Christmas Misc Me!

Christmas's are such special, family times for me and so I wanted to start documenting these special festive times.

Past, Present and Christmas's still to come by Denise van Deventer

I started with the year before my son was born as it was quite a special time for me, because he was already in my tummy and I remember thinking how different our next Christmas would be.

I love that there are always photo's with such spontaneous expressions....and these are certainly in that category.

It is also a little sad for me to see that some of my family members are much older now and are a little more fragile than what they were before.

8 years does not seem a very long time, but looking back at these photo's, they were certainly a walk down memory lane. I really do want to document and capture these moments for my son and nieces.

I did layer and raise some elements, but not unduly so, as I did not want the pockets to be bulky. I also did some stitch stamping to add interest.

I heat embossed the Leaky Shed Studio chipboard with gold embossing powder, as Christmas is all about something shiny and a little bit of bling!
