CRAZY FOR CHRISTMAS: MEMORY KEEPING

Hello ‘Fetti Fans and welcome to the third and final day of CRAZY FOR CHRISTMAS!

Today is all about MEMORY KEEPING. It’s not just scrapbook pages, but rather much more than that to get you inspired to create with your holiday photos. You’ll find a full list of the Confetti Crew members posting today toward the end of this post.

As you know, I am a self-described “un-scrapbooker.” This comes doing one scrapbook, my wedding album, and thinking that I needed much more instant gratification. In short, that is how I got into card making. However, I still love to play around with photos of my family and friends and create with them. So, what’s an “un-scrapbooker” to do when they want to create with photos?

This…

If the first thing that you are noticing is that there are no pictures, you’re right (LOL!). I’ll be adding pictures from this year to this creation.

Basically, it’s a scrapbook layout with out the actual scrapBOOK. Instead, I have added it to a frame that I picked up at my local Michaels. I usually buy a few of these at a time so that I can have them on hand for my “un-scrapbooking.”

The two kraft panels are cut from the WOODGRAIN Confetti Cuts die. While I will be adding pictures over these, I will leave the edges showing so that it appears as a wood frame…

The word “merry” is cut from the WINTER WORDS Confetti Cuts die set and mounted on a piece of white cardstock. The scalloped polka dot edge is cut from our DOUBLE EDGE SCALLOP BORDER Confetti Cuts die. I did not completely adhere the border, as I curled the edges up for a little bit of detail and dimension.

Above the (to be) pictures is a wreath cut twice from the large wreath in the WREATHS Confetti Cuts die set and is adorned with a heart from the LOVE NOTE Confetti Cuts die set. To top it all off, I embellished with a button tied off with CAPPUCCINO TWINE and jingle bells. The wreath is only adhered to the project at the top so that I may easily add pictures…
