Oh Christmas Tree!

Christmas After Dark

Hi scrappers! Now that the holidays are in full swing, I finally got around to scrapping a Christmas photo from last year. A local mall always puts up a very tall and very bright tree every year. There is also a ferris wheel there year round so we snapped a picture that shows both.

I started with some black snow print paper from the Evergreen & Holly stack by American Crafts. I liked how it matched the dark background of my photo. I also used some red and white star paper from the same stack along with various paper scraps I already had. I used some red acrylic paint to add some pops of color and then added in some green accents using stencil butter by The Crafter’s Workshop. I spent some time layering my paper scraps on top until I was happy with the final result and glued it all down. From there, I embellished with some chipboard shapes also from the Evergreen & Holly collection and some ornament stickers by Jolee’s Boutique. I even managed to find some alpha stickers that still had all the letters needed to spell out Oh Christmas Tree!

This page was made for the December Cherry lift challenge over at A Cherry on Top crafts. I chose the sketch above but rotated it 90 decrees. I really liked the use of mixed media and all the layers. She used a white background so it was fun to see how different my page turned out with a black background.

This page was also made for the December Mood Board challenge. I took the following elements from the Inso pic: black background, snowflakes and stars. I also stuck with the color theme of black, white, red and green.

That’s all for this week! I’m going to attempt to put together one more page for the year of 2023 but if that doesn’t happen, happy holidays to all the scrappers out there!
