Hi everyone! Emily here. Happy Christmas Eve Day to all of our October Afternoon fans who celebrate Christmas! Every Wednesday throughout the month of December, the design team will be sharing festive holiday-themed projects on the blog. Be on the lookout for layout, card, gift-wrap ideas and more, all using your favorite October Afternoon products.
Today I'm sharing a holiday layout with a slightly non-traditional holiday theme. Instead of documenting the activities we have been doing this year, I decided to document the soundtrack that has been playing on repeat while we trim the tree, bake the cookies, and wrap the gifts. Honestly, most of our days were filled with the sounds of my Pandora holiday station! However, if I had to pick my favorites this year (and pretty much every year) these would be the top nine. I chose nine songs for a very practical reason...PicMonkey makes a really perfect collage with nine photos!
I used a combination of the Daily Flash Eggnog collection and the December Story kit, along with a few random extras thrown in for good measure! I love the little music note stamps that come with the December Story kit and add-on! My typewriter is currently out of ribbon, so I just used a typewriter font and printed the journaling on my computer. Unfortunately, I forgot that my printer and white cardstock don't always get along, and I smudged my journaling.
I loved Mou's little holly embellishment last week, and I decided to include it on this layout! I had already used my red buttons from the December Story kit, so I used a Daily Flash badge as my holly berry!
What are some of your favorite holiday songs? I am always looking for new ones!
We would love for you to play along! Upload your layout to the October Afternoon Flickr gallery, post it on our Facebook page, or connect with us on Instagram via #octoberafternoon and #oadecemberstory. Happy holidays and happy scrapping!
