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:)
These are wonderful pages full of rich memories. I love the red and how the pages are unified. Until I saw these pages side by side, I didn't realize the pages matched together in the Holiday Album. I wasn't sure how I'd be able to use the album with my own book layout but now I'm really glad I have it.
 
This will be such a treasure for you children and your grandchildren! love your journaling! love how the two pages flow! gorgeous!
 
What a great idea Linda! Love the photos of your grandchildren and the including of the photos of your own children, that is so cool! I look forward to the rest of the pages :O)
 
these pages look great together. i love how you've used the red elements and red in the photos together to make the pages so pleasing to look at.
