Our December Story 2015, Day 13

I decided to tackle Day 13 of Our December Story 2015 and I found this a little challenging because this was Alexis Birthday and it was not very Christmasy.  The only photo that had a Christmas vibe was Polka Dot Stripe decorateing the bananas.

 I decided to make day 13 in a yellow thicker font and add it to the Polka Dot Stripe photo.

These are from Hobby Lobby.

 I used some wood veener snow flakes from my stash and took off the foam circle on the back and used my Versa Mark ink pad to add clear sticky ink to one side.  I covered in a Yellow embossing powder and heat set until melted.  I did this two times.

 Finished snow flake.

 I used some pattern paper from Hobby Lobby and a Becky Higgins 3X4 die to cut out a yellow stripe piece.

I used some Project Life cards as well and trimmed off a little from each side so that the yellow and white stripe would be a nice border.

 I decided to use Stampin Up card stock and make a Lego embellishment.  I also used the Owl Builder punch to make the circles and some small foam circle to add some dimensions to the Lego.

 I took two more wood veneer from my stash and colored them as well with embossing powders.

 Tombow Mono Liquid Glue to adhere all the wood veneer to my layout.

The lighting is not great but here is the finished layout.

 I used some phrase stickers from my stash to compliment some of the photos.

 I love the little touch of yellow to bring in the whole page.  and the pink as well.  This layout was yellow and pink heavy.

 The white with black type are from a Tim Holtz sticker pack.

 I think adding little touches of elements to each page bring the whole layout together.

 Here is a close up, we are in papa's car and have her eyes coverd because she does not know we are going to a hotel.

 Alivia loves her picture takin and so I thought useing an orange color powder would match her vest and googles.

And her photo shoot appeal.

 Here are my home made Lego embellishments.

 Just some word stickers give a nice touch to photos with out overpowering them.
