We did a TITLE challenge over on our FB page were I gave a Title and the layout was up to you to match the Title. Since it was still the Christmas season (everyone scrapping their Christmas photos from December), I chose to do this one for number 6 of my 365 Challenge for 2019.
I have really been loving the non-traditional Christmas colors that everyone is doing this year! I can't get enough of them! So I found some awesome papers from Lawn Fawn over at A Cherry On Top (love them)! Every paper in this pad is amazing! I used 3 sheets, cutting the Christmas trees out of one and using scrap for a tearing technique. The black tree that I journaled on was also cut from my Big Shot using the stencil I bought from Hobby Lobby. I love these trees! I also fussy cut the tree ornaments from one of the sheets from this pad. I used red twine and used glass beads the same shade of blue as the paper for some added sparkle.
For the "snow" effect I used some white holographic gems from Ink Road Stamps (click here and shop for a 15% discount!).
Now for the first and only lesson on this layout, the fussy cut Santa. That actually came from a pad of paper I had laying around the house that I fussy cut and made into a stamp with my X-yron stamp maker! So, Lesson #1, just because you didn't buy it from the store in the Scrapbook Isle doesn't mean it won't work! Use what you got and save some money!
I also used an old Christmas brad I from my stash and finally, the Title. I love this font and believe I found it at Hobby Lobby as well.
This layout out was fun to make! It was a very old photo that brought back some really awesome memories and I got to use it with my new favorite Christmas colors!
Well there you have it, #6 of my 365 day layout challenge that I'm doing in 2019. I hope you liked it and thanks for following me on this challenge. I will always try to link up to the items I've used so that if you like something you can find it (and if I can get a discount for you I will link that up too)!
Please come join us on our FB page so you can share all of your layouts and projects, we would love to see them, We are Scrapbooking For Newbies but we have some experts on our page as well to give us pointers and show some new techniques off! We keep it a closed group so if you are working on a special album for someone they won't be able to see your work until you are ready to give it to them! Or come follow me on IG, there are always challenges, giveaways and fun techniques to discover!
As always, Happy Scrapping🤗
