friday..Swirlydoos December Kit Layout #3

Today is Friday!!! Yay! Tomorrow my hubby and I are driving back to our hometown to spend the weekend with our family since we will not be able to on Christmas Day this year because he's working.

Today, I want to share with you another Christmas layout that I made with the gorgeous Swirlydoos December Kit, Joyeux Noel! 


My hubby and I did our own mini Christmas photo session last year and we had a lot of fun doing it! We laughed and teased each other, all the while clicking away (we have a hand held clicker for taking our own pictures!) and these are some of the more fun pictures from that session! I turned these photos B&W and printed them 3"x4". 


I used the gorgeous huge red poinsettia and some of the smaller red poinsettias from the Add On Flower Kit. I stamped and die cut (Heartfelt Creations) a few poinsettias and added some color by mixing a bit of water with some of the beautiful red Silks paint included in this kit.


 I painted the corrugated cardboard (box where my kit came it!) with brown and white acrylic paint and then added some random splatters of the gorgeous Lumin'arte Silks Glaze Paint - Love Struck included int he kit! I also painted my chippie title with it and then added crackle paint! I love how my title turned out!

I did some paper layering and matted my photos with the ornament paper. I added a piece of the beautiful gold ribbon loosely around the bottom of the 2 photos.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend everyone! If you are traveling, have a safe trip!
