Back to punching it

I've recently pulled out my punch needle supplies and gotten some new things done. This pretty Easter piece was something I drew up a while back. It is mounted on wool felt with some hand stitched pennies. I've offered this up for auction on eBay.

Sketch N Scrap Layout Challenge #74

Happy February everyone! I have a sketch for you today from Sketch-N-Scrap. Play along with us and upload your take to the blog for a chance to win.
For my layout I printed out two photos of the kids decorating our Christmas tree this past Christmas. They were eager to help and who cares if your tree is only decorated from 4 feet down? I pulled out my stash from Simple Stories, 25 Days of Christmas line and put this layout together. To me Simple Stories is one of the easiest lines to work with and also one of the hardest. The papers are so delicious on both sides, some times it pains me to glue one side down never to be seen again. I've found myself buying two of every sheet when it come to Simple Stories so I can use both sides. Which is possibly the best marketing strategy? 
Items I used in this layout:
Simple Stories • 25 Days of Christmas • Glad Tidings
 Simple Stories • 25 Days of Christmas • Expressions Cardstock Stickers
Simple Stories • 25 Days of Christmas • Fundamentals Cardstock Stickers
Simple Stories • 25 Days of Christmas • Various other papers, not named
