Christmas stiched paper daily art journal

Having a wonderful week - Christmas in New Zealand is summer and the weather is certainly gorgeously sunny and hot this week. We've had Christmas day with family, and Boxing day relaxing at home and I caught up on my remaining Christmas pages in my daily journal :

First the page I hadn't completed when I showed you last time 

click on any photo to see it larger

Starting a page with a serviette and stitching down a strip of ribbon is a fun base

and you might recognise this serviette base from when I made my Christmas cards

and then it was Christmas day

fun to use a serviette from the Christmas table as a background

Cute printable journal labels available from Mary Ann Moss as digital download HERE and I love my cute new staz-on ink pad

To capture memories, pages can be as simple as stitched photos and a bit of tape...this next page is card cut from a gifted calendar envelope - and doesn't even have stitch! 

Boxing Day - summer sunshine and relaxing

The blue label is another Mary Ann Moss one

Only 5 days left of the year so I'll be finishing just a few more pages and then binding them together before I start new ventures in 2015. In that first photo you can see the stack of pages for this journal...Hope you find some inspiration here.
