Jingle All The Way || Step-By-Step for My Creative Scrapbook || Simple Stories Mix and A-Mingle

Hello friends! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Here is another Xmas layout, which I created using the awesome December Creative Kit from My Creative Scrapbook. This month the Creative Kit features the "Mix and A-Mingle" collection from Simple Stories.  

This is the layout I created the step-by-step for:

For this layout I started with the sheet with all the fantastic tags:

I cut all the tags apart and used all 15 of them to create a "Christmas Tree". To do this I placed 1 tag at the top, 3 tags in the second row, 5 tags in the third row and 6 tags in the fourth (bottom) row. 

Using my Crop-A-Dile a punched a hole in all of the tags and threaded bakers twine through all the holes: 

With a little bit of glue I glued them in place, but I used my sewing machine to really fix them in place.  I used different stitches for added interest: 

And this is how the layout in progress looked after stitching: 

Now, all I had to do was place my photo on top (in the bottom left corner) and add die-cuts and stickers on the right side and above the photo:

I also added small embellishments on some of the tags.: 

After stamping the date on one of the tags my layout was finished. Hope you like it! 

Here's a photo of the December Creative Kit I used:
