When I saw the sketch templates from Simple Scrapper's February collection, I had an idea immediately come to mind. A cut file purchased from the Silhouette Design Store (and some wrangling to get the file to download) later, I had the basis for a simple and striking layout.
To fit the corner of the 6x8 layout I sized the photo to be pretty tiny - 1.5 x 2 inches - but that seems perfect from a blokeh photo of my Christmas tree. To not overwhelm the small photo I cut the wreath from the same dark colour as in the photo. A few gold sparkles are the only embellishment needed.
I'm really pleased with how this layout turned out. Neither photo or story dominate the shape on the layout, which I think tends to be my norm, but sometimes it's fun to play with products. :)
