It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I can't believe I am sharing my first Christmas layout! There are some truly gorgeous products in the new Winter Collection available in store now and I couldn't wait to start using them!

For many of us it will be a very different kind of Christmas this year but I, for one, am determined to do what I can to make it extra special for those that I can share it with and to make sure it really is the most wonderful time possible!

On Christmas Day when we've over indulged, cleared away and are feeling very content there is nothing nicer than settling down to enjoy our gifts and that is the focus of this layout featuring my eldest daughter!

I started by placing a panel of patterned paper across my page leaving a slightly wider boarder at the bottom. I tucked in some torn strips of co ordinating papers and then set about creating my clusters top and bottom.

The limited edition Fox Dies 5 set includes the tiny holly leaf which was perfect to use in addition to an existing larger leaf die I already had.

The fa la la is also from the set.

The string of fairy lights is gorgeous and so useful to have the matching die to be able to cut the lights in different colours!

I used the 'December' and 25 charm to suspend in the top cluster. For the tiny gold stamped stars I used the stamp included in the Limited edition Fox Stamps 2.

The parcel perspextives are from the new Presents and Bows set, just look at the heart etching, so effective!

I'm pleased with how it turned out and with so many beautiful new products in store I'm looking forward to sharing more festive projects with you over the coming weeks.

Take care, stay safe and Happy Scrapping
