We have Dale Tiernans submission next.......

Oh Xmas Tree


Hi Shazza,

Here is my layout for December. It was a very inspiring poster. I immediately took inspiration from the Christmas tree. I have made a half a Christmas tree using a square punch. I've added a star at the top (also half) like the poster and added little stars along the side of the tree, again like the poster. The poster had a green base under the tree and I have included one in my layout also.
The base is white cardstock as per the criteria and I have a green and red title. I like that it all turned out crisp and clean. I think having a white background helped that a lot.
I've included two tiny Christmas hats in my journalling and in fact made the journalling all about the hats.
Aren't these stunning street decorations for Christmas?

  3. You don't think of purple as a Christmas colour but it really works here - well done.
