All That Glitters!

This year I have just loved using gold on my Christmas pages, and gold with white is just stunning! The December Just Add Paper kit at D-lish Scraps is called "All that glitters" and is perfect for your Christmas Scrapbook, SMASH* or Project Life pages.  

This page in my Holiday SMASH* book was plain white (very unusual for a SMASH* page actually) so I used strips of the gold washi tape (from the All That Glitters kit) to cover sections of the middle of the page. The photos on the page show when our Elves packed the school lunches - too funny! Tomato sauce, an onion and a lemon were not a hit with Jessica and the tomatoes, salt and baking powder were "not funny" in Rachael's opinion lol  
I've layered a small velum bagshipping tag and some twine from the kit underneath the photos. I then added 2 of the doilies and the strip of scalloped gold glitter card (also from the kit). I embellished the smaller pvc doilie with the bow, a flower, and flair from the kit. 
I added a  Freckled Fawn wood chips speech bubble and birdie, and used my Motex tape writer and yellow tape to add some words to the photos.
I sprinkled some gold star mini sequins (from the kit) across the page then glued them to the page with Crystal Effects and using a Clever Sequin Pick-up Pencil to place the sequins. I used some of the gold glitter canvas tape in the kit to create a banner at the top of the page and also on the tag.
The gold numeral Thickers are from American Crafts and I've also used a Pebbles roller date stamp.

Thanks so much for stopping by

Love the layout. Gold is definitely the way to go right now. I have the gold Just Add Paper kit also and love it to bits. I really like your journalling tag inside the vellum pocket. I tend to hide my journalling a lot these days.
