Documenting December | Pinkfresh Studio 'December Days' | Agnus Kasprzak

Hi again :) Christmas is almost here and I have been busy documenting all the festivities using Pinkfresh Studio's December Days collection. 


Making room for a few 4x6" photo forced me to change my regular design A page format that I have used all year, but happy with the way it makes the larger photos stand out. 



Adding more of the gorgeous embellishments that I have used in my previous pages has made creating filler cards a breeze. The wooden buttons and foiled die-cuts have especially been my faves. 


It wouldn't be Christmas without the annual Santa photo! I used a cluster of die-cut and puffy sticker presents to cover up a stool that I didn't like in the bottom of the photo. 


Using one of the puffy sticker sayings directly over one of my photos. This works especially well when there are no people in the pics.


Using smaller embellishments directly over the photos to add a pop of colour


Going back to the Design A format to record more December memories. The gold foiled cardstock helped to balance out the warmer tones in my photos. 



Creating a cute little Christmas scene using some of the elements from the collection for a custom made filler card. 


Adding a flat ornament from your tree or even a tag from your wrapping is a good way to make your December pages more personalised.

Documenting December | Pinkfresh Studio December Days

Hello again :) I'm excited that December is finally here and that I can start documenting my favourite time of year with lots of gorgeous goodies from Pinkfresh Studio's December Days collection. 


I am using my regular project life album to document the month with inserts and extras like the ones I shared in my previous post added in to record all the festivities. 


And because it's a new month, I have created a title card with a row of fussy cut trees cut from one of the 12x12" papers from the collection along with a couple of puffy stickers. I printed out my title and mounted it onto some foiled cardstock to help it stand out on the patterned background. 


I have again added gold foiled vellum and foiled cardstock to tie in with the gold accents from the collections and also to add some warmth to my pages. I tied some gold string from my Xmas wrapping onto a couple of layered tags from the die-cuts pack and used one of the cute wooden buttons to add dimension to create an easy filler card and used black alpha stickers and puffy star to add interest to a simple photo.  


Adding a 6x12" insert that I cut down from a full sized page protector to hold more photos. 


Once again, layering a mix of textures to create another filler card. The chipboard frames really help to define the focal point inside the pockets. 


Shaker cards are great for Christmas pages and adding little bits & pieces from your decorations or wrapping is a good way to add a personal touch to your albums - I used my fuse tool to seal a glittered feather  from the adjoining photo along with a handful of sequins to create a fun shaker card. You could also use washi tape, stickers or stitching to seal the top of your pockets.

Pocket Pages with Agnus | Pinkfresh Studio | December Days

Hello again :) with Christmas fast approaching I am feeling festive and thought it was a good time to start planning out my December documenting with a beautiful collection of Christmas themed products from Pinkfresh Studio's December Days collection. 
While I am not doing a traditional December Daily album that marks specific days during the month, I still want to document all the festivities and am making cards and inserts ahead of time that will be ready for our photos and stories in our project life album once December comes. As I did last year I will be marking the start of the festivities with a title page and am using a 6x8" insert featuring a simple tree shape that I cut from some gorgeous gold foiled vellum. 



I backed the tree with white cardstock and attached some small gold foil stars from the die-cuts pack, along with a cute bird from the puffy sticker sheet, a couple of cardstock sticker strips and one of the adorable wooden buttons and added a sprinkle of white ink over my cardstock background


Using one of patterned papers from the 6x6" paper pack over some navy cardstock, the reverse side of my insert is ready for a photo to slot inside a chipboard frame. The frame originally featured a winter bird in the lower right hand corner but I decided to remove the bird and layered a couple of tree shapes in it's place. 




The chipboard frame are also great for adding photos or journaling onto 4x6" cards. Picking up the gold accents from this collection I have also added some gold foil cardstock from a different brand to add more warmth to the collection.  
I used a needle and thread to string on some cute puffy sticker baubles, securing the thread on the reverse side of the card with tape and love the way the baubles hang on the card.

Keeping things simple is the key to making this project work, and using a section from the 12x12" cut apart sheet with just a few small accents was all it took to create a quick and easy filler card. 


I have also decorated a couple of the 3x4" cards from the collection, using a more puffy stickers, another wooden button and die-cut word to dress up my cards. I added a simple circle shape cut from gold foil cardstock to help me ground the reindeer onto the top card.
