Loved Always - Seeking some Christmas Cheer.

Hello, Leonie with you today.  

How are your Christmas preparations going? I'm in denial I think,
so much so that I'm not even scrapping Christmas photos, which I usually do by this time of the year.
I figure if I just go on my merry way scrapping everyday photos,
Christmas will arrive and I'll magically be prepared

 - errr probably not! 

But I'm not quite in the Christmas spirit yet so I'm sharing an everyday page today.  

I've used the Maggie Holmes Gather and Chasing Dreams collections.

I've created with these before, Here and Here.

I liked the cut apart paper 'Adventure' in the 'Chasing Dreams' range so I used 3 of these

to form a random matt under my photo along with a doiley.

The Garden Club paper also caught my eye so I used a wide strip of that as well.

The Chipboard elements on my page are from the Gather Thicker Accents pack

and I love the glitter on some of them, so Loved Always became my title for this page. 

The background colour is some watered down Distress Oxide- Cracked Pistachio re-inker
and I used my favourite gold spray Heidi Swapp's Gold Lame Color Shine to add some splats at the end.

How sweet are those paper bows? They're from the Gather Embellishment pack.

Thanks for stopping by today, I'm off to see if I can find some of that 

Christmas Spirit somewhere ;)

Remember to play along with our Christmas challenge to have a chance at a brand new WRMK Sewing Machine under your tree!!

Entries due by midnight Sunday!

Cheers

Leonie Neal-Dawson
