12x12 LO: October Afternoon - "Seas the Day"

Hi Guys!  It's been a busy week, but I managed to squeeze in a 12x12 layout.  I've been hoarding the seaside papers for a while because I absolutely love them!!  Just about every item used on this layout is an October Afternoon product, including the letter stickers and embellishments.  I did some distressing with the Tim Holtz distressing tool and weathered wood distress ink.  I'm really happy with the finished product.  Here are some photos for you to check out:

The banner is made using some cut-outs from the paper collection, various buttons from my stash, and some baker's twine.

I used some twine throughout the layout to add some dimension and interest.

Well, I'm in for a busy weekend between a Christmas party and tree lighting I'm going to it should be fun and festive.  Have a great weekend!
