December 2023 - Sketching Around The Christmas Tree - Sketch #5 Layout

Welcome back to Sketching Around The Christmas Tree - Sketch 5.

Yesterday I posted the sketch I am using. Just a reminder I am using a December 2023 Page Map Sketch.

I did not put a Counterfeit Kit together for December this year. I am trying to use my older papers. I have the papers in 2 Iris bins and the elements in 1, 3snowflake punches and cardmaking in another and two bins of projects. 

Yes, that is a total of 6 of those bad boys. I am going to use my stash for my projects this Christmas. My sketch is one that will be easy for me to use my scraps 

I turned this sketch into a two-page layout. From my scraps I started with the presents and the green stripe paper. The presents paper was already cut into a 6-inch strip and the green was about a 7-inch piece. That is the start of page one. 

I added in a scrap of red that I used the ornament punch on, a couple of blue scraps for under my photo and journaling. Then I pulled a couple of embellishments to finish off the page.

For the second page, I found the same paper that I was fussy, trimmed it down and added the dark green paper. The ornament punched red paper is pieced into three sections that you can see behind the photos. A couple more stickers finish off the page.
