12 days of Christmas

Today I am sharing a non Christmas Christmas  layout that was up on the Heidi Swapp blog this week. I wanted to stay true to the colours in my boys shirts but also make it festive so I combined a little September Skies with a little Believe and I love the effect.
This layout is based on a  favourite photo of my boys I took when we were decorating our home for Christmas!

I added my journaling with my vintage typewriter!

I totally am in love with the large glitter chipboard alphas , they really make a statement.

This fun Christmas layout leads me to this fun event happening now over at  Papercut labs.
