And so I think it's time for a creativity catch up.
Before Christmas I had to get three commissions done for The Scrapbook Magazine, which although the time was tight, was a great excuse to just sit down and make time for a bit of scrapping. Obviously, I can't share the layouts with you just yet, but here are a few sneak peeks.
On the positive side, I used up loads of stash that has been sitting around for ages (that feels good!) and also managed to incorporate a few bits of memorabilia from the month. I didn't worry much about colours and combinations, I just used whatever came in my hand so there is plenty of pink and red and green and blue which may not normally be put together - but hey, Christmas needs a bit of kitsch, doesn't it?!?
But it captures a slice of life which is what it's all about!
These were two hand-made tags that Liberty had put on our presents and I thoughts they were so gorgeous, I just had to use them as decoration.
This was one of the tags that Ginger had included in my Christmas card for the Nic H class Christmas card swap - when I opened up the envelope, it was stuffed full of gorgeous little hand-made tags - just such a lovely sweet surprise!
And proof that the Christmas crackers really did have paper hats that were worn! This was Christmas eve and yes, cocktails featured pretty heavily on the menu!
I didn't get around to doing any kind of 2010 round up so I think I will try to do this next week now that the dust of the holidays has settled. Watch this space!

I love your sneak peek! And your December Daily is simply gorgeous even though it is 7 inches thick!! I wouldn't call it a disaster - you did a great job and had a learning experience.
ReplyDeleteYour journal is gorgeous. My journal has grown too and have had to buy bigger book rings for it!!. I just can't resist putting lovely embellishments on it.

Love your album, and it's always a good idea to leave some fairy lights around the house...
