Christmas in July (Layout)

Inspired by all the Christmas in July challenges going on I decided to pull out my daughters 1st Christmas pictures and scrapbook them.

Here is my daughters first meeting with Santa.

I am really excited at how well this turned out. I knew I wanted to use the Night Before Christmas paper. Everything else just fell into place after that. After I got the picture, the word Santa, and the tag for journaling on, it still seemed flat to me, so I added the ribbon to "hold" the journaling tag, and cut some of the key words from a second piece of paper and mounted them on black and raised them with foam tape. That added just enough dimension to finish it off.

Bitten by the Bug 2 Plantin Schoolbook Cartridge RickRack challenge. This was perfect timing since I was working on a Thank you card (in a more masculine colored/theme) and the RickRack added the perfect touch to it.

Info: DCWV paper, Thank you stamp, button embellishments and the rickrack cut from the Plantin school book cart to to draw your eye across and 'anchor' the the Thankyous in the center so they wouldn't look like they were floating.
