I am a paper junkie it's true. I have an addiction to pretty papers and my overflowing scrapbook shelves can attest to this! I promised myself no more until I started using more of my stash. And then I saw the gorgeous new papers from Karola Witczak. I folded like a deck of cards at a casino poker game. I gave in. I bought Christmas Stories and amd Dear Diary from Mintay Papers. Although Christmas is over I had to share my first creaton with the Christmas Stories line.
You know my daughter Jessie. If you don't you will. She lives closet to me so I often get more photos of her than anyone. This photo is old tho. Taken in 2012 this is Jessie with her beloved pitbull Rufus. I am making her a special album for her Birthday this year commemorating Rufus and their time together. Sadly she had to put Rufus down in 2015.

This copper plate from Tim Holtz was how I decided to title this piece. I really wanted the focal point to be the photo and not too many blooms or Alphas.
I had a blast fussy cutting these papers! I find fussy cutting so relaxing it's like therapy for me. I popped in a movie and went at it. I love how an entire sheet on the back of the cover page in these papers is dedicated to fussy cutting elements. I even cut extra and popped them up with foam dots to give it a 3D look. I used a TCW stencil and some snowflake paste to add a background to the page. I tried to keep it relatively simple and let the photo and the papers speak for themselves.
That's it for today just a quickie! I'll be back tomorrow with something new. I hope!
All the best! :)
