All Is Merry and Bright Layout

I have to say I'm super excited about this layout for a number of reasons. It might not be the fanciest or most decorated, but I checked so many challenges off the list with this one, that I'm super happy with it.

1. I made a Counterfeit Kit for the first time. It was super fun to do, and I hope I can keep it up monthly, but the spring semester is always super busy. In the kit I put so many different collections which is hard for me to mix and some really old stuff. The most exciting thing is that I used it! Here's a link to the Counterfeit Kit blog showing this month's kit.

2. I'm a member of the Scraptember Facebook group, and for January they are doing a Stash Bash challenge. Day #3 was to scraplift, and this layout fulfilled that challenge. I'll explain more below.

3. A few months ago Janet over at RTS Youtube channel had a 6x6 series where she used sketches from Allison Davis over at Scrapbook Generations. I bought the class and watched all the videos but never completed a page. This layout was my first one from that. I scraplifted Allison Davis's first layout and sketch from that class. Janet is taking a break from Youtube at the moment but check out her channel anyway. She has been a major inspiration for me this past year.

So here is my layout:

And here is the list of the companies and collections (when I could) that I used:
