ScrapbookPal.Com Design Team Entry

Hello everybody! Today's post and project is doubling as an entry to be on a new design team for ScrapbookPal.com. ScrapbookPal is an awesome online scrapbook supply store. I have gotten tons of supplies from them- everything from adhesives to Copics, and I don't think I have paid full price for one thing! I would love to be on their design team!
For my project today I wanted to make a layout of a favorite picture from Christmas. I wanted to do something a little more whimsical, so I decided to use this fun paper from Bella Blvd's Christmas Wishes collection. FYI- all the supplies I used to make this layout can be found at ScrapbookPal.com! Each product will have a link in case you would like to try it yourself! Here is my layout:

I used Bazzill cardstock for the base and the shadows cuts. All the cuts were done with the Winter Folic cartridge- I just purchased this cart from ScrapbookPal right before Christmas, and I am LOVING it! (they have it at a great price, too!) ;) I popped up the tree and reindeer on some glue dots to give them more dimension. **Here's a tip- when you're working with a Cricut cut like this where there are many layers and many of those layers are very small, I use my zig glue pen for adhesive. It has a smaller chisel tip, so you can get adhesive in those smaller places, not to mention more control. I also use my Quick Stik- this tool is awesome for picking up those small pieces and the other end easily removes gems from their backing for placement on your projects. I used it to place the star shaped rhinestones on my border- easy peasy!!

I added some stickles to the tree "ornaments" and the Reindeer's Christmas Light bulbs for a little more sparkle, and done! I hope you enjoyed my project, and make sure to head over to ScrapbookPal to stock up on all those supplies!!
