Merry Christmas | Merry and Bright Collection | Anna Blades

Hi CVS friends!

It’s Anna back with you here on the blog. Today I’m sharing my first layout featuring the gorgeous “Merry & Bright” collection. I love the colors! It’s so sweet and soft that every project made with it has magic. For today’s layout, I used this beautiful picture of my sister and my brother-in-law with their first son.

I started this page with the “Holly Background”  Cut to You cut file. I backed it with the “Joy to the world” and the “Oh Christmas tree” papers from the A5 Paper Stack. I think it looks great, and green and soft pink go very well together. Then, I put foam squares behind it and glued the cut file to the “Star Bright” paper.

I placed the picture on the right side, with a leave overlapping it. The background of the photo is full of leaves, so I like how the cut file seems an extension of it. Then I created three clusters around the photo using the floral die cuts from the Ephemera pack. Flower die cuts are always my favorite item from every collection. To add a touch of gold, I placed two puffy stars on top of the clusters.

For my title, I used one of the stickers from the Accessory Stickers that says “Merry Christmas”. I stacked it on top of one of the A5 papers to frame it. I also raised it with foam squares. As the final touch, I put a flair button and a little red bell in the upper right corner. I framed the page with the B side of the “Countdown” paper.

I love how it turned out and how pretty the cut file looks. I hope it gives you some inspiration for your holiday pages.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I wish you a very Merry Christmas!

Have a wonderful day!
