This is a very simply constructed Christmas Layout, using 12 small snapshot photos taken during a family christmas. Because a lot of these photos were snapped by other people, the quality of many was different from others. So I used a photo editing program to age all of them and give a softer filter.

The photos, tags and other elements were all raised off the page with foam tape, at various levels. Then the jolees christmas lights were wound in and out of the construction. Of importance here is that the actual tag, and circular old fasioned card elements are actually from a printed accent sheet designed by Jane Dean for the ScrapMagic monthly kits.

Supplies:

• Cardstock and papers (ie red crackle papers0 - Paper Adventures
• Jolees (EKSuccess)
• Printed accents - Jane Dean / Scrapmagic
• Gold thread
• Gold metalic leaf pen
• Fonts - Paris, Alfredo’s Dance
