Christmas Cottage Coundown flip album by Cheri Piles Part 4

So what are your favorite pages so far? It would be hard to choose!! Wait until tomorrow, there are more great pages to come!! This has been so fun, I was in my lss yesterday and someone asked if I would be making this into a class... How fun would that be? Maybe next year, something similar??

If you are just seeing this, I have been showing 5 pages a day this week of this Christmas Cottage countdown book. If you missed the previous days you can see them here:


Have you played with the new flower die cuts yet? I am loving them in groupings like this, so cute!! Try adding pop dots between the layers to give them more depth. I also love that chipboard ellement on the left used as a border next to the dotted washi tape. 

Did I tell you that I was the last to the washi tape party? When I made this last July was the first time I had ever really played with it. I love that you can use it as tape or a border, as well as a decorative accent! The base page on this one is 5 1/2 by 9. I love how the sheet music paper from the next page looks so good with this page. I think that's why I like to make all of my base pages first then I can look at them and put them in an order that compliments the next page - or not having to many of the same pages right next to each other, lol!

More washi tape and a decorative boder off centered. I cut the embossed die cut that I made from a scrap piece and used one piece at the top and the other to the right of the border strips. I like that pearl in the center on the top!

I am a big fan of the glitter border strips, especially the scalloped ones! From scrap pieces I created a tag then layered another piece cut into a banner and tied the twine through them both and added a red brad bling to the center, I really like the look of them layered like that!

Another monochromatic page, can you tell I am naturally drawn to that? The piece on top of the photo is deeper than the one on the bottom, I like that they both have the matching washi tape to pull them together. Don't forget to corner round them to give them a finished look which draws the eyes in towards your photo.

The best is yet to come, I am excited about the next pages! I can't wait for you to see them! If you have any questions please be sure to leave a comment and I will answer as best I can. Thank you!! Till tomorrow!!
