Another Christmas Card Layout

I was so happy to finally finish up my second layout using the last of my christmas photo cards from 2010.  Also a very big thank you to my friend Carla for teaching me how to scan my layouts.  I need more practice as you can see but I think they came out pretty good for the first try.

 
I have really been enjoying using my silhouette with my latest projects. 

 This first page I used the silhouette and cut out the intricate Christmas tree design and I really like how it came out.  I think I am going to start an album just for my Christmas card layouts and I intend to add to it each year from here on out.  Thanks again to Nichol for this wonderful idea!
 
The second page I kept pretty simple just lined up all the photo's I still had from friends and family. I had a little space where another photo could have gone but since I didn't have another photo I put flowers there instead and I like how it came out. Just like my last layout I chose to put the names of everyone on the back of the layout.

Most of the products used on this layout are from Making Memories but I also used products from Papertrey Ink (bakers twine), Silhouette (Christmas tree) and Tim Holtz (tiny staples).

Until Next Time!

Christmas Card Layout

Here is the first layout that I made using my 2010 Christmas photo cards.  I love getting photo cards and seeing how everyone changes from year to year, I think it's my favorite part of Christmas.  I got the idea of cutting the pictures off the cards and turning them into a layout from the talented Nichol Magourik. Sorry for the not so great photo's of the layout I really need to find a better way to photograph them.  The colors seem too washed out but I promise you the colors are much richer in real life.  If you sent me a photo card and your not pictured on here don't worry I still have another layout to complete with the remaining photo's.

 
I decided to add the names of everyone on the back side of my layout because I liked it just the way it was.  I used my silhouette to cut out the words and numbers "Christmas cards 2010".  I got the word Christmas and the 2010 from this Kerri Bradford kit. I really love my silhouette and how easy it is to use.
