Colors of the Season

 Michelle McClung

Typically, when we think colors for the holiday season, we think the traditional red, green and gold. All warm colors that invoke a sense of warmth, coziness, and a snuggly feeling. It reminds us of gatherings by the fire, warm delicious meals and a feeling of contentment.

Take a look at the submissions from our talented readers, and get a sense of what they want you to feel by using color. Will it remind you of past Christmases? Do you tend to stick to the traditional or do you enjoy decorating and in turn scrapping non traditional colors for your holiday pages?

 

 

Design note: Creating the "quilted" look with all of the patterned papers, adds a lot of visual interest to the page.

Journaling: Chris 2 ½ years old.

 

Merry Christmas 2000 by Lucy Chesna. Supplies: Paper and Journaling Tags: Cosmo Cricket, Cardstock: Bazzill, Chipboard: Heidi Swapp.

 

 

 

Design note: Next time you have more photos than you can fit on a page, try a flip up. You instantly gain space! On this layout I did a flip up on the photo on the right hand side. Under the photo when it is flipped up there are two more photos and some journaling.

Oh Christmas Tree by Laura Gilhuly. Supplies: Paper and Rub-Ons: Basic Grey, Cardstock: Bazzill, Jigsaw Letter and Ribbon Slides: Making Memories, Chipboard: EK Success, Poinsettia: Imaginesce.

Journaling: Our Christmas tree has always been a thing of beauty in our home. Jon and our boys pick out the best tree they can find, take it home then wait till the next day so the branches have fallen and decorate it. Jon meticulously sorts through all the lights, wraps the ribbon around the tree and then places each ornament where it would look the best. The tree always looks stunning when he is finished! Tyler is my Christmas boy; I think it helps that he was born on the December 22nd! He loves Christmas shows, lights, decorations, songs, everything to do with Christmas. Cody on the other hand, while he enjoys being with family and friends, the parties and gifts, isn't into the decorating so much. This year Ty wanted his own tree. Who could resist such a cute face! He decorated it himself then put it in his bedroom to use as a night light. He just loves his little Christmas tree!
