DCWV December Stack-a-holic Template Challenge

It's that time again!  DCWV has posted their December Template Challenge.  You can find all the details HERE.   Here's what the template looks like:

Here's my interpretation of it  :

I used the DCWV Doodlin' Around Stack for the background paper and the jounaling tag.  The Bronze colored paper that makes the circle design is DCWV from the Shimmer stack. The matt paper and the Wheeeee title were done with paper from the DCWV Brights stack. 

The bronze circle design was cut from the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge using the "Design 1" frame. I cut it using fit to page.  The "Wheeee" title was cut using the Art Nouveau Cricut cartridge.  I welded it together in the Cricut Craft Room.  The Journaling Shape was cut from Elegant Edges using the oblong feature on "Circle 2."

The crocheted ribbon was from my garage sale stash.  My version of the stick pin is a toothpick that I colored with a metallic bronze marker and then added the "Fun" circle that is a cut out from the Doodlin Around Stack.   The white lettering is a gel pen. 

I liked this template so much that I made another layout using the "punched out parts" of the Design 1 frame that were left over from the first layout.

Here's how it turned out:

I used the Doodlin' Around stack for this layout too. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my post. 

I appreciate all comments. Each one is a blessing.
