LO -The Perfect Day

Use entirely MME The Sweetest Thing Collection from the Honey range for this layout
paper - Honey 'Perfect' , butterfly chipboard, sentiment yellow sticker, enamel dot, flower doily title, others: scallop circle die, pink and white vellum, polka dots embossing folder, corner punch

I have been hoarding MME collection of papers for more than a decade. Just manage to make few layouts because I have no confidence to tear those papers apart and ended with less than satisfying layout. I love the their designs, the colour combo is simply stunning. Sad that they no longer produce scrapbook collection.
This layout is based on Rochelle's sketch and adopting Stacy's tic-tac-toe challenge

Bright Christmas

 

stamp: House Mouse 'Merry & Bright' RSC-015
Others: leaves embossing folder, Copic, frame die, poinsettia die, SSS ink pad

I was the lucky winner for this cutie mouse stamp which was sponsored by Lorraine aka Lols last December. She is one talented lady, always churning out inspiring and beautiful cards. In the prize pack, I received her stunning mini handmade Christmas card. Of course I love and treasure it very much. I like keeping these handmade cards, admiring their craftwork as  each crafter has different design style. 

mini Christmas card by Lorraine (Thank you so much!)

I coloured this image with Copic. Next, I die-cut a frame out of the green cardstock, after that, embossed it with the leafy embossing folder. Adhered the green panel onto the image and added die-cut poinsettia flower as embellishment.
