Love Christmas Layout 

and Christmas note book 

By Sue Smyth

This time using Let Everyday Be Christmas 

I have made a regular layout, with lovely

matching double sided papers 

it is a snap to cut panels and fussy cut, especially

when you have pre cut ephemera and tags.

I have die cut leaves with the Christmas Branches set,

they are so versatile to tuck under my layered

bauble. To create the scalloped lacy border I have used the Reindeer

Medallion Die 

To add the 3mm pearls I lay a line of glue down along

the edge. then using a pointed tool I pick off 

the pearl and place on the glue.

This means the pearl is never coming off, our heat

here in QLD

 can make pearls fall off over time.

To cover the book, trim the paper to approximately the 

size you want.

Then use a gel medium or glue to adhere it to the 

cover well.

Then decorate as desired.

Here I have used a panel of paper

which has been glued to a panel of chipboard.

Over top I have die cut from white cardstock to cut a Snowflake doiley

Then I have layered the die cuts too. To make

them sturdy, again I have glued them to chipboard

and then adhered down.

I have added 3mm pearls and white fibre for 

softness.

Of course add rhinestones to the nifty Christmas Branches die 

to make them resemble holly
