25 Layouts of Christmas 2022 - Layout 2: Celebration of Life

How elegant is this layout design? This was a sketch shared by Close to My Heart and it has been one of my favorites.  I love how it showcases the square photos.  Of course, also, because they are a standard size, flip flaps can be added for additional photos or journaling. 

I created this layout for my daughter.  While it was a sad memory to document, I feel like it was something significant to her and defining moments for her, and wanted to preserve the moments for her in photographs.  She has gone back to these photos time and time again and so I am grateful that I opted to take photos of her quiet time at her grandpa's gravesite from a respectful distance.

Oh, Christmas Tree!

There is something about a Christmas tree!! I adore them - decorated or not!  This layout perfectly captured the shades and feel that I wanted to achieve.  I used textured cardstock, with ribbons and small strips of additional cardstock and glitter paper that all pulled together beautifully.  I really like the addition of the partial circles as they lend space for a title and for journaling without over-powering the photos.

Detail photos:

The circle is stamped with Pine & Sage Exclusive Ink Pads.  The stamp is an oldie-but goodie that I have cherished using over the years.

Green Dots accent the curvature of the glitter circles!  Love these! They are monochromatic so there are several shade possibilities!  They also include heart and stars along with the circles so that adds even more possibilities!

The glitter pieces in the various shades, paired with the ribbon (Juniper satin - retired) and the textured cardstock and the patterned paper pull together beautifully!

Supplies used:  (Z4631) Green Dots, (CC5223) Hope & Kindness cardstock, (Z4610) Pine Glitter Paper, (Z4611) Seabrook Glitter Paper, (retired) Juniper Satin Ribbon, Creative Basics cs.
