I really like the wire too! It ties in so nicely with the santa's lap sign. I would suggest maybe a tag or two in the bottom left corner, telling what she talked to santa about. This is a beautiful layout! The wire trees are just adorable and I really like the pattern paper you used! Too cute!
I love the wire-work! I always try something, and it never turns out. So if you ever need a bunch of wire-mis-fits, let me know! :) I think it needs something...maybe journaling or some kind of cardstock behind the wire-work to make it pop out more. Or use the same purple on the background of the pictures, for a background of the whole page? I like the purple, how it ties to the clothes! And I am still very impressed with that wiring!!
I used a jiggy for the tree; the letters are hand formed. I'll check the gauge of the wire and let you know - it isn't all that thick though. Sometimes I use the same color wire to clip it to the page - this time I used MM metal glue.
I agree your wire work is AMAZING! that's tough stuff...I think matting the "ho ho ho" with a solid strip of cardstock down the left side might make is "pop" a bit more... great job!
Great wire work. I have not yet got the courage to try that. I also like the background. I think it needs something more. Ribbons or a journal box maybe?
How in the world do you do the wire like that? I rarely use wire because it's so difficult for me. Do you use the thin/thick wire? Do you bend it by hand or do you use a tool? And how do you adhere the wire to the page? It looks great! I also really like the embellished tag...very cute! Hmmm...have you thought about making a really big mat-maybe in green or with another Christmas patterned paper?-to put behind the photos and the tag? Maybe with ripped or inked/chalked edges or something? That could be instead of matting the letters. That way the photos and journal tag would pop out more and the embellishments would lay outside of the mat. Just a thought. Cute page though!...and seriously, let me know your tricks for the wire. I have some that I haven't used much.
Wow! Your wire words and trees rock! I gave up on wire a long time ago, I stink at it. I like your idea of matting the words so you can better see them. Maybe the trees too that way they are anchored. Since I'm addicted to ribbon... maybe three ribbon ties on the right side of the right photo. Other than that I don't know, this is a really cute page!
