Christmas 2009

Just a couple of layouts from last Christmas to use up some more of the beautiful Pink Paislee Mistletoe & Co. paper


This one was for the current Weekly Challenge at UKS. Had to use ribbon, bling, journalling. To scrap a picture of something other than a person and use a sketch. I chose to use the latest Pencil Lines Sketch, #171. The photo is of our "preparation" table. It held all the overspill of food, napkins etc.

This next one has nothing to do with any challenge or any sketch, which is a bit rare for me as I love to work off a sketch. What I wanted to do was to use up the large die cut without cutting it up, but it looked a little odd set on a piece of 12x12 cardstock, so I cut the card to match the diecut.


Then I just threw layers at it until I came up with something I liked! So it's still a 12x12 and I even managed to gut the paper a bit so I have some scallop edges left over after all.

Wrapping paper?

The idea was to make a layout that looked as though it was made from the paper, tags and ribbons that are left once all the presents have been unwrapped. The tag actually is a leftover from a Christmas present.

I bought myself some Pink Paislee Mistletoe & Co. for the sole purpose of scrapping photos from Christmas 2009. The idea being that they'll all match in the album.

Have also decided to take some of my layout photos using John's painting easel. This at least keeps them flat when I'm taking their pictures, especially in the awful light that we're getting at the moment.
