Christmas Journal - December 9th

Evening all!

Well, here I am with today's prompt - and it has been one of the pages in this album I've been most looking forward to finishing...

I opened up my pack of Basic Grey journaling overlay sheets and it covered almost the whole page, so thankfully the photo for today has fit in it quite nicely...

A bit difficult to photograph without glarey reflections of me trying to snap the photo... but I think it has turned out quite nice considering.

So on the topic of traditions, it has become a serious tradition for me to add to my bauble collection each year. At least one bauble needs to be purchased... however, this was not a problem this year as about a dozen plus baubles were acquired (and have since found a festive new home) when I was out shopping with my partner in bauble acquisition crime, my mother. It was just too difficult to leave these beautiful new additions sitting there on the shelves waiting for a new owner... much better that they end up on my tree and mantelpiece...

It's a bit difficult to see in the pic that the background under the overlay for the houses is frosty glittery cardstock - I also used some co-ordinating Eskimo Kisses dimensional stickers and a KI glittery snowflake.

All in all, I'm rather happy with how this one turned out. :o) But my little Paperchase binder is getting rather full - and it's only the 9th!

Something tells me that by the end of this album there will be some giant book rings making an appearance to hold it all together.

Oooh pretty! I have to buy at least one new one each year too and so does my daughter. A tradition for us too.
Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog. Have a lovely weekend xx

Nat - you should have had a journal for each day - you'll never get everything into one binder! and those cupcakes with the melting marshmallows look fab - I could just eat one even though its breakfast time! Mary x
