Patterned Paper Love

I always get so excited by a new class and as far as I can tell Shimelle's classes are the best ones online. I really do not think there has been one that I have taken that I did not learn something from. This new class is all about using and mixing patterned paper. Anybody that knows me knows that I love patterned paper more than just about anything except travel and my kids. So when the new class started today I was ready to jump right in. What do you know she used a pp line that I could only find two sheets of in my stash. What was I to do? Below is what I came up with. Thanks Shimelle for the inspiration. Sorry the last pic of the layout is blurry I will try and get a better one tomorrow if the rain and wind stop and I can take it out side.
 The 2 pieces that inspired the kit I put together.

   
The 12 sheets of PP that ended up in my homemade kit.

 The finished Layout, used a sketch from the Page Maps 2 book for inspiration.

C-Day minus10 weeks | Handmade By Kirsty

C-Day minus10 weeks | Handmade By Kirsty
I am going to try a new way of doing things this year and her 10 week approach sounds very doable.  I am still not sure where we will be for Christmas this year but if we are home I look forward to decorating and cooking.  If we are at Disney well that would be fun too and somebody else can do the cooking.
