The Storyteller - A LGS Reveal

Time for another LGS reveal!  This time we are adding a twist - you must use the color palette below as well as the sketch.  Although the colors are Christmas-y, I know there are samples of using the colors in non-Christmas layouts over at the Let's Get Sketchy blog!

When I started this layout, I didn't know how Christmas-y I was going to make it.  I chose the picture more for my daughter's red dress than because the story her great-granddad was reading was about the birth of Jesus.  But, because I wanted to add some embellishments to the layout, I went ahead and made it a little more Christmas-y with the word elements.  
 Here is an (upside down) close up of some of the layers.  I am really liking the layered look on single photo layouts these days!
 I have also enjoyed making rosettes lately.  I have been adding them to many projects!  And with the score board I got a Christmas this last year, they are a cinch to make!  I love the dimension they give the layout, and they are so easy to make out os scraps.

As for what I used on this layout, it is a mix for sure!  Many of the papers are Crate Paper Peppermint, but I added in most MME 6x6 papers, as well as some Nikki Sivilis.  The embellishments are a mix of the three as well.
