I started by printing my photo to the exact size to fit in front of the window printed on paper #1. Using a craft knife I then cut into the printed picture so that my photo would slip into and become part of the picture.
Paper #1 (complete with my photo) was then trimmed down slightly and layered onto a sheet of paper #4 and then paper #3 leaving narrow borders around each. I like the effect this gives and it also introduced a little more blue to the layout.
Using one of the pieces from the Paper Elements Pack I then created some 3D stars to embellish the layout with. These are really easy to make with a 5 point paper star and a scoring tool. There is a good tutorial on how to make these here on the Doodlebug blog. They are quite addictive and you'll soon be adding them to your layouts.
I stuck the stars to my layout in clusters using some wet glue and once the glue has dried they held their shape quite well.
For the title I added some wooden words from Mintay's Chippies Christmas Words. I chose to leave the words in their original raw state rather than colour them, as I thought they went well with the colours in the papers.
Finally I added some computer printed journaling strips at the bottom of the layout, and some wood veneer stars and sequins from my stash.
I hope this layout has inspired you to scrapbook your Christmas's past and I'll be back again before Christmas with another layout using the fabulous Christmas Blessings collection.
Take Care,
