Happy holidays

Part of our holiday traditions each year is to have our portrait taken and then order a large print as a family gift. We've been doing this for quite a while now and I'm kind of starting to run out of wall space. This year the photo was rich in color due to the dresses the girls were wearing; the Princess wore a gold gown and Little Miss had a dark purple and black velvet gown...

The papers from the December I Am A Scrapaholic kit had the same rich tone to them, so I knew immediately that I would be able to scrap this photo from this year right away. Aren't these Graphic 45 papers wonderful...even the title letters are cut from a sheet of the paper.



I included the embossed tree from our holiday cards onto the layout; added some pearl trim using Helmar 450 glue (this is fabulous as it dries slow enough to allow you to move the trim into position and dries totally clear), and the beautiful Prima flower that looks like it was made for this paper!

I hope you are enjoying this magical holiday season...
Happy crafting...Lynda
