Monday Challenge ~ ‘Vintage Christmas’ ~ By Jayne Loughlin

Good Morning Fiskarettes. I’m not sure how old Vintage is ! But I would call Fashions from 1980′s Vintage wouldn’t you & we have surely got 1980′s fashions on in the photo I do apologise for the photos quality and I’ve cropped off the top !

Anyway the Layout above is Myself & younger Brothers 1982 at my Nans house at Christmas. My Brothers are going to kill me now showing these photos lol ! I am smiling at the naff tree & Christmas Baubles it has & I just asked my 20 year old daughter where her trousers were today as she had a Jumper Dress on ..Whoops lol

Tools & Items needed: 2 x 6×4″ photos, 12″ Cardstock, Patterned paper, Fiskars Effervescence Border Punch, Trimmer, Adhesive, Journaling block, Embellishments, Alpha Stickers, Scissors.

Quick instructions: Firstly you need to cut some blocks of patterned paper. I’ve used a Christmassy flowered paper cut with the Trimmer  4″ x 6″ , Journalled paper 4″ x 7″ & a Woodgrain paper (I thought was very vintage)10″ x 10″

Punch the Tops of the two smaller pieces using the Fiskars Border Punch.

Glue the flowered punched paper at the top right facing side 1cm away from the corner.

Glue the 2nd Woodgrained piece towards the bottom left facing corner (see photo above for details of placement)

Glue the 2nd piece of punched paper in the middle of the woodgrain 1cm from the top central.

Arrange the photos and when you are happy with placement glue overlapping the bottom corners.

Add a Journal block to the bottom Right facing photo corner & an Embellishment or cluster of them.

Next add Alpha stickers for Title & Journaling.
