Christmas trends…

…Christmas is a lot about trends. One year you are supposed to fill your home with angels. The next year you have to fill it up with Santa figures of all sizes. The trend moves from shine brass to minimalistic glass. In between lilac, blue,  red and white. So – what do I do? I am not known to follow the trends:)

Last year I did not open the door to the storage room containing the Christmas stash. Since I have been on a quest to declutter  my home since early spring I am a little afraid of looking inside now. I know it is stuffed with Santa figures  in there and I really don`t feel like loosing them, even if I don`t want to put them on display this Christmas. Seems like a lot of work to take it all out just to put them back in. But – that is what I need to do – because I need to find the things I want to use. Hm…

I need a plan.

I have been reading through the handout in Elisha Snow`s photography class and like all photo classes – it is all about light.

Template – Story teller, Tiffany Tillman, Little Shoppe Design. Paper – Sue Cummings.

It is dark when I go to work and this is what I get when I come home. Me – I like the blue one down in the corner. And I love Santa. Sometime I want them all over the place. No free space without a Santa. Just not this year.

I guess I have a plan:)

Design Your Life…

 …once again at Big Picture Scrapbooking. Registration starts today. If you are taking one class next year – this is the class!

 My pre-assignment page. I worked hard with this one. Following the posting in the gallery as the date for class to start came closer I could see all these great pages coming up. I had no idea what I was doing.

This is the one page I made that I like the most. Not sure why –  because now I can see all the mistakes I did. I have learned a lot about using the computer in the year between now and then. Very much to Cathy Zielske`s credit.

I am going back and forth about signing up. I probably will because I want to feel the buzz that CZ creates in her classes and I want to spend more time learning about colour and type – this time around.

I promise – you will not regret signing up for this class.  Design Your Life .
