Hi, it’s Cara here today! I hope you are having a wonderful, festive December so far. I recently went to London and the Christmas decorations were incredible! I've never seen anything like it, I was amazed by the attention to detail and a surprise was waiting for me around every corner. I wanted my layout to showcase how beautiful it all was. The Winter Farmhouse collection not only matched my favourite London photos, but really highlighted them and made my photos stand out. I chose festive papers with a Christmas feel and I love how it all turned out. 

With so many lovely papers to choose from, I decided to go with lots of layers so that I could use as many of them as possible. I used the golden floral paper aptly named Warm and Cosy as my main background because it drew out the gold tones of the lights and decorations in my photos. I love having a peek of pattern at the edges of my pages, so I trimmed down the yellow paper to let a bit of the dark Falling Snow paper show on two sides.

Hello Winter and the backside of the 4x6 elements paper matted my photos and I used both sides of Feeling Frosty for the backdrop for the title. 

Little label die cuts from the Journal Bits and Pieces were the perfect spots to add the locations of each photo and a larger label was the perfect size for my journaling. 

I sprinkled a mix of stickers, die cuts, and cardstock stickers around the page as embellishments and then I topped the whole thing off with some gems and glitter. 

Have you scrapbooked the Christmas lights in your town yet? What other festive decorations have you scrapped?
