Melody Grace Christmas Card Layout

I made this layout following the sketch at Skecthes in Thyme. It's fun to see a baby change so much from newborn to 1 year old. I started with black and white patterned paper by Recollections and the rest of the layout is made of scraps of paper. Some of them by Sunborn, Provo Craft and Recollections cardstock. The background stamp that I used on the blue cardstock with Chipped Sapphire distress ink is by Stampin Up and the alphabet stamps by Oriental Trading Co. The scalloped circle in blue is a die by K and Co. The rest of the circles were cut with a circle punch or cut out with CM cutting system circles.

Then on the bottom we have last years Christmas card and she is growing up right before my eyes. I made this layout using the sketch from Scrap Much. The white cardstock came with the book but the black is by Recollections and the tan/polka dot papers are by Bo Bunny. The red patterned paper is by Provo Craft and the white with large circles on it is by Little Yellow Bicycle. The small tag is a Sizzix die cut that I ran through my Cuttlebug. The scalloped edge is a border punch by Stampin Up. The large circle and date are cut out using my Cricut with the George and Basic Shapes cartridge. The circle stamp to her right is a Unity Stamp Co stamp stamped with SU ink. I put Stickles around the edges to give it some sparkle. After it dried I added it to the layout and it was then that I decided to add the stickers. They are from Hobby Lobby from probably 4 years ago. I'm not one to throw out scrap supplies. I will eventually use it.
