First layout of 2014

was a long time in coming. It laid around taunting me for a long long time.

Why?

I don't know.

Connor and his stuffie are totally adorable and I think I just wanted to savor it a bit more.

I had the papers, design laying about for awhile on my desk. It was a driveby page and I love those - however, they usually don't take this long.

So I decided get this baby rolling just by stamping a bit of background and then adhering the main things down. After that I poked around to get the bits and pieces from various baskets where those bits and pieces live and they just seem to come together.

The majority of everything is Studio Calico pattern papers, project life do-dads (and I just got January's kit today) can't wait to dive in. However, there are some things I need to do before I can get rolling - so I'm just fondling and oogling in the meantime. Sissix die, Dear Lizzy frame, bottlecap I found at a flea market, and a couple mfg's I can't remember. Sadly.
