TASTING XMAS BERRIES

Recently I had this Xmas themed layout published in 
AUSTRALIAN SCRAPBOOK IDEAS - Issue 17 
on sale now .

'TASTE'

My approach to this layout
I adore this pic of my Grand daughter eating strawberries on Xmas day a few years ago.
I wanted to give a Christmas feel to the page without typical Christmas colors .
  Pink and black are my choice, and the white ink brushed around the edges of the black card and the fine fibres of muslin suggests soft snow to me.
 The circles are a graphic interpretation of the berries and the handmade flowers to me represent our table setting where I always have beautiful flowers as a centre piece .
 I definitely prefer non-traditional colors at  Christmas time. 


hope you buy this mag it is full of inspiration .


Here is another of 3 projects I created for the magazine - ISSUE 17 

hope I have inspired you in some way
