Selfies for Six

Sometimes photos just can't wait to be scrapped; I finished this page within a couple of days of the photos being taken. A group of us went out for a meal last week, and took a few selfies afterwards. We weren't too good at getting us all in the frame, and we got a waiter to take another photo afterwards, but I like the selfies more than the posed shot as they have so much more character. 

I picked the 1st December sketch from Stuck?! Sketches for my page, rotated for landscape photos, and combined it with the second Advent challenge in the For the Love of Pretty Paper Facebook group. One of the admin there is opening a calendar envelope each day for six days and then we have to use five stash items and a specific technique on a page. Last  week the items were word stickers, puffy stickers, Project Life cards (or paper cut to PL card sizes), sequins and gold alphabet stickers, and the technique was stamping.

Close-Up of Sequins and Stamping

I picked a background paper with a pattern in opposite corners and added my stamping and sequins and a spattering of gold mist to the printed snowflakes. All the other papers came from a 6x6 pad - lots of strips plus two papers cut to 4x6 and 3x4 to substitute for the Project Life cards. I layered the larger pieces behind the photos with a couple of doilies and cut all the paper strips in two so that I could stretch them across the page with the photos covering the gaps.
