Distressed Scrapper

Happy Thursday, everyone! I’m up on the Creative Embellishments blog with another Christmas layout to share. For this page, I decided to go with a pic of my youngest son, Christian opening his first Christmas present. The previous year, he was just 6 months old, so he didn’t open his own gifts. 😉

If you don’t know this about me already, I’m a huge Webster’s Pages fan and have horrible hoarding tendencies with their products…I’m avidly working on breaking that habit, so you’ll be seeing a lot of WP projects over the next few months. lol Anyway, I went with the oldest Christmas papers of theirs that I have and made them fresh and current with some FABULOUS Creative Embellishments chipboard pieces! I just love how easy they are to incorporate into any project and totally make my page come to life. 😀

For this layout, I was also inspired by the Monday Mojo sketch at Flying Unicorn. Here’s what I came up with:

Materials:

Creative Embellishments Spiral Tree
CE Handsome Frame
CE Christmas Bulbs
CE Fancy Xmas Bulbs
Star from the CE Flourish Tree 2
Webster’s Pages pp, wire floral, sparkler, tinsel trim
doily from my stash
acrylic paint
Distress Paint

The fantastic Flying Unicorn sketch by Alda that I worked with:

TFL!
