Deck the Palms Blog Hop

Celebrate a sunshine filled Christmas with Close To My Heart’s beautiful Deck the Palms paper collection.  The vibrant colours add a real pop to your pages.  If your festive season activities include a visit to the beach, this layout will be perfect to keep the memories alive.

If you arrived from Doris's Blog, Creative Inspirations, you are in the right place.  If this is your first time on a blog hop, simply read on and enjoy my creations.  Click on the link at the end of this post and it will take you to the next blog and so on and so on. Easy and fun! Best part is you can see several different projects to create with Close To My Heart’s Deck the Palms collection.   When you land back here, you are done and it’s time to hit the scrapbook room for some crafting fun.

Make Christmas a rainbow of colour

This layout is one of 3 created for my Stencils Paper Picnic. It was so much fun using the bright Distress Oxides with the Deck the Palms papers & stickers. 

Stencil the background first, overlapping colours so they blend and make new colours.  I used the concentric dots stencil from Pack 2 by Close To My Heart.

The paper portion is super quick to assemble following pattern 16 in Make It From Your Heart Vol 3.   The embossed cardstock adds a subtle lift and that palm frond paper is my absolute favourite in the pack.

Dress your page up with paper candy. 

Use the circle thin cuts and Deck the Palms Christmas stickers to create two candies at either end of the rainbows.

Swap to the tropical stickers if your photos have nothing to do with Christmas.

Make room for extra photos

Adding a pocket plus protector to the centre of the layout makes room for 5 extra photos, bringing the total on the layout to 11.
