I can think of nothing more delightful than experiencing Christmas with hearts full of joy.
When I began to scrap this photo of Mary Catherine on Christmas Eve in 2007, JOY is the first word that came to mind. She was a joyous little girl and Christmas brought her joy out even more.
I created this layout using a template by Fiddlee Dee Designs and Merry Storyteller Add-on kit by Just Jaimee.
With the template I took out some of the paint elements and added a mat behind the photo to help it stand out a bit more.
I started out with a patterned background paper, but changed my mind and went with a textured white background paper, adding just a touch of paint behind the photo.
I added alphas from the Merry Kit for the title along with the “Christmas” vellum. I finished off the page by adding the three ornaments, also in vellum.
I wasn’t scrapbooking as much when my kids were this small, but I love going back and scrapping these memories. It helps me to enjoy this season and remember our blessings from past Christmas seasons.
