Merry Christmas!!!! by Tammy Klingner

Merry Christmas Everyone!   Yes I have pre-written this a couple of days ago.....I'm really not that clever that I could fit  a blog post into this special day!    I genuinely hope that everyone has a lovely Christmas and gets to spend some time with the people they love.  There is such a big lead up to the big day, so much prepping and  planning (which I genuinely love), so I hope you can take the time to relax and enjoy the  precious moments of the day, and really feel the magic and truth of Christmas.   So, my share today had to be Christmas inspired right?  Of course! I got to play with the Fancy Pants Wish Season Collection, (this range is full of gorgeous  reds, teals, pinks and wood-grain teamed with script words, trees, deer and snowflakes)  LOVE IT!   This is what I came up with:  

  This layout is about one of my absolute favourite parts of Christmas.....the Carols.   I absolutely adore watching them on television and sing my heart out every year, much to my families dismay.  Ever since I was a little girl I have desperately wanted to be there.  This year and last year I went along to the Elder Park Carols in Adelaide!!! Just amazing! An absolute dream come true. I adored everything about it, and its one of those moments that I want to remember forever - so the best way I know to capture this moment is to scrap it.  

  I used lots of layers underneath my photo, and the die cuts within this range made it  easy to put together.   I also added some gorgeous chipboard snowflakes from 2 Crafty.  I applied white gesso to  them and then added a clear/white glitter.  They look amazing.  The photo doesn't do  them justice - they actually really look like snow in real life.  They give the layout  texture and sparkle.   Well lots to do, so I'll be back next week.   Merry Christmas and lots of love, magic and joy to you!   Products used: Fancy Pants Wish Season Ephemera Die Cuts  Fancy Pants Wish Season Flair Buttons Fancy Pants Wish Season Favorite Sweater Paper Fancy Pants Wish Season Holiday Stripes Paper Fancy Pants Wish Season - Season to Wish Paper Fancy Pants Wish Season Snowed In Paper 2 Crafty St Nick's Snowflakes Cocoa Vanilla Hello Lovely Sequins White Gesso Glitter Brads
