Hello Pinkfresh friends. Karlla here, and I'm so happy to share this project with you.
The new 'Very Merry Christmas' collection is simply sensational and just the way I love it. All of this cheerful color combination is my favorite. To create the year-end layouts that look good, I’ve already brought a project full of color for our day. I hope you enjoy it and have fun with me.

Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Cut 1/4 inch off each side of the striped paper.
-
Cut a circle with approximately 8" in circumference in the center of the striped paper.
-
Make an irregular stitch on the edge of the circle and at the ends of the striped paper. (optional)
-
Stick the striped paper onto a white cardstock with foam tape.
-
Add the two photos with foam tape layers of your choice.
-
Cut floral arrangements from floral paper.
-
Add one red below the photos at the top, and another red one below the photos, and a pink flower arrangement on top.
-
Still in the arrangement below the photos, add a branch from the 'Ephemera' kit.
-
In the Ephemera kit, add the Christmas tree to the left side of the photo. And at the top of the upper photo arrangement, the star.
-
On the top left side of the photo, place the Santa Claus tag from the 'Tag Ephemera'.
-
On the right side of the layout, add the title "Festive Fun" from the Chipboard Title with foam tape.
-
Slightly above the title, paste the phrase "Festive & Fun" from the Cardstock Stickers.
-
Cut out a tree from the paper with Christmas cookie images and add it to the photo using foam tape.
-
Add the gifts and the branch that you find in 'Ephemera'.
-
Finish with stars from the 'Chipboard Stickers' and Enamel Shapes.


I hope you all have been inspired, and I can't wait to see your creations with Very Merry Christmas.
See you soon.
With Love,
Karlla
