Christmas Party

Another Christmas layout, and this one is a double page spread. Click to enlarge...



Our final theme for 2014 at Lasting Memories is 'Anything Goes' with a holiday twist.   A nice easy challenge to end the year ~ great timing too, considering so many of us are occupied with other goings-on at this time of year and may not get a lot of scrappy time.

This is my final DT reveal for Lasting Memories.  I have decided to step down from the design team to make room for some new adventures in 2015.  I am grateful for the wonderful opportunity I was given to share my layouts with a wider audience of scrapbookers throughout the year  After such a long break from scrapbooking, it was just the motivation I needed to jump back in with both feet!  I enjoyed getting to know some of the other designers, and I hope that some of my creations have inspired others to get scrapping too. 

It's been a few months since I joined in at Jot magazine for the mood board challenge.  I really loved the current one; I was especially inspired by the warm, neutral colour palette.

I knew straight away that I wanted to use a kraft background, and I toned down the saturation of my photographs to keep with the theme too.  I liked the idea of using a wide ribbon, and I also made my own holly embellishment:



I'm also submitting at Unstampabelles for their Summer Fun challenge.  I done half a twist too ~ Southern Hemisphere Christmas CARD.   For us, summer and Christmas go hand in hand, and many of our Christmas events are at the beach, or the pool, or the creek... anywhere to keep cool!
