Today I have a Christmas layout for you made using the Artiste cartridge and the October stamp of the month. It has been a very long time since I have a made a layout. I really miss making them and want to try to make them more often! They can be so time consuming though.

Wonderful LO. I don't do them myself but it's always great fun to see what others come up with.
Beautiful card, Courtney, and a wonderful LO, Melanie!
I like your cards the best but I can see how I would pull elements for a card from a scrapbook layout (and vice versa), so keep up the good work! I'm always inspired no matter what.
Love the layout. Layouts are always welcome!!

I love the card. I don't have the Artiste cartridge, but I'm hoping I can duplicate the cuts with other cartridges that I have (and I may have to get the Artiste cartridge anyway - ha, ha). Oh, please do show more layouts. I'm not real creative in coming up with ideas, but I'm very good at copying - and you gals have some great ideas. Thank you.

The layout is beautiful and I would love to see more. I use to scrapbook a lot and this is inspiring.
What a great site. Love the ideas.
Nice Layout, I am going to use that Idea with some photos that I have been trying to work out.
No wonder your layouts take a lot of time.... it's absolutely GORGEOUS ... so many beautiful details..WOW! Thanks for sharing.
I'd love to see more layouts. I need to get back into actual scrapbooking soon. I really want to finish my 4 year olds baby book (hangs head in shame)!
Super layout. Love the use of colors.

Yes, I would love to see you guys do more LOs but more pictures in it, pretty please? With digital cameras and me being the family papparazzi, I take way too much photos it's a challenge to choose which to put in scrapbook pages ;).
I love to see the layouts others come up with. Sometimes they are all I need to spike my imagination!
Beautiful layout. I think I would love to see more home decor items. Paper scrapbooking just takes too much time and I always have too many pictures. :)
This is really a pretty layout. I myself do not scrapbook much and perfer cards and different projects, but I am sure there are a lot of scrapbookers out there that would love to see more of your beautiful & fun layouts.
Beautiful card! Enjoy the new card ideas.
Wow this really makes me excited for the Holidays! I love the fall and with your beautiful ideas, wow it will be a great ride~thanks for the inspiration.
this would make a beautiful card as well as a lo. tfs.
Wow! Really love your layout, very nice and I love the stitching on the letters!
What a beautiful layout! Since most of my crafting is scrapbooking, I would love to see more layouts. You ladies always inspire me with your creativity!
Beautiful layouts! The first one could also be adapted to a great card.
I'm always looking for inspiration for my scrapbook layouts. Thanks for this one!
Miriam
Beautiful layout. Thanks for sharing yet another great project.

Beautiful LO, and while I don't do much scrapbooking, I like looking at LO ideas. They often give me card ideas!
Great layout. I still have a difficult time using pink for Christmas. I just need to try it.
I'd love to see more layouts posted. Thanks for asking.
Hugs, CyndiU

Love your card, loving that Artiste cart more and more every time, too bad it's so expensive,
I love your cards, but layouts are always welcome.
When I first saw the blog, I thought it was a card and felt it was just BEAUTIFUL!! Then I read further and saw it was a LAYOUT! Oh gosh! That is totally FABULOUS!!! Thanks for stepping out of your box today :-)
Like you said layouts are more time consuming - cards are definitely quicker. One to three times a month or of course, as your time permits. This is very nice, Mel!!

I love the Noel layout. I'm always looking for nice Christmas layouts. JanG TGJGJGJGatAOLdotCOM
You guys are out of control! One day is better than the next. Thank you soooo much for sharing. I am starting my Christmas cards today. Can't wait any longer. Thank you!
I am more into cards these days but if you have the spare time I think I would not mind seeing some layouts now and than. Love the card. Never thought about pink for christmas. Great idea!
I love seeing cards and the layouts. This one is awesome since it is in pink. You don't see that too often during Christmas
Lovely LO, love all the different shapes you incorporated. And who doesn't love pink?! I don't scrapbook, but I don't mind a LO now and then.
Yes, I always enjoy seeing other peoples work. I helps to get my creative juices flowing.

It's a pretty layout, but my personal preference is for more cards!
I love looking at layouts
Thanks for all you do; I love seeing your amazing work.
Love to see more layouts. That was a great Christmas one.
Lovely layout Melanie! The paper is fabulous! Although I appreciate the creativity and work involved in layouts, i am a hard core card maker!
I like the NOEL on the card the best - very nice card indeed! Have a great day!
I would love to see more layouts! I am more of a scrapbooker than a card maker so I always love to see what new layout ideas people come up with
Kelly A. from Petaluma
I would LOVE to see more layouts! Seeing as how I do a majority of pages, with some cardmaking thrown in, I always love to see page examples. You did a great job here. TFS!
Great layout. Love the new Artiste cartridge.
I WOULD love to see more layouts. For me, it's obvious how to make a card with a particular design element. It's more of a challenge to think of a layout idea.
