Merry and Bright! by Emma Toon

Hello, it’s Emma, today I’d like to share with you how I’ve used the Simple Stories North Pole collection.

Do you document December?, I’ll be honest with you, every year I say I’m going to, but then life gets in the way, and I don’t complete it! This year I’m going to try again...wish me luck!

I’ve chosen to use the 6x8 Robins Egg Sn@p! Binder, it works beautifully with the colours in the North Pole collection! I used the glorious St Nicholas 12x12 sheet from the collection kit to cover the front of the binder.

For day 1 and 2 I’ve used pocket pages with a 4x6 card at the bottom and space for 3x4 cards at the top. The way I’ve designed these pages I can add a photo or journaling on the 4x6 cards.

For day 3 and 4 I’ve cut out the numbers from the Sn@p! Cards using the Sn@p! Circle Crops, and then layered them up with a larger circle in patterned paper, again using the circle crops.

Day 5 I’ve used one of the frame stickers from the 12x12 Basics kit. I placed the number so it peeped through the frame and cut to size. I enjoy mixing up the ways I use the numbers, there’s so many fun ways that you can use them, don’t ever be afraid to cut into the cards to make them work for you.

Day 6 is a fun one! I’ve used one of the chipboard frames on a full 6x8 page. The number of the day is in the top aperture and then room to pop a photo in the bottom aperture.

So there we have the beginnings of my December Daily!

Wishing you all a wonderful Holiday season!

I’ll be back with you in the New Year.
