Christmas Chaos - MWM Jade 8

Time for another fun layout based on a ScrapbookSteals MWM sketch (Jade 8).

Here is the sketch by the wonderful Kerys!

I pulled out my 12 Days of Christmas 6x6 pad that I recently "stole" and started with the mat for the photos. I loved that I could pull in so many colors using the woven mat, many of which are in the kids' matching pajamas.  But, once I had the mat done, I had to figure out how to finish off the layout.  I wanted to pull in some darker blue from the jammies, so I added a faux pleated strip using Indie Chic 6x6 papers.  Then I went to embellish it using some Nikki Sivilis and Crate Paper pieces as well as some stitching and of course some Thickers.

 If you have never done a Mid-Week Mojo over at ScrapbookSteals, you really should!  The sketches are always so fun, and they draw one random winner each week.  Plus they have a bigger random drawing prize for those that complete all ten sketches in a jewel series.  More information on MWM can be found here.
