My Christmas album this year will be different because it's the first time not all my kids will be under my roof. To help me along, I'm taking Anna's new aAProject class, which you can read about here: http://annaaspnesdesigns.com/new-aaproject-class/ I thought I'd get a jump on things by starting early with the project templates that were just released in the store--who knows if this will stay the first page or not.

Process:
I used the template precisely as is, removing a few stains and transfers that were in the way of my journaling. I clipped the photos to the mask, wrote the story, and then added the artsy transfers to enrich the background. I did the word art and changed the color of the middle frame to match. After that, it was a button and beads to finish.
