The Christmas Tree

Our Christmas tree in the living room. The theme is the same as last year, Red and Gold. Love the star at the top the best. But some of the fragile glass ornaments are really glittery and gorgeous.

Weekly Scraps



I've gone out of my comfort zone with these two layouts. I'm using Sassafras which is not one my usual style. But I really love the backgrounds. They fit the photos really well. I've also mixed and matched leftover papers from other collections, OA and Pink Paislee. And used different layout sketches. Both of which I don't ordinarily do. I did like how it all seemed to blend together at the end though. 

In the second layout, I didn't have time to finish the journalling AND take a photo so I just took the photo. I did complete the journalling in the end. I also tried out the new Frixion pens by Pilot. Where the ink can be rubbed off by friction. And doesn't leave a trace. Quite amazing actually.
