Process: My own children are all grown, but I thought Id adapt the December Daily concept in order to make a book for my grandchildren, Grandmas Christmas Stories. Im trying to include photos of my own children as I share some stories. At the moment, Im planning two more pages about these gingerbread men.

Im using Annas Holiday Templates, substituting frames to fit my photos as I did for this page, recoloring stains, adjusting masks as needed. Im using the square frames for the old Instamatic photos and changing those shots to black and white. Ive added some elements to create a visual triangle over the entire two page spread.

Thanks for looking:)
Fabulous mix of the old and new photographs - I hadn't thought of doing that in the pages I am doing, it makes the story all the more special!
 
Sweet photos and love the template and palette you used. i must get started on some photo pages like this.
 
Love the look on their faces, totally focussed. Wonderful use of elements, love the sprinkles and all the red accents.
 
love your mix of color and b&w photos for this Linda, and the watercolory areas. Great photos - really makes me feel that Christmas is on the way!!!
