For my layout, I used Teresa Collins Designs' Santa's List from her summer 2013 release.  I'm happy to say I used up what I had left except for a handful of 12x12 sheets! :)   

 

My title was cut with white cardstock and cut file #51842
from the Silhouette Shop.   

 

 

Here, I added a chipboard button from the collection, as well as some sequins and enamel dots. 

 

 

I typed my journaling up on my electric typewriter with some of the patterned paper from Santa's List.  Do you like to journal with your own handwriting? I wish I had better penmanship...I have some fellow scrappy friends that have gorgeous handwriting! 

 

I added one of these cute pennants from the Chipboard Elements, as well as a doily and a gold paper clip!

 

 

More sequins, enamel dots, and chipboard!  Do you see a pattern here? LOL 

 

 

Thanks again for stopping by!  Before you leave, I love giving away goodies! Today,  I'm doing a giveaway of some Teresa Collins Designs papers and embellishments!! Just comment below and tell me your favorite thing about Christmas! 

Now onto Wendy's blog!
