Imaginisce Polar Expressions

I totally love everything that Imaginisce bring out, and the Polar Expressions range is no exception. The papers are just divine, and I just love the polar bears and the cute little bird with the ear muffs. I am determined to use up every little bit of this range, and I have quite a few works in progress, but here is what I have finished so far...

I was going to call this layout "Secret Santa" and journal about how my dad sometimes dresses up as Santa and visits the kids on Christmas Eve. He didnt do it last year because I thought they might work out who it was, as they are getting older and a bit more clued on. But when they were looking at this photo as I was making the page, all they saw was Santa, not Poppy, so I just called it "We Love Santa".

This next layout was made using a sketch over at Scraps of Us. I quite liked the sketch and the page came together so quickly. That photo of the kids was taken a few years ago, and I used it on some of my Christmas cards but I still hadnt scrapped it, so it was good to finally get it done.

This frame was made using a plain wooden frame that I've had lying around for ages. I just painted it, and then covered it with papers. It looked a bit plain so I made a little scalloped frame for around the photo. (I am so addicted to scallops!) And dont you just adore that little polar bear?

And lastly for now, here is a few gifty things that I've made - an altered tin, gift tag and card. I used the I-top tool to make the brads on the card and the tag, and I totally love it! There are loads of projects using this range on the Imaginisce blog so make sure you go and check it out.
