THIS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED - Winner announced in post #44.
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!...in July! "
I love this time of year! I know some people don't class this as a holiday or acknowledge it and yes, I know Christmas trees will be up in shopping malls all too soon for some in just a few short months but I think it is a great excuse to pull out last year's abundance of December pics (or the year before's, or the year before that...) and get some pages done for the album! I also gave up trying to think of unique Christmas page titles a few years ago so crank up some carols if it helps get you in the festive mood because here are my Christmas inspiration page steps for you:
Step 1: This is a multi-photo page so pick 2 or more photos from December of any year (you can duplicate one photo if you usually prefer to scrap a single photo per page and they do not need to be from Christmas day)
Step 2: Pick any Christmas carol/ holiday song to inspire your title - it can be the name of the song or a line from it. There is plenty of holiday wordart in the store that comes from traditional carols or you can use a font or journal card for your title - there are some less Christmas-y songs too "Let It Snow, Frosty the Snowman" etc if you want a more general December page. Here's a list of Carols for other ideas.
Step 3: Papers: Use at least one patterned paper - the rest is up to you!
Step 4: Elements: Include at least one star OR heart OR angel OR tree OR ornament/bauble - and add anything else you want! You can keep it minimal or you can go Christmas crazy!
Step 5: Add the date - just December and the year is fine for older, pre-digi photos if you are using them.
This is my page.
I started out inspired by the carol, Deck the Halls while picking photos and by the time I had photos in the template, it was beginning to look a lot like Christmas, so that inspired my kit choice and title.
I used parts of 2 kits with a template - A Lot Like Christmas by Bella Gypsy and Cottage Christmas by ForeverJoy with Winter Candy {Dressed Up} template by Fiddle Dee Dee
Need extra inspiration? Check out the Christmas in July 35% off sale on now
& includes the Christmas, winter and DYD (Document Your December) store categories! These are a few packs I found that are inspired by carols and have great title potential!
