Christmas is all around me

I feel it in my fingers... I feel it in my toes... Christmas is all around me and so the feeling grows...
I clearly can't wait for Christmas to arrive. I spent the last few days singing Carols and especially this song from Love Actually. I love it as much as I love my elf socks! I already wrapped all the presents, and sent all Christmas cards so I am really just counting the hours to start celebrating these days with my family and friends.

And with this idea in mind I created this layout. I wanted the layout to have an advent kind of feeling since I don't make the classic december daily album. So, I decided to add those loose thickers numbers that all of us have on our stash on the bottom of the page. Although I glued them randomly they remind me of an advent calendar. Then, I cut my title with my Silhouette and I placed it next to the photo and to that little deer which with some red paint and embossed gold horns I converted it into a reindeer. So cute, isn't it?

...and sorry for the bad lighting. So hard to take good photos on Winter :S





I wish you all the happiest of Christmas and enjoy the holidays with your family and friends!

I feel it in my fingers... I feel it in my toes... Christmas is all around me and so the feeling grows...
Qué ganas tengo ya de que llegue la Navidad. Me he pasado los últimos días cantando villancicos y especialmente esta canción de Love Actually. Me encanta esta canción; tanto o más que mis calcetines de elfo. Ya he envuelto todos los regalos y he enviado todas las tarjetas de Navidad, así que ya solo me queda contar las horas para comenzar a celebrar estos días con mi familia y amigos.

Y con esta idea en mente he creado esta página. Quería que la página tuviera un sentimiento de adviento ya que no me hago el álbum típico de diario de diciembre Por lo tanto, decidí añadir esos números sueltos que siempre quedan de los alfabetos en la parte inferior de la página. A pesar de que las pegué al azar recuerdan a un calendario de adviento, ¿no?. Después, recorté el título con mi Silhouette y lo coloqué junto a la foto y al pequeño ciervo que con un poco de pintura roja y unos cuernos dorados "embossed", convertí en un reno. Muy mono, ¿no?

...y perdon por la falta de luz en la foto. Me resulta muy dificil sacar buenas fotos en Invierno.

¡Espero que tengáis felices fiestas y disfrutéis con la familia y amigos!

xoxo
