Grinch Scrapbook Layout

Hello Friends!  The stomach bug "Grinch" tried to steal our Christmas this year.  We had to celebrate a week late while it made it's way around some the members of our family.

“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! 
 What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”
Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! 

I found these cute Grinch cuts from Scrappy Dew and decided to incorporate them into a scrapbook layout.

  • Images:  ScrappyDew "Grinch 2013"
  • Designer Paper:  K&Company "Ancestry" 12"x12" pack
  • Other:  Baker's Twine, Stickles, Liquid Pearls

Layout Recipe:
  • Ornaments:  I enlarged the ornament that Cindy Lou is holding to about 6".  A couple of the ornaments are flipped.  Tops are accented with silver Stickles.   These will be my photo mats. 
  • Baker's Twine:  I glued a string of Baker's Twine along both pages giving some movement for the eye to follow.  Bows were made from Baker's Twine and glued on as well.

  • Header:  "Where are you Christmas" came with the ScrappyDew set.  Letters are accented with Stickles.  Sized at 1" in height.

  • Grinch:  Instead of using all the different cuts that come with this set, I opted to use their example image and created a cut and print image.  Stickles has been added to fur and belt buckle.  Image mounted on foam tape.  Sized at 5" in height.

  • Max Dog = Example image was traced and made into a cut and print.  Antlers have Liquid Pearls added.  Image mounted with foam tape and is 3" in height.

  • Cindy Lou = Example image was traced and made into a cut and print.  Stickles added to hair bow, ornament top and bottom of Cindy's outfit.  Image mounted with form tape and is 3.5" in height.
  • Christmas Tree = Example image was traced and made into a cut and print.  Stickles added to star, ornaments, packages and Grinch's fur.  Image mounted with foam tape and is 6.5" in height.
  • Border on bottom = cut at 2" from scrap paper.  Brown trim cut at 1/4" and is also scrap paper.

I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas!
