Merry Christmas by Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Seasons greetings,

What better way to get into the festivities of Christmas than using the Vintage Artistry Noel collection.

I love this Christmas collection – the 12 x 12 paper pack has 5 papers and 2 sheets of beautiful Christmas laser-cut shapes to make really great Christmas layouts – all in the traditional Christmas colours.
The base of the page in red is the paper called Painted Season. The paper Aquifolium has been trimmed down to 11″x11″ and distressed before adding to the Painted Season paper. I have then cut two matting pieces from cover of the collection (which is the gold/ochre colour) and a piece from the Tradition paper. From there I have layered pieces from the Vintage Artistry Shore Ephemera pack. The frames for the photos are from the laser-cut sheets.

I have used a mixture of flowers – Botanical Potpourri Bottle Green and Red flowers, and some from Blossoms Blends in red. This has then been layered together with the poinsettias, leaves, and pine cones from the laser-cut sheets. The pine cones have been rounded before adhering to the page.

The Santa feature in the top right corner is made using the Santa laser die from the laser sheet, with laser-cut poinsettias and leaves, and some flowers. Vintage Artistry rub-ons (which I love!) have added around the page to finish it off.

Wishing you and your family a joyous and festive Season.
