Pink Paislee | Day 13

Hi everyone,  I hope that you have enjoyed following along so far with the Christmas Countdown series on the Pink Paislee blog.  I would like to share with you today, how I am documenting day 13 on our Christmas countdown.

I started my first page by creating a 3d star with my Silhouette. Then I added the cardstock jumbo numbers to the top.  I spelled out the word “Tree” at the bottom of my page using the jumbo cardstock alphabet.  I used my sewing machine to to stitch down my letters.  I added sequins and stars throughout my page. 

On my second page, I added a small black and white photo of our Christmas tree.  I thought it would be fun to add some die-cut Christmas trees to my page.  I cut them out with my Silhouette and then folded them down the middle and popped them up to create a fun accent to the bottom of my page. 

I added some sequins, ephemera and canvas stars.  I used my sewing machine to stitch a few of them down.  I love the color combo of the stars with the die-cut trees and the black and white photo. 

I finished up my page by using alpha stamps to spell out “the tree”.  I just love how it all comes together. 

December Album

Now that the holidays are over I have been working on my December album to document lots of photos and memories that I took during the month of December.   I created my album using Pink Paislee's Merry and Bright Canvas Album kit, cards, papers, ephemera and stickers.

Here is a peek of the front cover.  I kept it simple to really let the sequin star shine.

On page one I used photos of my sweet niece Olivia in front of the Christmas Tree.  I used a brush set from Ali Edwards and printed my photos in black and white.

For page two I used a photo of candles that adorned our Christmas table.  I added some sequins to the bottom right hand pocket, and lots of lovely ephemera pieces.

For page three I used an adorable photo of my nieces Miranda and Olivia in front of the Christmas tree.  I'm so lucky to have such cute subjects to scrap!  I added some Studio Calico wood veneer pieces to the top right hand corner of my page.  

On page four, I took a photo of our tree using a bokeh effect.  I love the look!  I added silver sequin stars to the bottom right hand pocket.

On page five, I used another photo of my sweet niece Olivia in front of the tree with her Santa hat on.  I added some ephemera pieces, thread and glitter stickers.

On page six, I used a photo I snapped of some Christmas ornaments.  I added some star sequins and wood veneer.

For page seven, I used a photo of my kids (Kalee and Matthew) with their cousin Miranda.  I added some wood veneer pieces, a canvas star, and a cute little bow from Pink Paislee.

Throughout the rest of the month I will be working on finishing up the rest of the album.  I will post the final pages here when I complete them.  

Thanks for looking!
