Right this has to be a quick update as I really need to go to bed!
Bit of a departure from the other pages, but I wanted to do a kind of idea-board look to this one. I picked up a few magazines last week, even before starting this class just because they looked nice. Well I spent tonight cutting out and trimming and moving the scraps about and finally stuck them down.
Added journaling strips, rub-ons and a button - and left that space for my Cherry Arte stamp once I get it! :oD
The recipe for a dream Christmas is quite simple really:
- Add a dashing of dazzling festive colour
- Mix with a hint of frosty winter sparkle
- Eat, drink and be merry
- Make just one someone happy
- Yuletide by the fireside
- Be forever a child at heart
- Keep tradition alive
So the photos:
Bit difficult to photograph with the glossy scraps! But I rather like that Noel for the mantelpiece.
And the lyrics to that song - just love them!
The rub-ons! I also love those fuchsia baubles hanging from ribbon - hate to think what the ceiling looks like if you've not got a chandelier to hand!
And the gorgeous candles from Laura Ashley and the place settings - don't you just love those snowflake napkin rings??
Right, I'd best scoot - not sure if I will manage an entry tomorrow night as I have the gym yadda yadda...
Thanks again for all those that have visited and commented, it's so sweet of you! :oD
GORGEOUS!!! Just love this. Enjoying your blog.

Latharia I totally forgot to reply to your question - Wintersong is fantastic! I am biased being a big Sarah fan but I've had playing a LOT and I love the versions of some traditional Carols but also the newer songs - especially River.
And thanks for all your comments, I feel the need to go and buy more mags now, just so I can cut them up! LOL
