December 11 - Christmas Long Ago

Welcome to December!

So happy to have you join us for our

Counterfeit Kit Challenge Advent Calendar 

as we "open the door" each day and share something seasonal with you.

Hello everyone, Tina with you today. I am so glad to join you for Day 11 in our Advent countdown!

The pictures go left to right across the double page layout of a Christmas gift that I had gotten my husband, hmmm... mid 1990s, I would say. I need to investigate that a bit better with comparing other photos. I had fun getting this gift together with a bit of help from the delivery guys who stacked the chairs to make one tall box. (My husband is 6'4" so that gives an idea of how tall it was!) It was buy one get one free so I also had a nice Christmas gift :) 

His reaction was priceless that day - what a great memory of a fantastic gift that I've never forgotten. I did find out that negatives just don't hold up well. These are stored with a bunch of negatives that I had better get printed before they get worse. Hopefully I can find a local source for this type of printing.

 I used Christmas pattern paper and also some gift paper. I like to use a variety of fonts (three here) for my title, plus a variety of Christmas die cuts and a couple of project life cards too.

It's always great to dig into some old stash to do my Christmas layouts, CKC style. I've got quite the stash of Christmas Scrappy items :) So won't you consider joining us in 2019 as we use up our stash in fun unique ways?
