This is SO cute, Marilyn!! I love those pictures and the title. The whole page is so nostalgic and special!!

fabulous '50s and sepia! this is nostalgc and modern with the clean edges and strips at the same time- i love all your snowflakes and rustic stars and i had never heard of this carol til i saw it on that list but i love that you used it and your title work is awesome-curious, did you already know it?

@bellbird Actually I never heard of it either. I looked at the lyrics and know that lines from the song wouldn't work, but the title was perfect! I actually wanted to use Xmas photos of DH in cowboy attire, but they weren't very good. So I went with pics of my older brother instead. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

no worries - i thought maybe it was an Aussie thing - not so many cowboy xmas songs here LOL

More wonderful vintage photos. How creative to use them with a Christmas theme. I appreciate your use of soft colors rather than the traditional brighter ones. Bet your brother and his family would love to have this printed and framed.

@flowersgal Hi Patsy, 99% of this came from the Paula Kesselring & Lynn Marie -Seasons Greetings Collab. It had a retro vibe to it as well as the softer colors. To get the background, I blended together the taupe solid along with a soft teal snowflake paper. Thanks for your kind comments. My DB is not married, but I will most definitely share this with him. I usually do a calendar for both of my brothers, showcasing some of the vintage family layouts I do every year.
