Step 1: Use a piece of holly green wash tonal paper as the base for the layout.
Step 2: Cut a piece of the white woodgrain paper to measure 11-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. Adhere to the top of the layout.
Step 3: Cut two photos to measure 3-3/4″ x 6″. Adhere to the outer-lower corners of the layout.

Step 4: Adhere a 4″ x 6″ mat in between the photos.
Step 5: Use the Custom Cutting System with the Rectangle Patterns to create the “J” and “Y” letters. Cut where desired to end the pieces, and then round the corners with the 2-Way Corner Rounder.
Step 6: Using the inside and outside edge of the smallest Custom Cutting System Circle Pattern and the Red Blade cut a piece of any paper/cardstock.

Step 7: Cut 1/2″ strips from a variety of papers. Adhere around the circle, overlapping them. Turn the circle over, placing the Custom Cutting System Circle Pattern back on top of it, then cut again with the Red Blade to cut the excess. Turn back over, adhering between the J and Y as the “O” for “Joy.”
Step 8: Adhere the stickers and embellishments to the layout, using Foam Squares on some for added dimension.
Step 9: Journal as desired.

This layout is beautiful, thank you for posting
Love the “O” in JOY!! Definitely a cool looking layout!! Thanks for sharing Melissa!
Very clever use of the CCS Rectangles!! Great idea!
I love this layout. I’m not sure what the ccs rectangles are? Are they something new? I have circles and ovals
Love everything about this one! A+++
That wreath is so cleaver. Great Layout!
I took the little wreath idea and used it for a title page for my current Christmas album! I used the red blade on the inside of the jumbo ccs circle and the red blade on the outside of the small ccs circle for the base. I left the outside of the wreath uneven and trimmed the inside. Added a hand drawn bow. I’d post a photo if I was able. Thanks for the idea!!
