Xmas 2017

This is fun! I love your "snow" in the back and the bow looks so touchable, like I could just pick it up and walk off with it!

@Serena i know it's so real! i love that bow - the foldy bit where you can tell it's a one-sided stripe design and how it doesn't look digi at all! it's a good one Renne! @ForeverJoy

What a fabulous Bellbird (wink) family Christmas page! So many gorgeous elements that look touch-ably real and so much fun.

@amandac yep you'd never guess how grinchy Mr Bellbird is from this timer photo! lol and well the superpotato book and plush probably needed an explanatory caption but i can imagine BigW didn't sell many of them, it could have been made only for her (and was not worth what i paid but i aim for a genuine smile every xmas and this present was bought knowing it would be the one so i sucked it up and bought it for this reason #lifestooshort #pricelessmoments #buythebook <- i know you can relate to that one ;-)

(And DS has a fishing rod if that's not obvious - he was stoked to have his own kid-sized one even if it was not the intended 'smile' present)

I TOTALLY understand that life is too short not to buy the book Justine
Aww what a special day ... you went to so much trouble! Gold stars for! I just chuck money at my kids haha (mind you they only really WANT money now!)

@amandac KWYM, DD is 13 today and it's not the same, knowing she's seeing taylor swift later in the year there was no big surprise or presents really- hopefully there's some smiles then - and i just have to re-scrap pics from past birthdays when i ultimately catch up (hope your ankle is better too!)

This is fantastic. You are so right about the FDD templates and clustering photos. Love the photos from your Christmas and love the realistic shadow work to make your elements stand out! Nice touch with the style on the template shapes, I'll have to remember that. Wonderful page! Thanks for playing along with my challenge!

You always have the BEST family photos!! I love the snow too!!!

@bbymks5 thank you
