Day 6- Christmas Journal

Day 6

The topic for Shimelle's class today is "Christmas Past." For some reason, last year I started a Christmas journal and never really worked on it. These are the pictures from my Santa Train trip that I never got to scrap. I tried something new with this one- I used a layered template from Peppermint Creative to make the photo collage. It was a 12x12 template. I put my photos in, and then I cropped the image to 8x8. There was a bit of negative space around the photo area. So I cut out the photos and mounted them on patterned paper and added my stickers and journaling tag. So much easier than cropping them all the traditional way! Holy smokes! I definitely will be using more of these.

Just my Hallmark ornaments from this year! I kind of struggled with a design on this one.

Today we went to see Santa! I have some hidden journaling on this one, the little red Santa tag pulls out a journal card. I'm glad to be keeping up this year, thanks to the premade tags and that I precut all the paper before I started. It's a snap.

Welcome to Queen Kat's Royal Wednesday blog hop. You should have arrived from Nina's blog. If not, the hop starts here!

It's new release week! This month, I got to work with Kitty in the Library. I thought this dictionary paper worked well with it. I stamped the kitty with Memento Ink, colored with Copics, and glazed the wings with Glossy Accents, because they reminded me of stained glass.

Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop is the Queen Kat Designs Store.
