Christmas page layout

I love this photo of my niece and have been wanting to add it to my scrapbook for a while

First I cut the trees out of the paper. All straight edges, so I used the Fiskars fingertip craft knife.

I wanted to use this paper as a mat for my accent, but didn't have enough, so I just cut a few strips and taped them together. I have used this trick before and liked the look.

I used the to the Tim Holtz paper distresser to scuff up the edges.

Then highlighted a couple of paper edges with a little white paint.

I added a little sparkle to the finished page with some Stickles and rhinestones.

Last, I dipped a scrap of cardstock in white paint and added lines for my journaling.
