This is the 2nd page of an 8X8, 2-page layout that I put together for my "Journal Your Christmas 2011" album.
My picture is of a Santa Wine caddy, but what this layout is REALLY about is that small box at Santa’s feet. That simple white box contains the very best toffee I have ever eaten. We buy a one pound box each Christmas from a local woman and promptly eat every last crumb. It’s covered in chocolate and the toffee is light and not a “crown breaker”! I look forward to this candy each year.
The patterned paper is from the Jolly By Golly – an Echo Park 6X6 paper pad. I die cut my three embellishments using the Postage Stamp Nestabilities and then wrapped baker’s twine around them, topping them off with stockings and the #25, also cut from the same patterned paper.
I adhered the trimmed pieces using foam dimensional tape. I admit that this is not the most attractive layout that I have ever created, but I’m not trying to create major masterpieces…I’m just trying to journal things about this Christmas season. Putting too much stress on myself to create something fabulous defeats the whole purpose for me. This journal I’m creating is not meant to add “just one more thing on my to-do list”, but rather just document those things I want to remember. For me that means getting the thought down and not laboring over the details too much.
