Christmas Starts Here

We ended the year over at For the Love of Pretty Paper with a cybercrop to celebrate the group's fifth birthday. The admin team organised 18 challenges across New Year's Eve which is far too many for me to do them all, but gives me a wide variety to choose from.

I started with 'Musical Statues' which asked us to use a vertical design or vertical stripes, and picked December's single page sketch from Stick It Down to go with two photos from a Christmas party that we attend every year.

I like to use a traditional colour palette of red, green and gold for Christmas photos; for this page I mixed a variety of old and new papers from several different manufacturers.
