Joy Layout

Had a lot of fun creating this layout for a workshop I taught this weekend at the Ready Set Crop Fall Frolic retreat. The layout features the  Christmas Story paper along with images from the Christmas Story Digital Art Collection.

The inspiration for this layout came from a sketch from the Close To My Heart Blog. You can see this sketch along with others here.

I incorporated elements from the Digital Art Collection to embellish this layout and used some mixed media techniques to add some dimension to the elements. I used my Cricut and 12"x12" Acetate sheets to create stencils for the title and 2 ornament elements. I then used Opaque Matte Texture Paste and Solar Flare Glitter Gel to color the title and layers.

I love working with the Digital Art Collections as you can do so much with the images on a Cricut, Silhouette or other electronic die cut machine.

You can see and shop the whole Christmas Story Collection on my website - here.

I hope you like the layout. Thanks for stopping by!
