Using another 'new, yet to be released' WOW chipboard

Thanks to the lovely Suzanne at WOW - Words or Whatever, I had the opportunity to play with some not yet released chipboard. These gorgeous little scrolls are soooo versatile. I've laid them in opposite directions and reversed them on this page but there are so many ways to lay them for a huge variety of looks. Use them individually, as a corner piece, with flowers amongst them and use any medium of color or texture for the look you desire. They are delightfully elegant and a must have in the chippy stash. They also came in their background card which is still sitting on my desk while I plan something for it. It does make a great mask for misting your pages using either both or one of the scroll shapes. A little tip - consider what else you can do with those chip sheets after you've taken the shape out. Masks, another embellishment, great to distress as the original shape and detail are not the feature .......

This page is one from our family Christmas day out. With so many of us all over the place, extended family,  blended family and more generations coming, one part of our family has been celebrating Christmas with a day out (or in if the weather is ordinary) somewhere. Last year we went to a combination fauna and fun park. The kids loved the face-painting ...... it's a real winner with kids of all ages.
