December's Page Map...

...is courtesy of Designer Sharon Mozer:

...and here is my take on it:

I really loved the paper from the Christmas Mint line. Something about it reminds me of a quilt...

.

Anyway, I followed the pagemap pretty faithfully, but I did add one fun little element. If you look at the page map, you see there is a line around the edge of the page. I decided to make my line with glitter (Martha Stewart/Brownstone). It was very easy. I took 1/8" red line tape and laid it down about half an inch from the edge all the way around, then poured glitter on top. I applied a little pressure with my finger and tapped off the excess glitter - voila!

.

This layout actually was started and finished as a one page layout...but then I decided I had other pictures from that event I wanted to include. First I added a pull tag behind the right hand picture on the first page - if you pull it out, there are (2) pictures, back to back. The second page has 4 more pictures that you can see, plus (2) more hidden by the pull tag on that page. So that is a total of (10) pictures PLUS a journaling tag...I am pretty happy about that...I take LOTS of pictures!
