Once Upon a Sketch - December

Hello and Merry Christmas to all my Blogging friends.  Sorry if I have been absent lately my  computer is away getting fixed so I'm posting from a very old laptop which has been quite a trial. But amongst all the busyness of Christmas I did find some time (very late at night) to create a page and card.
I had lots of yummy papers from Pink Paislee after attending the Heidi Swapp and Kim Jeffries  class in Melbourne in November.
So this page is using a mix of Color Wash and Mixed Company papers and embellishments. It's for the current sketch challenge at Once Upon A Sketch.  My Journalling is based on the criteria of 'my favourite month' A list of all the things I love about January.  

Here's the Sketch my layout is based on.

The picture on my page is a print of one of my Instagram photo's capturing a lovely sunset on the Great Ocean Road at Lorne last January.

So I loved this Insta title.

My embellishment cluster is made up of flowers, some of them altered with Color Shine sprays

I love the ephemera packs and resist diecuts.

  

 And while I had all these lovely papers out I put together this little Mixed Media 

Birthday Card for my Daughter whose birthday is in my favourite month. ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by and I wish you a very Merry Christmas.
