Oh What Fun! - Crafty Christmas Layout

I'm over on the Papermaze blog today, with a little extra post for Christmas. I purchased a selection of Doodlebug Designs - Oh What Fun! papers and embellishments when I attended the Papermaze Christmas crop last week. I wanted to capture some of Florence's Christmas adventures this season.

The layout shows an afternoon with Florence, making Christmas cards, we cut her a star and a tree from a sweet potato - we didn't have a potato handy! With poster paint, glue, pom-poms and stickers, she had a lovely time with a little help from Mummy and Nana!

I decided to use a double page layout sketch from Pagemaps (June 2024).

I used:
Doodlebug Designs Inc. - Oh What Fun! - Deck The Halls, Merry Magic & Festive Flannel 
Doodlebug Designs Inc. - Oh What Fun! - This & That Cardstock Stickers 
Doodlebug Designs Inc. - Cute & Crafty - Chit Chat
Doodlebug Designs Inc. Alphabet Soup - Bubblegum, Bumblebee & Blue Jean 
Distress Inks - Candied Apple, Mowed Lawn & Mustard Seed
Smooth white Bazzill 
Gold enamel dots

With the two sheets of cardstock and the Distress Inks, I splattered watered down ink over the cardstock. I inked all my papers with more of the Candied Apple Distress Ink.

I cut the Deck The Halls paper into two pieces 6" x 12", these were placed 3" down from the top of the cardstock on both sheets of cardstock.

From the top of the Festive Flannel paper (avoiding the 24 icons), I cut two strips 10" x 1". These were placed above the previous papers. Then I topped this with one of the scalloped 12" stickers (cut in two), from the This and That sticker sheet. I cut a smaller scalloped sticker and placed it beneath the paper. 

I cut the 'Christmas Memories' piece from the Merry Magic paper, and placed it vertically on the left page. 

My photos were mounted onto some white card and arranged in place. I added details to my journalling spot and the date at the bottom with the Alphabet Soup stickers. 

I selected more stickers from the sticker sheet adding hearts, stars, a few phrases and the large 'Merry Christmas' sticker to the layout. 

From a pack of Chit Chat, I selected two words to use as a title and sub title. Then I embellished with gold enamel dots from my stash. 

Thanks for looking
Merry Christmas
