The 12 Days of Once Upon a Christmas with Cycling Team Member Wendy Antenucci

Let's welcome new Cycling Team Member Wendy Antenucci to the blog today.  She is sharing some really creative Once Upon a Christmas projects.  If you cannot find our festive holiday collection at your local scrapbook store, you can order it online directly from us HERE.  But let's have Wendy tell you all about her projects...

Christmas 2011 - When I saw the wreath design on the paper I knew I had to add the little circle chipboard pieces to the arrangement.  I then added the Foil frame to nestle the picture of my kids around the tree into the wreaths design.  With the addition of the vellum tape and a few clear cuts and chipboard pieces I was able to keep the focus on the gift my children are to me, even though Christmas is a little chaotic anymore!

O Christmas Tree - When I saw the designs on the Vintage band paper of the Children and the tree I wanted to use those to spotlight our own Christmas.  With the addition of a few other pieces of paper I was able to document the highlights of our Christmas.  The Chipboard shapes were the perfect addition along with the journaling cards to finish up my page.

Christmas Village - When I first received my box of goodies, this is the project that I knew I wanted to embark on.  I decorated my house and then the tree was born and they looked so neat sitting together that I combined them into a whole village.  I started by covering my house with paper, making some windows, and cutting the different elements from the paper.  Once I had the basics done, then came time to play with all of the amazing embellishments that LYB is known for!
