Scrapbook Update

Here is the layout I created last weekend. That seems like forever ago, sorry for the delay. This is one of 4 Christmas layouts for the album. It is about the new Christmas decorations I created that year. Here are the stats: I dry embossed the red paper to look like berry clusters (goes with the journaling) and I gilded the stars with gold leaf and covered them with diamond glaze (again goes with the journaling). I used 2 gold metal frames I have had for ages, gold wire, gold brads, and instead of photo corners (can it be? No photo corners!) I used photo anchors after Alice and I saw some on another layout on Saturday. Oh, and letter stickers and rub-ons for the title. I am working on another Christmas layout for this weekend but it is slow going with the dreaded jury duty. Here are some close ups.

Did you make the ornament advent calendar? The stockings are cute. Did you make those? Dad and I should plan to come to NY one Christmas.

No, the calendar is one that Greg has had since he was little. I think his aunt made it. She is very crafty and is also the one who knits the stockings pictured. The whole Cruikshank family has the same stockings so I got one the first Christmas after our wedding.
