He Filled All the Stockings Layout for Lasting Memories #779

It's time for my final Lasting Memories layout of 2025 (favorite challenge from 2025), and I chose to re-visit one of Jill's Favorites that she posted in June. For LM #757, she challenged us to use a favorite tool. At the time, I was really using my stamps a lot, but I think my Cricut actually gets more playtime in my craft room, so I am going with that. I used it to die-cut a bunch of items for this layout, and I seldom create a layout wherein I don't use my Cricut for at least one thing. How about you? Are you a Cricut lover, or do you have another favorite tool? Come play along with us at Lasting Memories using this challenge or any other from 2025. We would love to see your layouts!

For my layout, I mirrored my monthly sketch again, but subbed tags for some of the shapes, and kept the pictures at the outsides of the layout so I could stretch my title across the middle.
