just wanted to share a layout i did last week for hero arts … it went up on the hero arts blog today. along with tons of other super cute cards by other designers … so make sure and check them out too.

this is a photo of alyssa from 4 years ago. i actually scrapped this photo on a layout about whether or not she still believed in the magic of christmas. i loved that layout … and it was actually published 4 years ago. i thought it would be fun to scrap that same photo and same idea now … 4 years later. what i thought was happening 4 years ago … didn't happen until this year. i'm glad she believed longer than i thought she would.

used lots of christmas stamps on here. on the blue and pink papers, i used the design block holly flourish stamp … which i heat embossed with white. i also used the large christmas circles stamps on white cardstock … and then pop-dotted them onto kraft circles that i embossed in the cuttlebug … and added a few gems on for a little sparkle.

i just love the tree stamps … the pocketful o' holiday trees small stamps and the three trees large stamps. i stamped them with black ink onto colored cardstock and then cut them out. i adhered them with pop-dots and added little gems at the top of each tree. the title letters are puffy stickers from making memories … along with the star brad that is dotting the "i".

supplies:
cardstock – bazzill
pattern paper – making memories (green), bobunny (blue)
stamps, gems - hero arts
puffy letters, star brad – making memories
swiss dot embossing folder – cuttlebug
scallop punch – stampin up
buttons – autumn leaves
other – embossing powder, string

    Congrats Laura on the Hero blog! What a pretty layout using stamps and embossing and all the different elements you used. Did you finish your Christmas albums on time? Can’t wait to see more of what’s in it.

    Laura,
    I just want to tell you that I love everything that you do. It all seems so effortless for you (where as it is NOT for me:) but the results are wonderful!

    Totally loving this layout Laura. I love how you incorporate string into your pages — I bought some but haven’t used it yet — I think this layout will inspire me for sure. Thanks for sharing!
