Christmas in April

There's a fun challenge at Scrap Challenge Yourself this month:

 

After looking at the gorgeous DT layouts, I assume that is the American meaning of 'holiday' i.e. 'annual celebration/observation' such as Easter/Christmas/Halloween etc {and not the English meaning of 'holiday' i.e. vacation/time off}.

For me... it's definitely Christmas, and it's always a very low-key and casual affair.  Last year I made a special effort to get myself in a photograph (!)


Materials
Bazzill Basics Classics - Crimson cardstock
Basic Grey Infuse - Inspire patterned paper
My Mind's Eye My Girl - Bouquet patterned paper
Fancy Pants spiral journal page
Prima Raffia - Calatheas flower
American Crafts Thickers - Daiquiri foam alphabets
Ribbon scraps
Mini ric rac
Floral trim

I'm also joining in at:

* Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper ~ Anything Goes
As always, I love delving into my stash of patterned paper.

Thank you for visiting my blog!
