Documenting the Festive Season with Cozy & Bright!

Hi Pebbles Friends!

Welcome back for more Christmas inspiration!

Amanda here, & this week’s theme post is all about documenting a Christmas Tradition in your ‘home’ country. For those of you who don’t know, I’m an Aussie girl and spend most of my days at the beach! And Christmas is no exception! But before we get to the big day, we have quite a few traditions that we like to participate in. The festive season doesn’t officially start for us until the Christmas Pageant (think Christmas Parade ) has occurred. So, for today’s post, I am documenting my children participating in the Christmas Pageant. Yay!

Here’s my layout…..

“Pageant Day”

Isn’t this the sweetest?! Such a bright, happy & adorable page! So.much.fun!

Best part? It’s super simple and easy to recreate – here’s how….

Start by trimming the reverse side of pattern paper Tis The Season (candy cane stripes) on an angle. I made my paper strip 3″ at the widest end and 2″ at the shortest point. Attach to the top of the white cardstock background. Repeat this process, but this time use the candy canes pattern of Tis The Season, and reduce all measurements by one inch. Layer over the top of the stripes paper & glue into place (as shown above).

Take your square photograph, and tuck a Cozy & Bright Tag beneath it. Add a a few layers of torn white tissue wrap to the back of the tag. This torn paper adds both dimension and interest to the photo cluster.
