Journal: My Christmas Vacation


happy new year

i partied like a rock star....not really.  usually we do party like rock stars but because I had a huge halloween party, hosted thanksgiving, and celebrated christmas for a month, i decided to just chill for new years eve.  started my december journal of our christmas vacation while sipping champagne.  i had lots to journal about. i did 80% of my shopping on amazon, allowing me to spend more time with my family...just one click and boom...christmas was on my front porch. 

i tried to keep my journal simple by not using any large die cut machines.  i only used 4 punches (2 border, 2 shape). however, i did complicate it with pulling paper from every direction...old, new, digital.  the base paper (8.5x11) is digital paper that I altered a bit with digital brushes.   im not going into details on everything i used. i'll do a more detailed review in a video for those who like to follow me there.  i wanted a journal where I could keep things like recipes I used, pictures, gift bags, etc.  we had a spectacular december and wanted to keep that memory.
