Hi there, Aimee here! Hope you are having a wonderful Monday, lol. Today I’m sharing a layout using “December Dreams.”
While I was out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday, my husband and I drove around and found some fun places to take photos. We came across this half-decorated tree, and I was all, “husband STOP this is a perfect photo opp!”
So, with fashionable style we took photos with a half decorated tree with a tub full of ornaments behind us. I highly recommend learning how to use the timer on your camera and have a tripod handy. I took some pretty awesome photos this way.
Keeping it simple as always I used my go to 8.5 x 11 white cardstock for my base. I cut a piece of “Oh Christmas Tree” just smaller than my cardstock. I layered my photo on one of the A5 dashboards, and cut it down to mat my photo.
I used 3-d foam to pop my matted photo of the page. I fussed around with some die cuts and settled with the 3 snowflakes, the Nutcracker, Sugar Plum Fairy and of course the Christmas Tree.
I also used the printed strip at the bottom of the 12x12 sheet of “Oh Christmas Tree” to create the ribbon flag, and layered it with the “joy” flair.
Of course, I stamped my layout with the date the photo was taken {Date roller stamp from Heidi Swapp}.
And to take my layout to the next level I add sparkles to my die cuts. I dug into my old supplies and pulled my box of Stickles, I haven’t used these in ages. I love this extra sparkly touch!
I love this silly photo of my husband and I. Do you every stop at random places to take photos? Thanks for stopping by the blog today!
XOXO Aimee
