Welcome to the DCWV and Hampton Art Holiday Blog Hop Day Two.
If you didn’t see yesterday’s projects make sure you head to DCWV and Hampton Art.
I wouldn’t want you to miss out on anything!
You should have arrived here from the wonderful Nina Yang.
For this project we were given the following words all associated with Modern Scrapbooking: Trendy, Clean, Saturated, Bold, Geometric, Clever and Pop Art.
Hmmm…I describe my style as whatever I feel like at the time.
So, I grabbed the DCWV The Heirloom Christmas Stack and pulled out all of my favorite papers.
Some definitely were not what I would consider Modern, so those got set aside.
And that is one of my favorite things about a DCWV stack- the variety.
The paper with Santa carrying his bag full of Christmas cheer really called out to me and was made to be paired the Hampton Art Holiday Dreams & Wishes stamp set I was given.
And that is how my layout came to be.
My layout~
I just love this scene, so I didn’t want to cover it up.
I chose to keep my layout clean by offsetting my picture and journaling.
My picture and journal tag~
I used one of the trendy font blocks to make a pocket to hold everything including that year’s letter to Santa once I find it.
It seems I put it somewhere very, very safe.
I think the definition stamps play into the trendy, modern theme as well.
So, what do you think? Is it Modern? Does it fit into any of those words?
Your next stop is the very talented Emily Lanham.

Sarah, this is a gorgeous page! I love the papers you chose, they go perfectly with the picture!
Sarah your layout is just awesome ! Love the layered stars that add just the right touch of dimension ! Sometimes I find it hard to use papers with a whole scene on them as I don’t want to cover it all up but yours turned out great !! And what a cutie…:-)
