This week at the Mother LOAD we were working on using products that we really like. Many of us apparently horde the products that we love. I do not have that problem. I buy 2, 3, 5 copies of things I love. That way I’ve got another when I’m ready to use it again.
How I got started with this LO was… I first decided that I was going to do a Christmas LO. I love Christmas, and have quite the Christmas stash. Then I picked my newest favorite Christmas picture. Sean screaming bloody murder with Santa. I wanted this picture, I knew what it was going to be after last year, and I didn’t care. I wanted a picture of Sean with Santa. Then I found this pretty blue polka dot paper and thought WOW! This looks great with my picture, and wouldn’t it look great with the snowflake overlay from Hambly that I have? It did. Then I went through my embellishments and started shopping. I remembered what May Flaum told me about clustering… I picked out that awesome Santa playing card, the peace card from the Paper Source and the holly and I was on my way. I just love how it turned out. The sun makes the background look weird, but in person it is exactly what I wanted. The Santa is so perfect, I wanted everything to kind of feel perfect too.
Supply list to come…
