The Joys of Christmas

The 2nd Tuesday evening of the month is the time for capturing those cherished memories and yesterday was no exception.

I have not historically done a lot of scrapbooking, so my memory keeping is an evolving skill. I wanted to create a 12"x 12" page with some of my photographs from Christmas Day and using the, now retired, Merry Little Christmas Memories and More card pack.

A 12"x12" blank canvas can seem quite daunting, but by using a mixture of photographs and different sized cards, I was soon able to bring together a page I was happy with. The colour co-ordination has already been done for you. There is a selection of sentiments and journalling cards as well as cards I can cut up to create accents, like the little banners on this page. The addition of a couple of stickers from the accessories in the pack and a doodled line around the edge and the job is complete.
I love using these memory and more cards in the pockets, but it is good to be able to utilise them on a large page layout as well. This may be a Christmas page, but there is no reason it couldn't equally have been a baby page with the bundles of love collection, pictures of the garden with the petal gardens collection, or a wedding with the petal passion collection.
