JYC/DD Day 11

Today I went to London with my mom, aunt and cousin to visit Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park! As I plan on following the JYC prompts I didn't include loads about that trip here and did focus on a piccie of my Christmas tree - bokeh style!
I added an extra transparency over the tree photo. It is attached to a hidden journalling card tucked behind the photo.

JYC/DD Day 10

Today's page was nice and quick, but looks a little boring!! My plan is to make my own wrapping paper with brown paper and one or two nice stamped images. I think it will look lovely, but in the album does look a little plain and boring :0(

JYC/DD Day 9

Today  I celebrated my love of the colours of the season.  A little challenge was to include hidden journaling - not much of a challenge for me as I LOVE hidden journaling and am including LOADS of it in this journal!!
The photo page is a photo taken on my iPhone camera and then altered in the Instagram app {love}

JYC/ DD Day 8

Today was all about the sights you see around you. I was a little disappointed not to take better photos today as it would have been nice to have a page packed with photos. Instead I cheated a little and celebrated the camera that takes those photos instead!!!

JYC/ DD Day 7

I spent HOURS at the hairdressers today! I no longer have dyed black hair! 5 and 1/2 hours of work took away 5 years of dye and gave me lovely dark auburn hair with golden highlights!!
Photos to follow tomorrow!!
Here is todays Journal page, focussing on the fact I only have 3 presents purchased so far!!! I'm not stressing as I know I'll get them all, so I enjoyed creating this page!!
The envelope on the third page contains lovely notelets to myself with present ideas on for people.
(ps excuse the shakey camera work! I'm tired!!)

I'd like to thank everyone for the wonderful comments they have been leaving about my pages. I was really worried about this format for my journal and you have all filled me with confidence about it and my creative style.
Thank you so much xx

JYC/DD Day 6

I was lucky enough to have some time off work this afternoon so rushed home to complete my page in the daylight!!
Today I looked at Christmases of the past and that of the present - very similar and yet amazingly different!!
I decided touse the same design on each tag but change the papers I used so one was vintage-y with a retro snow man and one very modern with a modern snowman!!
Enjoyed these pages but not sure how they will fit into the album as the papers are very different to those I have used so far.  I will stick to the main colour scheme, but every now and then its fun to shake it up a bit!!!

I hope you are enjoying looking at these pages as much as I am enjoying making them! PLease leave a comment and I'll pop over to your place to have a nosey too :0)

JYC/DD Day 5

Well, here is todays page. I discussed the countdown to Christmas and another form of Christmas count that Kei and I do - our new tree decoration each year. This year we have continued the tradition and once again bought a Jasmine Beckett Griffith fairy. One year our tree will be filled with just these!!!

Hope you have all had a wonderful weekend. Shame it is over so quickly - again!!
