On to my Crafty project. I just love to SMASH*. More recently I seem to have spent more time Scrapbooking but I was really just waiting for the Holiday SMASH* folio to become available in Australia so that I could start documenting our Christmas. Well, mine only arrived just over a week ago so I have lots of catching up to do!

These are 2 pages in the Holiday folio. I had to take 2 photos because there was a plastic page between them and I haven't decided what to do with that yet. The LH page already had a place to document your "Top 10 Christmas tunes" - what a great idea! I listed my favourites and left the page at that. That's what I love about SMASH*ing - there are no rules! And I love the unique and often quirky pages that you have to work with. 

My photos were taken at Santa's Magic Cave in Adelaide where we took our daughter for the first time.The RH page was already a lot busier with a red chevron background so I kept my embellishments simpler.  I layered a bag & tag, white paper doilie and lots of diecuts from the Pink Paislee Snow Village collection. I love the gold colour and all the velum! 
The angel was from a packet of metal Christmas embellishments I found at a "Bed, Bath and Table" shop - I'm always on the lookout :)

I also used a heap of alphas, stamps, wood veneer, washi, tags, flowers and twine from my stash.

So if you are looking for a quick and easy way to document December and the Christmas period I would thoroughly recommend you try a SMASH* folio.

It wouldn't be a blog hop without a giveaway would it!
