Believe in the Magic of Christmas

Happy Holidays!

I hope you had some amazing days with your family and friends, feeling the Joy of Christmas, eating like crazy and enjoying the new presents. 

Now it's time to document those days. I love this time of the year but it always ends up being the busiest season of all of them. So, I didn't find yet the moment to upload all the photos to my computer and select the most precious ones to scrap. Until then, I decided to begin with this cute portrait photo of myself from the photo-call that all my coworkers and I set at the lab a few days before the holidays. 

I decided to go with a very bright background to contrast the dark photo. I wanted to play again with one of my favorite set of stamps from Studio Calico, which I already used before on this page (find it here). I used Versamark ink to stamped the circles repeatedly on one side of the page. Then, I embossed it with White Embossing Powder from American Crafts. And next, I colored some of the triangles with red/pinkish watercolors and acrylic paint. I love how they look like those classic sweets from Christmas, don't they?

To finish the page, I added my title (a little bit inspired by this challenge from Lora Bailora), some gold rub-ons here and there and a cluster of embellishments at the bottom right of the page.

Felices vacaciones!

Espero que hayais pasado  unos días increíbles con vuestras familias y amigos, sintiendo la alegría de la Navidad, comiendo como locos y disfrutando de los nuevos regalos.

Ahora es el momento de documentar esos días. Me encanta esta época del año, pero siempre termina siendo la temporada de mayor actividad y por eso aun no he encontrado el momento para subir todas las fotos a mi ordenador y seleccionar las mejores, las que quiero escrapear. Hasta entonces, he decidido comenzar con esta foto de retrato de la sesión de fotos que hicimos todos mis compañeros de trabajo y yo en el laboratorio unos días antes de las vacaciones.

Me decidí por un fondo muy claro para la página para contrastar la foto con el fondo oscuro.  Quería divertirme un poco con uno de mi set de sellos favorito de Studio Calico, que ya he usado antes en esta página (podéis encontrarla aquí). Utilicé la tinta Versamark para estampar los circulos en varias ocasiones en un lado de la página. Después, le di relieve con los polvos de embossing de American Crafts. Y a continuación, coloreé algunos de los triángulos con acuarelas rojas/rosadas y pintura acrílica. Me encanta cómo se parecen a los caramelos clásicos de Navidad, ¿no?

Para terminar la página, he añadido mi título (un poco inspirado en este desafío de Lora Bailora), algunos rub-ons dorados aquí y allá y un grupo de adornos en la parte inferior derecha de la página.
