Using Up Christmas Scraps with Non Christmas Photos

 

Hi. Lisa here with my Christmas leftovers.

I am one to enjoy using up leftovers. Whether that's food or scrap materials, I really enjoy it. It's like a little challenge.

 

Today I'm using the Simple Stories 'Freezin Season' collection which you can view here.  

Although I bought this with Christmassy Projects in mind, it's also really good to use on non Christmas/Winter photos too.

 

I do have a process video of me making these pages today which you can watch here.

I am creating inside my Summer holiday Travelers Notebook.

 

 

 

I started off by covering a double page in watercolour paper. I added a red spotty strip along the bottom and a strip of those cute houses. It was the houses that inspired this page. They made me think of the beautiful houses in Savannah.

I then used water colours in the remainder of the page and let it dry.

 

 

 

I slotted my photos all in one line down the bottom under those houses.

 

 

I then cut thin strips of the paper to create those journaling strips.

 

 

There's the finished page.

 

 

I then went on to use the mountain papers with my Disney Everest ride photos. I share some great tips on how to create a photo strip on my video and how to block out strangers in your photos  :  )

 

 

Here's the finished page.

 

 

And then I thought these wintery papers would go perfect with our family Frozen photo.

 

 

Perfect!!

 

I hope you've enjoyed this today and don't forget to check out my video here.

Thanks,
