I realize that this page is overflowing with info but I wanted to do a sort of December Daily idea. This is from 3 Christmas' ago so I didn't have all the info. I sewed a grid on the page and then filled up the boxes. The snowflakes were a bit of an accident. I punched some snowflakes then misted them with silver and while they were still wet I sprinkled on some clear embossing powder. While I was heat gunning them some of them got a bit crispy on the edges. I totally love the look because it matches the tan in the paper.
This is my quilt page. I just cut up my pictures and then pieced them all together. I know it doesn't follow some design rules but it was fun.
This paper is from We R Memory Keepers and it is called MERRY January. I got to use the papers: Mitten, Branch, Slush, & Crisp. I also used the layered Chipboard self adhesive words. These words are solid. If you stick them down that is were they are going to be. I know I rave about all the paper I get to use but I can't help myself. I had eyed this paper in the store earlier. It is beautiful paper. I love the colors. I know it is called MERRY January but I used it for some Christmas photos. I also used the clear journal stamp that is in the same line.

HA! I love your "crispy" snowflakes and that they totally work for your page! :)
I also love your non-traditional page w/ all the journaling. You showed us a great way to include important stories-- an element often left out. Incredible work, Leah!
I should have written this earlier when I first saw the lay-outs. They are awsome! When I came into the store Shawna gave an excited giggle and rushed me over to see your display. My eyes were in heaven, we felt like two little girls feasting on a wonderful treat. It was better than Icecream. I Loved the way you journalled in song titles and used all your own handwriting. It was full but not busy. Great Job!
