Wow! I have to say that I am so very pleased to be completing last years Christmas photos BEFORE this Christmas! Such a wonderful feeling! When my family (my side) gets together, we always have a great time.....and there are so many photos.... it's hard to just choose a few. Especially since we do so much -- Family photo, opening presents and games!
I wanted to highlight our family photo (and the photo with almost all our eyes closed too!). As you can tell we are a funny bunch! lol! I decided to use a template/layout I saw on the Sweet Shoppe Blog. Here's the photo:
Hmmm... ok, well....that's a puny photo, but you can definitely see that's what I used to create the first page - right?
It did take me quite a while to figure out what colors/papers to use. But I believe the ones I chose work great for the photos. One thing I want to share is how I created my background paper. The background, itself, is Real Red.... I added the Natural Composition Overlay in White, but brought the opacity down to 10%. <---See, creating your own DSP (Designer Series Paper) is a breeze!
Thanks for taking a peek!
