Neat and Crafty

I’m so in love with this little deer it’s totally cute but everything about this collection is totally adorable and I really love the colours and patterned papers..

Each year we would go and take photos on Santa’s chair in the shopping centre as our youngest daughter was terrified of Santa and would non stop cry so this was the best idea to get that happy Christmas photo.

I started off by cutting out a Christmas tree shape with my silhouette cameo with 3 separate parts that I could layer on top of each other and using my fringing scissors I added a fringe along the bottoms of each part of the tree and layered them all and machine stitched each layer then adhered them together and on the background

Then I was thinking I need a bit of colour at the top of the layout so I cut a strip of patterned paper then using the border stickers from the this and that sticker sheet and put them across the bottom of the patterned paper strip then adding a few little die cuts from the chit chat pack then machine stitching across the middle of the sticker

Then I mattered my photo on patterned papers from the 6x6 paper pad then added it to my card stock just tucking it under the edge of the tree. Then I started adding die cut pieces from the chit chat and odds and ends pack until I was happy with the placement of each piece then it was time to add the title I used Xmas for part of my title from the chit chat pack and the rest of my title from the this and that sticker sheet.
