Soooo pretty - love the little stacks of presents and the beautiful ornament at the top - the red stitching around the edges really stands out, too! It's such a pretty page!
Again...beautiful! Those presents are such a lovely touch and I love how you take us step by step through your lo and how you did it and what you did. Thank you for sharing it with us!!
OMW, how grown up and beautiful Helen Grace is! And, Allen is such a handsome little man! I love all the detailed work you did here, Susan! Gorgeous, as always!
Gorgeous ornament and the touches of blue on the presents is a perfect compliment to the other colors. Your description of the techniques you used is so helpful.
This layout was created with the I Believe Collection from My Mind's Eye. I took this photo of Allen and Helen Grace just a few days before Christmas. The stack of presents are three different stamps from Flourishes called All Wrapped Up I colored each stamped image with Copic Markers, then put a light coat of Glimmer Glaze (Tim Holtz). I used foam tape to mount the presents to the layout to give it a little dimension. The ornament at the top left was made by stamping the poinsettia on white card stock with black Memento ink. I colored the poinsettia and then colored around it with a soft yellow Copic marker. I cut the ornament out with the Spellbinder Ornament die (the next to the large one). Then I added a hatch work of glue and sprinkled with glitter. I've included more details of how to make the ornament on my blog:

The green border across the bottom of the red was punch with an EK Success border punch. The journaling was printed on white card stock. I punch the corners with a ticket punch, added a small gold border with a gold metallic pen and then added three tiny red flat-back pearls to the bottom. I also added pearls to the name plate by the photo. Title letters are white, glittery Thickers. After looking at the layout for a little while, I decided that a "stitched" border would be the perfect finishing touch...and I love the way it ties everything together. BTW....the black border around the layout was just added digitally so that the white background of the layout didn't fade away. Journaling reads:
Each year at Christmas, I try to get a photo of you two . Sometimes it’s not so easy getting you to smile for me; however, this year your smiles were brighter than the lights on the trees. Just looking at this photo makes me smile!
