We had a lot of Christmas celebrations with different combinations of the kids' families this year, and the number of pictures/colors/stories has gotten intimidating. For this layout, I picked a template and just dove in to document a narrow theme--some baby “firsts” that occurred at our second gathering, including Elliott's first appearance with the family band. I kept it simple, removing some of the artistry layers of the template and replacing them with pieces from other artplay sets. I also added a brown linear gradient on color burn mode to gold-i-fy the background on the bottom.
