Merry & Bright

I am over on the Papermaze Blog today, sharing the second set of DT layouts I have made with the January Papermaze Kit. This time I extended my first layout over two pages to make a double, featuring Christmas.

Several photos of my grand-daughter at home on Christmas day, with her mum and dad. I had plenty of papers left over after the first page, so changed the orientation and with another sheet of white Bazzill, I made a second layout to include my favourite five photos of the day. 

Please see the Scrap Paper Scissors Blog to find out how the layouts were made.

Here is what I used from the January Kit:
49 and Market - Vicki Boutin - Mistletoe & Memories - Staples Paper 5
Echo Park - Snow Day - Cozy Plaid
Buttons Galore Sparklets - Starry Sky
Coconut Swirl & Jade Bazzill Basics Cardstock
