One of the THREE (yes, three) mini book classes on the Saturday was this Christmas or December book. It was taught by Tracey Hudson, using the Authentique "Festive" range of papers. It was taught as a base book, to add your own photos,etc.
It was a very busy class - and I ended up completing the book at home later. I decided to use it to document my December. And, although the pages are all numbered one to twenty five, I decided to just think of the numbers as part of the decoration, and not as actual dates - does that make sense?
I tried to take plenty of photos - and ordered them all in one go, just after Christmas.
Then yesterday, I gathered the photos and "stuff" that I had collected during December, and put my book together. I'm going to add a bit of typed journalling to it soon, but I wanted to show it sooner rather than later. The tags behind the number 22 and the name tags further up were made by my very talented sister, Helen, who I went on the retreat with.
Do you think she planned that ribbon to match the book? I think so, too.
I've really enjoyed this way of recording December - and may do something similar again.
