The Most JOYful Time Of The Year!

Hi there! Nathalie with you today to share with you a layout all about the most joyful time of the year, Christmas. The new Simple Stories [1]collections are so festive and joyous that it was hard to chose which one to use to document a picture of my littles (niece and nephew). Well, after much debating, I went for the new MERRY and BRIGHT [2] collection to create this page.

To build this page, I used a Paige Evans cut file to create the wreath base from the 4x6 Horizontal elements paper [2] and vellum, and then handstitched them to the Sn@p Basic [1] 12x12 Cream ledger paper.

Next the poinsettas were created using a cut file from Just Nick Studio from the It is a Wonderful Life paper [2] and another paper from the 6x8 paper pad [2]. To break some of the red, i used a paper from the High Style paper pad [1] to cut a few poinsettas, too

The flowers were built and glued onto the page. Then i used a Silhouette design to cut the ivy and pine leaves that are layered under the flowers from the Joy and Happiness paper. [2]

The picture was then added in the middle of the flower cluster, and then just a few embellishments from the chipboard, puffy and cardstock stickers were added around it. To finish the page, the title was created using a die cut piece from the Merry and Bright collection [2]along with a few more stickers. A few gold and white ink splatters complete this page.

Love how this turned out, and i am sure my sister will be framing this page as a Christmas decor piece for her home. I hope you are all inspired to check the new Merry and Bright collection [2] from Simple Stories [1], it is sure to help you record all your upcoming memories.
