Jaded Blossom Challenge: Anything but a Card

Hello!  Today I am posting my entry into the Jaded Blossom Challenge.  I decide to make a two page layout.  Every year we feed Santa's reindeer and I usually get pictures of all the kids and my husband tossing out the feed.  This year was a little different, my husband got a few pictures of me helping the kids feed the reindeer.  Having six kids, only 5 of the understanding what is going on though, you understand that there was a LOT of feed tossed out.  I am not sure how the reindeer took off after eating my kids' offering and there were a lot of left overs.  Christmas morning we had a gorgeous array of birds snacking on these left overs. 

I started with two sheets of coordinating paper, I think they were Recollection brand from Michaels that I picked up a couple of years ago.  I cut my title, mattings and reindeer crossing sign with my Cricut ( I will put more details below). 

 The next picture below has the title.  I cut "WE" from the Pooh fonts cartridge, "believe" was from the Gypsy Wanderings and the Reindeer crossing sign was made from a sign on Campin' Critter cartridge and a deer from Joys of the Season cartridge.  I used a dies and stamps from My Creative time to create the year piece and all the journaling areas.  

Page two has three mattings and a jar filled with reindeer food, below.  The jar was from the Spread the Love set , Jaded Blossom .  I stamped the jar twice once on white paper and the second time on craft paper.  I embossed dots on the craft paper, to look like bird seed, and then spread glitter glue over the craft paper.  I made a flag with a sentiment from the same set, but I changed Love to Magic, sorry I had to use a My Pink Stamper for that.  I created a brad with "I believe" from the Christmas candies.  I didn't get it centered up perfectly but it fits just right on the "i-Topper" 22 mm brad.  The picture of this detail is below second page of the layout.   

 

Well, I hope you enjoyed this layout.   See you again soon and thanks for stopping by.
