Family Is Everything | Step-By-Step My Creative Scrapbook November Creative Kit

Hello friends! Are you already in the mood for Christmas & Christmas layouts? I am! I was so happy when Pam from My Creative Scrapbook sent me the amazing November Creative kit filled with Crate Paper's Hey, Santa collection! 

Here's the layout for which I've made a little step-by-step:

Except for November Creative kit I've also used one of this month's free subscriber cut files:

The first thing I did was cutting 12 strips of paper, measuring 2" x 12". As I couldn't choose which paper I liked best, I cut off strips of six different papers. As they are double sided I now had 12 different designs. 

Next I cut these in smaller parts, varying in length:

I arranged them on my background cardstock, leaving a spot where my photos was going to be: 

Using my Singer sewing machine I stitched all of these in place:

I already love this, even without the photo!

Next I placed the matted photo and the cut file on my page to see how it looked and trying to decide where my embellishments should go. One thing was sure, Santa had to be included!

Here are a few detail photos of the finished layout:

This is it! Easy peasy! I'm so happy I received this kit, I'm totally in love with it! ! For more information about this kit (and the other 3 kits of this month) please visit the My Creative Scrapbook website and if you want to see the photos of all projects created by the design team with the various kits, please visit the Design Team Gallery.
