Christmas mini book

This a mini book i made for the christmas mini book swap i have taken part in on ukscrappers i enjoyed making this book have used anitas christmas papers and various stickers and bits that i had laying around in my stash i didnt want to do the traditional red/green colours so went with a blue/white/silver theme i just hope the recipient will like it

This is a lo i did for our teams weekly challenge that we are setting over on ukscrappers i am really pleased with how this lo turned out the photo of my kids on an anchor in fleetwood gave me the idea of the anchor in the corner i printed a pic from the pc resized it to the right size and used it as a template and cut it from brown cs i then drew markings on it using a gold marker pen to make it stand out and added ribbons coming from it twisting them and securing them with brads i have used scenic route sonama papers from my sarahs card kit maybe this will make my mojo hang around i have a couple more ideas for some more los its just finding the time to do them as i have a couple of mini books and a circle journal to do first there just seems to be never enough time in the day
