..... can come in many different forms. And for me, one of them was receiving a really happy email from
Little Yellow Bicycle sometime early October informing me that I have been given the opportunity to be a part of their 'Once Upon a Christmas' Cycling Team (
yeay!)
.... and then of course, the anticipation of receiving a box full of goodies from them! (really, they spoil us!!!)
I made 2 layouts and 2 cards and still have lots of leftovers!!! :)
This is the first layout I made. The photos was from last year when I was still in Malaysia. I love the snowflakes on this pp. And assembling the rest of the embellishments on it was effortless.
For this layout, I used the little silver stars as accents and oh, I actually was thinking of hoarding the reindeer (cos I really loved it) but I used it on this layout anyway.. :) I popped it up on pop dots to create some dimension. I also stitched the green pp just because....
Look at the reindeer! Isn't it a doll!!! And the snowflakes on its body! love love love!!
I love the chipboard embellishments they have in this line as well. Ok, I guess you know I have a thing for snowflakes by now :)
This card is made under 10 minutes because LYB has the awesomest papers! :D I cut out a part of a pp with the little boy and girl and popped them on top of another pp, tied some twine on it and finished it off with the 'Merry & Bright' sentiment.
I love the little baubles provided in the chipboard embellishment set as well and created this card with them. I drew the dotted lines and tied the bakers twine before adhering them on the baubles and that's about it! Oh, I added some stickles to them cos I wanted the 'snowy' effect :) And the Merry Christmas sentiment is from the pp where I cut out the little boy and girl! :)
Don't they look pretty? :)
