Did you know??

……that there is 30 sleeps, 10 hours, 10 minutes & ?? seconds until Christmas.

Wow! has this year gone by fast or what??

Well, today I hope I can help get you into the Christmas spirit, by sharing a cute page that is full of Christmas joy. But first in honor of it being Tasty Tuesday (& the fact that I got my page themes mixed up :o )  Here is frame I did as part of my Christmas home decor. I love that almost every store I go into right now, has these delish little candy canes for sale at the till points and I can never resist grabbing a couple every time I go shopping. I think the smell of peppermint candy will forever remind me of Christmas!!

I have loved the spread of the Mistletoe collection that has been all over my scrap table for the last while. The papers & embellishments have such a feel-good vibe about them, that they were calling to be loved into a scrap page for my parents. This is the result.

Before I get started, please enjoy this basic Spray mist tutorial  I put together using a decorative plastic spray template. Notice the box I use to spray into? I kept one of my UPS 12″x12″ boxes to spray into. I find it easily  catches all the extra mist & is portable, depending on where i am scrapping in the house :o )

Using a  piece of Cupid-Love Potion patterned paper, I created a custom background with the help of my mist & templates . I chose star shapes to compliment my page theme, keeping them off center to the left leaving space for my other papers & embellishments. Then using the Mistletoe & Co collection, I layered press onspunch-outsborder linespost cardsexpressions glitter alphas together with a collection of the patterned papers to put this page together.

The addition of a pretty ribbon tie, gathered cotton lace & paper flower finished the page off nicely as wall art for my parents who live in the UK & won’t get to spend Christmas with us this year.

I hope this page has inspired you to get ready for some of your fave Christmas shots. Thanks for stopping by & make sure to upload your projects into the community gallery for everyone to enjoy.

Have a super day!
