Gossamer Blue December Guest Designer part 2

Now that Christmas has come and gone I had a little more time to pull out my December Gossamer Blue kits and make a couple more layouts.

I was super excited to scrap the photo on this first layout. It features my friend's sweet little daughter, Fiona. She brought her over to my house earlier in the month and let me take some 1 year old photos of her. This was my favorite shot of the day...

All I could think of when I saw this photo was the phrase Fa La La, then I found the Fa La La with music notes in my die cut library and knew it would be perfect. I really love how it turned out. 

I used the Basics Journaling Cards to create the white patchwork design to the right of the photo. 

I used the heart stamp from the Main kit and stamped in vellum, then layered it over the Basic Grey banner. I love that stamp set...definitely a favorite in my stash.

Since it is the end of the year I thought it would be fun to create a "Year in Review" type of layout. The December Life Pages kit had some products that were perfect for this type of layout. I used the "Highlights" card along with a lot of other goodies that were included in the Life Pages kit.

Thank you so much to Gossamer Blue for having me as the December Guest Designer! I had so much fun working with their kits! You can see the other projects I made with the December kits here.

On a side note...I wanted to use a photo of the entire family for the year in review layout and after going through my photos for the year I only had 2 photos of all four of us. Seriously?! I must ensure I get more photos of all of us together in 2014!

If you would like to do a year in review layout Amy Coose has an entire post up today at write. click. scrapbook that is dedicated to this subject. Head over to write. click. scrapbook and check it out.

Thanks for visiting today! Come back tomorrow to see my layout for the January gallery reveal at write. click. scrapbook.
