December by Sharon Nettleship

I don't often make layouts but this months papers are just right for your Christmas memory layouts.

First of all I chose the Bazzil white card for the base and a paper that would be my main band across the layout. I cut a band of the Holliest & Jolliest paper and then strips from the Hello December & Wonder & Joy. I tore the strips to make a textured edge. I wanted to add a bit of gold to the edges so I used some gold wax.

These were then arranged onto the white base card.

I printed out my image and adhered it to the so very merry frame. I again added some gold wax and the make it merry which was in the Hello December page pieces.

I used mostly the page pieces for my embellishments but I did use the pointsetta paper to make 2 strips and gold waxed the edges. Each of the embellishments have little textures added. For the pointsetta and tree I have used glossy accents for the berries. On the presents I added a little bit of a clear glitter pen and finally for the documented piece I added some little enamel dots which come with the kit. I've also used a snowflake die cut in a gold card from my stash. I cut it in half and adhered each half to each side of the main image.
