How are all your Christmas preparations going? I had a bit of a fight with a falling Christmas tree earlier this week!
Every year I try to make a December Daily journal to record all of the Christmas mishaps and preparations.
I created the background with watercolours, I added some Iridescent Medium to them. I cut the beautiful swan from a Christmas card! I used the trees from the Indigoblu Winterland Wood stamp set on the cover, and the deers and trees on the tags which I popped into a pocket on the inside cover.
The inside pocket is made from Kaisercrafts Christmas Wishes range. I used glossy accents on the top edge of the pocket and let It drip down to make icicles and then shook lashings of white glitter over it!
I tied on blue, pink, and white organza ribbons to the tags.
The 8x8 scrapbook is from Hobbycraft.
Thank you so much for visiting, I hope all your Christmas preparations are going well!

What a wonderful little journal Jannet. The Swan looks so serene and I love your background colours. My December mishap was trimming up the Christmas tree and then the lights started flicker and make a crackling noise. I then had to take everything off again and buy a new set of lights. It's a good job that we only have a small tree! Going back to your journal, I really like what you've done with the inner cover too, the tags look fabulous.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a journal and I love your beautiful swan surrounded by the pinks and blues on your page. Simple but beautiful. I, too, might have to steal that icicle idea of yours because it turned out great!
