I believe in Santa



Hello! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas day, I had a great time with my family, my son came from PR to spend these day with us and I'm so happy.
Today I share with you two pages that I made using the beautiful Christmas range from 2Crafty Chipboards and the new collection "A Gift For You by Maja Design. My first page is a lovely memory when my kids are little, they love to see what Santa brought them.

I gave a heavy coat of gesso to the chippies and after they had dried I applied white Stickels to them.

I added around my photo some "Christmas Assortment"chippies that I firstly, Coated in gesso.  Next up I painted with red distress ink and third I applied Stickles.

2Crafty Chipboards Used:




"Believe"

Another memory of my son's first Christmas. I used the "Mini Christmas Bauble" painted them with red acrylic paint and Stickles.

I just painted my "Believe" title with red acrylic paint and with my oil pen I gave it some highlights to enhance it.

I love this Santa's image from the "From Santa With Love" paper and I added some textures with stencil and molding paste.
 Peace, Love & Joy
