Today's page was inspired by the Just Add Ink challenge #291 - Just Add C. I went with "Claus" as my inspiration word and picked out some pictures of my niece with her Santa Claus hat.
I had some new Christmas papers and matching die-cuts that I was itching to try, so I pulled out some pictures from last Christmas and a Project Life page protector and went to work. This one came together very easily and I really like the result. The pictures of my niece haming it up for the camera are pretty adorable, too.
Have a closer look at the upper right panel - I used the Boughs & Berries embossing folder on a piece of green patterned paper, to create a subtle vintage frame that matches the retro vibe of the papers and die-cuts. The embossing folders are the right size to emboss 4" x 6" panels, so they are perfect for Project Life pages. Keep in mind that the frame ones are particularly great to frame a journaling panel or a die-cut or stamped image. I just discovered one more use for this embossing folder aside from cards.
