Smile Please!

For my testimony I journalled around the perimeter, telling the hidden story behind the photo, about a slice of family life at Christmas, setting the scene with banner flags. I used face and hidden as my inspirational words.
For my evidence I used a frame around my photo which I die cut from my border die and decorated with die cut holly leaves, the photo had photo corners, I created a border along the bottom of my LO with small christmas trees which were also the tiles for my title. I cut the circles for my banner with my small circle punch from holly leaf paper and used bakers twine in aubergine and red. The larger christmas tree I cut from another photograph along with the small parcels at the bottom. The santa/reindeer stamp was inked with aubergine/eggplant colour TH Distress ink.
I know it's a busy page but to me it says HAPPY CHRISTMAS. Hope you like it and thank you for any sweet thoughts you leave. http://apaintaholicsprogress.blogspot.com/2012/02/smile-please-csi-challenge-5.html
