Christmas??? in August - I know weird but thats all my baby girl talks about lately! Well, since her big sis (pictured in the lo! A long time ago) left for college. You see, baby girl knows that Christmas is the next time she will see her big sis and she misses her very much - in spite of the daily phone calls! lol!
So I guess it isn't so weird that I would post a Christmas lo in August..right?
This is a close up of the journaling...
These are my oldest kids, who are now 18 and 16!
It's amazing how quickly they grow!
The papers are Ta Da Creative Studios . The shape of the paper and Acrylic overlay is my favorite shape at Clear Scraps It is called the XL Deco and it comes in a two pack. This pic is really old so I wanted to protect it, the acrylic covers the base paper and the picture - the embellishments and title lay on top.
Here you can see the envelope closed with some quilling...speaking of which, has anybody seen my tool?
I haven't seen it in weeks and it is driving me crazy because I really like quilling!
The bling is Prima, the stamps Ta Da Creative, the chipboard is We Are Memory Keepers.

The ink is Dew Drops. If you are trying to figure out how to attach acrylic try Glue Dots. I just put them in random places that I know I will be covering later (with flowers or whatever); they work great!

What acute layout!
I love this! I can't believe how fast they have grown.
This is gorgeous, it is hard to believe you have such older children, you look much younger, but then I realise I am 42 and old enough to have kids the age of yours too, but instead have a 3 year old. wow reality check. The detail in this beautiful layout is really amazing, your attention to every little area is brilliant, the quilling, love the journalling and the papers rock. Love to you, Melxx
What a Beautiful picture!!!!!!!!!!! I love what you did!!!!!
