Day 11 - Trim the tree

So here we are, a bit of a different look this time round as I have unearthed the remaining Winter papers from Rhonna Farrer that I just loved! Wish she had more papers like this out as they are great backgrounds, not detracting from photos.

Anyway, yes, so the topic was the Christmas tree, and the pic is of my a mirrorball apple ornament on my silver tree - it just epitomises the bling of my silver tree... but it's not gaudy honestly! :oP

Journaling reads:

The first tree to get decorated in the house is without fail the silver tree in my Scrap Hovel. I've had it about 4 or so years now and the decorations it is laden with grow as the years go on… It's a small addiction it has to be said! But it’s anything but gaudy!

It is a most gorgeous tree by day and night. Lit up with my angel lights and it's own white and blue shimmering stars, decorated with various iridescent, pink, mint green, silver, lilac and frosty white/silver baubles, wire decorations, ribbons and beads - It has everything!

I had a bit of an accident with my stickles - for some reason they were sputtering out huge lumps of glitter rather than the usual soft look... oh bum... so a bit of AC ribbon came in quickly to hide the worst!

For once I had the perfect fonts in white in my rub-ons box - Heidi Swapp (some of the few letters that weren't mauled in the pack - shame as I love this font), American Crafts doo-dad from the white Jack UC set for "the" and American Crafts lulu font for "tree".

The addiction to cutting out little trees continues... hehe

Bit of bling and glam - there are dabs of glitter on the background baubles, but also the MM snowflake sticker is very bling!

And here's an example of how to cover up a boo-boo! Stamping gone wrong, so just cover it up!

Right well the gym beckons soon and I need to go sort a few things out as well as remove a feline from my gym bag - do not ask...

I love all the close ups, it's the next best thing to actually being able to stroke the page. I wish I could see your tree of gorgeousness!

Lol, I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one behind with the journal!

The Cherry Arte stamps really add to the page! Love it, such yummy papers :)
