Simply Christmas

just gorgeous Jill! love the muted photo, the glorious cluster at the right, and that lacy border at the bottom. I felt like the whole page was a Christmas card and the cascading clusters were just breathtaking. love the sparkles in there too with the perfect title placement.

I like the look of the white lace along the bottom of the page and the bright glitter swirls coming down from the corner.

so much to love here, Jill. I'll be back to blither on my details later! love ya, hope all is going as well as can be expected.
I'm baaack! And now that I have time to soak this in, am just loving how you've used so many of my absolute fave things. Like lace and flourishes. Oh those glittery flourishes are so divine. Love that photo treatment and all the sparkles you meticulously added to a perfectly sweet and charming photo that us mere mortal digi scrappers would have thought was perfectly fine as shot. You take it the extra mile. That big cluster just growing gleefully (couldn't resist) from the upper corner and cuddled in plaid is so, so amazing... I mean that teeny red flower on the lowest strand of loopy string. You knock my socks off. Not that I actually wear socks. But if i did, you would.
aloha!

There is something so magical about sparkles. I don't think we use them enough. I never seem to get them right, but when you use them, it is like the fairies just visited! Actually, I can picture this layout being created by the fairies in a Disney picture, layering on the stuff and flying around adding layers with their little wands in the air. I THINK I JUST CRACKED YOUR SECRET.
