Hello, Karen here. Are you ready for Christmas, or are you like me - frantically dashing about trying to get those last-minute things done?
Despite the chaos of the season, I have managed to squeeze in some scrapping time and today I have another layout to share with you, using the gorgeous Christmas Junque collection from Photoplay.
I began the layout with a sheet of the Unwrap the Magic paper (B side). I trimmed the paper down slightly, rounded the corners and then matted it onto a sheet of red Bazzill cardstock from the Matchmaker Pack, making sure to leave a narrow border around the edges. Before gluing the patterned paper down, I gutted the middle of the red cardstock so I still had the rest of the sheet available to use.
Using the remaining red cardstock, I cut a bauble shape using my Silhouette machine. I combined two different cut files from the Silhouette Store, 'bauble flourish drop corner' and 'bauble frame' but manipulated and welded the two files together before cutting them. I then backed the cut file with patterned papers from the collection and two photos.
I also used some gold mirror card to back the tops of the baubles. The backed cut file was glued flat to the layout.
Thin green ribbon bows were used to embellish the baubles and add some texture.
Some phrase strips and small images were cut from the Collage Cut Out Sheets and added.
On the left side of the layout there was a convenient space to add a word plaque from the Collage Sheets.
I positioned the title at the bottom of the layout, which I cut using the Silhouette from more gold mirror card. I always like to add a touch of gold to my Christmas project. I think it really gives a layout that perfect festive sparkle!
Finally, I added the date in the bottom left corner and a scattering of green sequins at the top.
I hope you have a lovely Christmas and that you take lots of photos to capture those special memories and I'll be back again in the New Year with more scrappy inspiration to share.
Take Care
