Believe

Hi there, Connie Nichol here today with a scrapbook layout featuring one of the new Quietfire Designs Christmas stamps and the gorgeous Believe die.  The latter makes a perfect title for layouts about Santa.  These pictures are from over a decade ago when my boys were little and visiting Santa was an annual tradition.  Sadly, it's been a few years since they believed in Santa Claus but scrapbooking these older photos lets me go back in time and remember some of the magic.

The Quietfire stamp about childhood memories was the perfect accent for the project.  I stamped the quote with Colorbox chalk ink in dark moss, cut it out with a Sizzix Framelit die and mounted it with some dimensional foam adhesive to make it pop a little bit.

I embellished the layout with extra poinsettias cut from another piece of patterned paper and embellished the centers with coloured pearl beads that came from the dollar store.  I tucked some flourishes and berry branches cut using dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs under the flowers and dressed them up a bit with Liquid Pearls.

Have a wonderful Christmas and be sure to take lots of pictures.

Supplies used:  Heartfelt Creations patterned paper, Quietfire Designs Christmas stamp and Believe die, Elizabeth Craft designs flourish and berry branch die, Sizzix framelit dies and Big Shot cutting machine, Colorbox ink, Ranger White Opals Liquid Pearls, lace, pearls.
