Christmas White Pines - Crop challenge

While I was at the CTMH event back in November I was challenged at the crop to use some items provided in the CTMH goodie bag to make a layout.   I normally don't take part in these type of challenges because I usually have a goal to getting pages done that I have prepared for the crop time/event.   In this case I did not bring much seem I was teaching my class.

So... challenge accepted....
In the goodie bag was 2 PML cards... the gift & the merry christmas card.
At first when the PML cards were incorporated with CTMH I was hesitate to use them.   But now I just love the way the PML cards can act as a semi-title.  

I decided to add some texture to this layout... I just love how the embossing folder gives the layout some depth... using a sanding block I think it makes it look like a woolly sweater :)

As you will probably notice... I rarely stamp on my scrapbook layouts... as I'm so worried about messing it up.  There is always 'Bling' though... it's a given for me... 

In the centre of the layout is the Gold Fundamental Assortments heart (Z3105).

Just a sprinkle of Gold Embossing powder to give it a little more 'bling' to the page.

Supplies used are all CTMH:
Paper:  White Pines Paper, Colonial White, Chocolate, Cranberry, Fern Cardstock, PML White Pines Z3176
Stamps: Handwritten Print E1030
Embellishment: Ranger Princess Gold Embossing Powder Z2066,  Versamark Z891, Gold Fundamental Assortments Z3105, Gold Sequins Z2012, Sanding Kit Z1294, Gold shimmer trim Z1985, Embossing folder Chervon Z1925, Red Enamel Gems Z3090
