Merry and bright

I scrapped a simple pocket page today, to get started on some of our Christmas photographs:



The design of my page was inspired by a few different challenges:

* Archi-Scraps ~ Use SPOTS.   I love using spots and polka dots, and I have a huge collection of spotty papers and other embellishments.  It was fun to find the right combination for this page, and I particularly liked the large spots with the stars on them.

* My Mind's Eye ~ Add a shaker element.  This is something I haven't done on a layout before, and I thought it would suit a pocket page very well.  I used gold sequins and stars, and I secured the top of the page with a folded strip of scalloped paper and washi tape:



I used products from four different MME collections ~ Boy Crazy, Breaking Free, Collectable and Jubilee.

* Simon Says Monday ~ We can see clearly.  Pocket pages are transparent...
