Today I am up at the A2Z Scraplets blog and seeing we are on the count down now to Christmas I have created , surprise, surprise , a Christmas layout :)
Trimming the Tree
I have use the lovely Wordlet Chipboard "Trimming the Tree " as my title. I threw everything on it , Gesso, Glitter glue, red Paint and Gold Colour Paste. It ended up looking a bit like tinsel :)
I also used the large star and embossed it in Gold.
I am using up really old Papers , which is always a good feeling as well. The little angels were sent to me by my Lovely Pen friend from Dublin and I have added little gold and green gems on the tree as well.
Another thing I am trying to do is use my stamps more. I have weakness when it comes to buying them, but I don't utilize them enough. So I got the large Christmas text stamp out and embossed it in gold and placed my photo over the top. I have also added a stamp above the star and along the base of my layout.
I think being on the DT for A2Z scraplets is making use embossing more. I think I just didn't do it much because I never seem to be able to use it without it getting everywhere, like fairy dust in my craft room afterward. And the girls that do tutorials always do it so effortlessly . Anyway I digress.
Thank You for calling by and I hope the lead up to Christmas this week is not too hectic for you.
Love, Peace and Kindness

The embossing on both your chippies and your page look wonderful. I find once I do it I love it, but I'm lazy and can't be bothered getting out those stamps, half the time. Shame on me......& good on you! I really like how you've 'decorated' the tree on the pp here, too....& the title looks amazing. Bet you can't do that again, LOL!!!
This looks wonderful Mary, and I love the embossing on the back ground, and your title looks amazing!! and yes.. the count down to Christmas surely has begun!
