Doodlebug Milk & Cookies Waiting For Santa Scrapbook Page

Hello there!  I'm popping in today with a fun layout mixing a variety of cut files and cute embellishments from the darling Milk and Cookies collection.

I was so happy when I stumbled across these photos of my daughter getting ready for Santa a few year's back because they are a perfect compliment to these adorable papers!  I started by opening up each of the cut files in my Silhouette software and then setting my screen to view them at 100%.  I then could hold up my various die-cuts and stickers to decide on sizing and see how everything would fit together.

When all my pieces were cut and assembled, I added touches of stitching using my sewing machine and embellished my scene with various sprinkles to help the scene come alive!  As a final finishing touch, I paired the Christmas word die-cut from the odds & ends pack with the Love Letter alphabet stickers to complete my title. I just love how it all came together and the over-sized 12x12 clipboard is the perfect frame to display my finished work of art.

 To create my scene today, I used the following cut files:
  • Milk & Cookies Fireplace- available HERE or HERE
  • Milk & Cookies Santa In Chair- available HERE or HERE
  • Milk & Cookies Tree- available HERE
I hope I've inspired you to mix some cut files with your other embellishments on a future project.  It's seriously so much fun!  ;)

 Make sure to swing by the Doodlebug blog this month to see more great ideas for Holiday gifts.  I've seen sneak peeks and my fellow teammates have dreamed up some darling ideas.

      Thank you Stephanie. I use a Janome "New Home" machine from about 1980. I highly recommend older machines picked up at a second hand store with metal parts. They were just made better back then and you can probably pick them up cheaper than a lesser quality new one. :)
