#138 Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Layout

Hi everyone! I am sorry I have been M.I.A. this past week I had family visiting from out of town and we did something everyday for a week I was so tired LOL! Then I have been out of cable and internet the last 2 days because we are switching companies! Anyways here's a Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer I made to put some pics of my son holding his new Rudolph movie I bought for him, he watched it for the very first time and loved it!

All of the papers I used are from the CTMH Pear and Partridge Paper pack, I also added CTMH Hemp on the photo mat and a CTMH red button on the tag. I used an Art Philosophy Cricut companion stamp for the large snowflake on the top right corner and also the Art Philosophy Cricut cart for the 2 banners. The snowflake border is from the Martha Stewart snowflake border punch. The font is from my computer that I cut out using my Silhouette Cameo and also the KaDoodle Bug Designs Santa's Workshop Crew original artwork by Kristi W. Designs.
