The challenge of using a pre-made scrapbook is making your picture and page work together. For Day 3 I had this great Daisy D vintage Santa paper, but pictures from my walk by the creek. To tone down the print, I used parchment paint over some of it, then glued down a couple of layers of tissue paper. My paper buckled a little, but overall I liked the effect.
Day 4 - a simple sketch. We are a bit advent crazy this year, and it spread to the Christmas books. They are numbered one through 24, and the kids look forward each night to seeing what the book will be. Pussy Cat's Christmas is not in the box, because that gets read every night, just like last year.
Journal Your Christmas Day 3 - Cards. This was last year's card, but I'm putting out the disclaimer right now - it may not happen this year. The calendar is pretty full, and I just don't know if I'll get to cards. Not that I'm not thinking about you all, but I may not show it through the postal service.
Day 4 - Your Perfect Christmas. I think this is my favorite entry yet. These are little sketches of decorations I could see from the living room couch. I've made many changes in the Christmas decor this year, and I just love it! It's been awhile since I could just sit and sketch, and it was so relaxing. This is just a tiny piece, bookmark size, that slips into the pocket of my journal. Love it.
Love day 4! So so great!
