LO - Me

 

papers: MME (Whirly Bird, In Bloom), Making Memories (Floral Rouge, Twinkle),  Bazzil 

others: Lifestyle Circle Scallop die, Spellbinder Classic Circle die, Martha Stewart Punch Around The Edge 'Loop' Punch, alphabet dies, AAL & Create tag die, sticker from my stash

Based on Rochelle's sketch, made this layout with the theme about me actually. To me, enjoying festive season with family is the most important part of my life. I used my favourite manufacturer (MME) patterned papers and mixed with other brand too. I had a hard time matching the paper and the photo. Even the cardstock colour selection for the title took me ages to decide.
