From Our House To Yours (Christmas in July Blog Hop Day 2)

Welcome to Day 2 of the Christmas in July Blog Hop!  You should have arrived from HERE.  If this is your first stop, please go HERE to the beginning!

For my project today, I wanted to make a layout that showcased our annual Christmas Picture Card.

My card measured 4x8, so I started with a rectangle from George and Basic Shapes sized to 4.25 x 8.25.  I used the Hello Kitty Font cartridge for the words.  House is sized at 1 inch in capital letters.  I copied and pasted the letters to a second layer to cut them out in a different color too.  The "from our to yours" is cut out of "round" at 1.12 inches.  I welded the words to my rectangle.

I cut it out in black.

I cut out a mat in maroon to put behind the photo card, but decided I liked the black better.

I cut out the word "House" in maroon and adhered it on top of the black.

I found this paper from the Deja Views Fair Isle Christmas Paper pad.  Because the paper is a little busy, I wanted to keep my layout simple.
