I Saw Mommy

Anna's new APP, Mistletoe, reminded me of that old song: I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus. The illustration is one I found on the web, I'm pretty sure it's a Norman Rockwell illustration done for the Saturday Evening Post.

Process notes:
I used SolidPaper No. 3 from APP Misteltoe my base. I placed ArtsyPaper No. 3 on top of it and set the blend mode to multiply at 28% opacity to add a subtle painted background. I placed a 12 x 12 FB in the center of the page and reduced the size. I then clipped my photo to it. I then began adding transfers and elements around and under the clipped photo. As a challenge, I tried to use every single one, but some I just couldnt fit in. But I think I use all the transfers and 80% of the elements. I created my word art by using three different fonts in three colors. I varied the text to add visual interest.

Thanks for looking.
I agree ... Norman Rockwell - amazing. How fun that you selected this old portrait --- reminds me of turning the pages of my little golden book "The Night Before Christmas" ... same feeling.
 
Love the vintage Norman Rockwell! And one of my favorite Christmas songs, too! You have created a bit of nostalgia for me, thank you!
 
The vintage image is adorable. Your use of many transfers and elements well done. The variety of fonts makes the layout as fun as the image.
