Little Yellow Bicycle is doing wonderful and exciting blog posts this month. The Twelve Days of Once Upon a Christmas Cycling Team has a ton of inspiration for you to get in that holiday spirit!
Yesterday was my debut at Little Yellow Bicycle. I have to admit I was REALLY nervous about this guest spot. It took me a couple of days to even come up with an idea and then I was so nervous to cut the paper because I didn't want to mess up. Finally I went to my hubby and told him how I was feeling and he was so awesome! His words of advice "Get Over It!!! Do your work and don't over think it!" I so love him. He was totally right I was over thinking it! So once I got over it my mojo started to flow!
This collection is THE most beautiful collection ever. I absolutely love the Christmas collections. They are always my favorite and Once Upon a Christmas did not let me down. It is so awesome!
For my first project I made a layout of my boys with Santa. I had been saving this photo from last year. I really needed the perfect paper for this special photo I snapped while Santa was talking to the boys before the actual photo was taken. I love how Santa is whispering in Michael's ear and he is just all smiles!

For this cluster I used the chipboard and clear acrylic overlay figures for my ornaments. I added some of the green burlap twine from The Stringery (I am loving that burlap twine!)

twine- the stringery
I also made a second project- a collection of gift card presents. I would love it if you stopped on over there to check them out and leave a little love! You can see the projects HERE Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I will be back tomorrow with a new project! See you then! Have a wonderful and crafty day!

I like your hubby's advice, not only because it allowed you to create this beautiful layout, but it's what I tell myself all the time. :)
beautiful layout!
This is the most beautiful layout, Mary Pat. You did a wonderful job with this collection. I love that embellie trio and the photo is priceless! I know just how you feel about making the first cut. That's so hard for me to do too!
Gorgeous layout!!! :)
And kudos to your hubby because it worked! Sounds like something mine would say :)
But I totally understand your nerves.
If you were nervous it doesn't show. This is fantastic! You should be so proud!
Gorgeous page, and that photo is really priceless. Love your clusters, especially the tied ornaments!
Such an awesome layout! That photo is adorable.
Those ornaments are such great embellishments!
Great layout. Don't doubt your talent for a second.
Oh wow! What an awesome layout! I love the ornaments.

What a gorgeous layout!!!
very pretty! beautiful papers.
What a great job. I didn't even know LYB did holiday collections.
This layout is beautiful! I would be nervous to cut into those pretty papers too.
I'm glad your husband was so supportive. AJ has to say that to me sometimes, especially when I'm sending something to someone...like our Save the Dates! I was so worried people wouldn't like them! He told me to get over it and just mail them out :)
This is a wonderful payout to tribute a fabulous photo! Love all the layers.
Your layout turned out beautiful! I'm cracking up at hubby's advice! Too funny!
Your layout is absolutely stunning.
I too would be nervous about cutting into this gorgeous paper.
Love your hubby's advice :)
