Christmas Eve Memories

Scrapbooking again today with the Photo Pocket pages.  These are so easy to create a page and blend with your traditional pages.  Traditional pages only hold so many pictures.  I like to start the story with a traditional page and then finish with the Pocket pages.  You can add so many more pictures and get the entire activity preserved for years of enjoyment!

I have tons of photo albums from the past and when my Aunt turned 80 last May she gave me a box of pictures.  She has been sorting thru her many photos and decided to give them to the subjects in the photos.  I must say after looking thru these pictures I was bitten by the scrapbook bug......so here we go Day 2.  I found some Christmas pictures of my Family and added the Merry Music paper cut in 4 X 3 pieces and added to the middle.  The entire verse of Deck the Halls is visible and so fitting with these photos.  I flipped the paper for the Bottom 2 center panels.
 



I tried to separate out anything Christmas and then chose a few Pocket pages.  You can buy Memory cards from Stampin' Up, but today I am going freestyle.   Old Olive 4 X 6 was added behind the smaller photos and used for Journaling.



I stamped the Tree Bulbs and colored with the Blends and Sponged with Daffodil Delight for a GLOW......
I added more Light bulbs across the top of the Christmas Past page.  The opening for these pockets  open at the top so if I find more photos I can easily add them.  The Lights were added on the outside of the pockets with dimensionals.


1 Sheet of Merry Little Christmas paper cut in 3 Strips 4 X 12.  Then 2 cut in half, 4 X 6 and the last strip cut in 3 4 X 4 Squares.  I flipped these over to the Black Stars pattern and added my pictures.


I intended to cut a couple of trees for each side and then was distracted!!  And here is the BACK of this page, ready to load more pictures!!!  And it all coordinates!!
