Perhaps Christmas is a little bit more ~ Off the Rails scrapbooking

Hello ! I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas , it is a bit of a crazy time of year , but I hope you got to spend it with those near and dear.
I managed to sneak a layout in last night and finished it off today. I did this for the challenge at Off the rails scrapbooking . 

I originally was going to turn my photo to black and white and do the mauve/blue/gold palette.

But.....

They all obligingly were wearing Christmas Colours, so the layout ended up going the way of the second colour palette.

The birds I have fussy cut from some lovely vintage Christmas paper . Lovely flair and December 2014 laser cut from StudioFourteen40 , they have gorgeous new Christmas Ranges and a Christmas kit , perfect to document your Christmas pages , PL, or Christmas mini album. The Reindeer chippy is from Scrapmatts, I LOVE reindeer's, I added a bit of kindy glitz to give it some Christmas sparkle. I think Lizzy may have given me the chippy stars ? I have Tucked some journalling in the top of the photo saying that I think Jedd may be getting to big for this tradition of being lifted up to place the angel of the top of the tree.

Some washi tape from Craftqueen, yes reindeer's again. I have also used a bit of watercolour paint and some texture paste and a mask.

Thank you for calling by. Wishing you all everything good for the New Year.

Love , Peace and Happiness
