0 Sleep’s ’til Christmas | Joyful Collection | Raquel Bowman

Hi everyone, I am here on the blog sharing a new layout with you this Christmas season featuring the amazing Joyful collection. Every release of a new Christmas collection brings me a moment to reflect on our Christmas past. I decided to create a layout based on our 2020 Christmas morning.

Here is the layout that I created:

The layout today features a photo of my babes on Christmas morning last year – I framed the photo in a paper from the collection, as always I have added a white border to my photo to give a definite border. I printed the photo in black and white so that I could incorporate a variety of colours to my page,

One main feature of this layout is the cut file. A gift wrapping look from Cut to You which I backed with the gorgeous red paper in the A5 paper stack and green papers from the Deck the Halls paper and the Making Spirits Bright paper.

I used a variety of embellishments from the latest collection, including fussy cut florals from the ‘Tis the season‘ paper. The love of these florals; I never tire of them. 

My fave feature of this layout is the tags that I have hung off the bow of the cut file. The ‘0 sleeps tip Christmas’ is a sticker from the accessory sheet which I have made into a tag. This sticker inspired the title of the page. The ‘0’ is actually an ‘o’ from within a word in the titles pack. I love that it adds and continues the pops of gold within the page.

To the left of the photo I have also included more fussy cut florals but also cute Christmas icons like the presents, stars and holly. These were all from the ephemera pack or the titles pack. The ‘Christmas’ is from the chipboard sheet, it is hard to capture in a photograph how gorgeous these chipboard pieces are with the gold foiling.

Thanks so much for stopping by the CVS blog today, I hope this layout has inspired you to get creating.

Sending much love!
