I made a layout (WITH A PROCESS VIDEO!) just for fun using my Sugarplum Wishes collection! I love patterned papers and I love repetition and this layout features those two very things :)
I was inspired to create this full 12x12 layout based on a smaller version I made last year for my December Daily 2013:
Check out the process video to see how this page came together:
My tree uses about 125 folded patterned paper strips. To make them I cut three or four 3x1/2" strips from all 12 patterned papers (front & back) plus extras from the different patterns of the tags printed on Paper 1, some of the cards in the Boxed Cards with patterns that don't appear anywhere else in the collection, and from 17 papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad (all but the first tags paper). I folded all the strips in half and glued them together. I ended up with a lot of extras so to save time maybe only cut 2 strips from every paper.
I created a faux winter scene with hills made of white cardstock and silver glitter paper and then started to build my tree beginning with the very bottom and top pieces. From there I worked my way down tucking folded paper strips up underneath each other until I had a big and beautiful tree!
After that came photos tucked under the right side of the tree, a sprinkling of snowflakes (from the foam stickers, cardstock stickers, and sticker book) across the top, and presents, houses & cute icons to complete the wintery scene!
Here are two more ideas using folded patterned paper trees which I'd love to try in a 12x12 format:
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a very merry Christmas!!
