The first challenge I did was for this layout sketch by Kat Benjamin.  Here is my take on it!

I used a 5x7 picture from my girls' Christmas photo shoot from Target this year!  The Poppin' Pink Flurries snowflake sequins were the perfect match for their outfits!  I really have enjoyed using nontraditional Christmas colors so far!  I chose a white 12x12 piece of card stock and used a specialty piece of gold chevron paper from Crate Paper Journey collection.  I used my sewing machine to sew a border around the edge of the layout.  

I layered a few pieces of Maggie Holmes Open Book papers behind the photo and a piece of vellum with gold confetti from Maggie Holmes Confetti.  I even broke out my Cuttlebug and made a few white glitter snowflakes using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflake die.  Here you can see that I embellished with a few Gold Garland Confetti on top of a few splatters of Heidi Swapp Color Shine in black. 

I used a few Cork-Fetti Hearts to add to my embellishment clusters with Birds Of A Feather felt feathers in white that I stitched onto the layout using my sewing machine.  

I typed some of my title with my typewriter and typed out a few words to embellish with.  I layered my title on top of a 4" Gold Foil Doily.  For this spread I also used a few puffy stars from Crate Paper Journey, a few wooden sequins from Chic Tags, and my title Thickers are from Dear Lizzy Documentary.
