Christmas 2019

No-one here likes me taking photos of them in Christmas Day, so last year we compromised on one posed family photo for the scrapbook. Sadly, none of the pictures we took were very good, so I decided to add some interest by cropping each of us separately from the best photo, matting them, and then overlapping the pieces to put the picture together again.

Laura's Sketch

The rest of the design was inspired by a sketch from Laura Rumble for For the Love of Pretty Paper, with the large word across the page.

I wanted a lighter paper behind the photos as they are quite dark, and then a large pattern for the background as so much of it would be on show. These two patterns are actually both sides of the same paper; I carefully cut out an oblong, matted it on red cardstock and then stuck it back over the hole. There is also a piece of scrap paper on the back for stability.
