Take 5 Tuesday Challenge - December!

It's time for our very last Take 5 Tuesday Challenge of 2017!  I can't believe how fast the year has flown by, it seems like we were just working on summer layouts during the month of July!
I'd like to thank each and every one of you that has played along with Take 5 this past year, your projects always inspire me, and fill my head with amazing ideas!!!

OK, on to December...
Here's this month's idea list, remember to play along with the challenge you must use 5 things from the list. You can use more to make it your own, but you must use at least 5!

Here's my layout, using the School and Sports FREE cut file, and trying to get my daughter's school album caught up!  My 5 items from the list are the colors gold and white, patterned paper, cardstock and a sticker.

Next up is Lisa with another one of her amazing cards, don't you love that little snowman! She uses the colors silver, gold and white, snowflake, patterned paper, layers sticker and winter, all from the Snow & Cocoa collection by Crate Paper

Wendy made this darling gift bag using Photo Play's Mad 4 Plaid Christmas collection and a little of Crate Paper's FaLaLa too! Her 5 items from the list are the colors gold and white, snowflake, patterned paper bling, cardstock, layers and sticker. I love this idea, Wendy and think I'll be using some of my left over scraps to make gift bags this year!!

I love the dark background on this layout from Damaris!  She used the Bubble FREE cut file that can be found here in the PI store, along with the colors gold and white, snowflake, patterned paper cardstock, layers, sticker, punch and the word winter.

I really think Cocoa Vanilla's Bohemian Dream collection was made to go with these photos! Look at the beautiful layering on this layout by Kelly, it's so very eye catching! She used the color white, patterned paper, cardstock, layers and ink. 

I love how Stacie uses the big cluster of flowers from the Turn the Page collection by Pink Paislee to showcase her family photo! She mixed in white, patterned paper, journaling, layers and stickers. 
    

Amanda's layout is so happy and bright, I love the pops of color against the white background! She uses Crate Paper's Snow & Cocoa collection along with the colors gold and white, snowflake, patterned paper, bling, cardstock, layers, sticker, ink and the word winter.

And finally, this beautiful layout from Rachel. This is such a sweet photo of her and her husband, and I love how she has "wrapped" them up in the cut file scarf! The scarf cut file is available for FREE here in the PI store.
