"Season's Greetings"

By Amy Johnson

Photo sizes: (2) 3"w x 4"t, (1) 4"w x 6"t, (3) 4"w x 3"t

Instructions:

** (2) Pinecone (Bazzill Cardstock) are for the background

All of my pieces are inked using Burnt Copper & Pheasant Gold: Colorbox ink.

** (1) Home for the Holidays (Merry Christmas - Echo Park Paper): Trim (1) 5 1/4" x 11 1/2". This piece already has the bracket built into the paper, if your paper does not have a bracket you can create this same look by trimming your background piece the dimensions above & then from a light color, trim out a bracket piece smaller to overlap). 

Trim (1) 3" x 3" piece & (1) 3" x 4" piece to fill in around your photos - unless you have extra photos to use. 

** (2) French Vanilla (Bazzill Cardstock) are for the photo mattes. On page one, it is 6 1/4" x 9 1/4"; while on page two, it is 8" x 9 1/4". 

Add photos & title. I've used a chipboard title from Imaginisce: Polar Expressions. 

Add journalling as desired.

** (1) Jolly Stripe (Merry Christmas - Echo Park Paper): Trim (1) 3 1/2" x 11 1/2" strip; approx 1/2" from the left edge add a ribbon - or faux-ribbon - border.
My faux-ribbon border is made using my MYSTIK adhesive (wonderful product!!) and glitter from Art Glitter.

** (1) Holly Jolly (Merry Christmas - Echo Park Paper): Trim one row of circles and adhere alongside your glitter ribbon.

** (1)  Holly Berry (Merry Christmas - Echo Park Paper): Trim (2) 2" x 12" pieces and border punch the bottom. 

Adhere ribbon (I've also stapled using my Tim HOltz tiny attacher for added decor): tie in a knot on page two for decor. 

Trim (3) sets of holly leaves/berries to adhere on the layout as shown: mine are popdotted & inked. 

** (1) Merry Border Strip (Merry Christmas - Echo Park Paper): Trim (1) 3" x 7" - tear the bottom length uneven & pop dot over backet on page one. I have added a row of faux-stitching using my black copic journal pen.

Trim (1) bracket that is approx 2" x 9 1/2" for page two.
