I absolutely love the holiday season. I love seeing all the new trinkets for the house and every year, I end up getting something, even though I say I will not. Target is one of my stores of weakness. It is not just the cool things they have, it is the colors and the displays and the atmosphere. All of it puts me in the spirit and I love that feeling.
For this page, I wanted to share a couple of my favorite pictures from and how I am a sucker for pretty things. I selected my background paper and an overlay that looked like notebook paper. I dropped the images in a frame template and placed felt tree stamps on top of the frames in the corner. The page looked a little boring and it needed something, so I used a large stamp in the background and faded the opacity to around 70% and increased the size to take up most of the background. I finished the page off with my title and journaling using the same color to pull the whole thing together.
An accomplished photographer from Cincinnati, Lucrecer (pronounced “Lu-cree-sha”) has been digital scrapbooking for several years now. Her designs have been published in magazines such as Creating Keepsakes, Scrapbooks Etc., Simple Scrapbooks and Paper Trends. Digital scrapbooking has been a natural extension of her photography, allowing her to add layers of context and meaning to her portraits.
Recently, Lucrecer was invited to speak about her Art Slam project at the BlogHer 08 Conference in San Francisco. For more details about this creative art journaling forum – and the woman whose creations are as original as her name – check out www.candidartanddesign.com/artslam.

I like what you did with this. I am very new to digital and am amazed at the results people get. Fading the background stamp so it didn’t take over the page was a great idea.
I love the Hot Cocoa one. It has a great Holiday feel, and I love the warm colors you used.
