It's the middle of November, which blows my mind, and that means it's time for the November blog hop from Echo Park, a chance to check out some EP inspiration and get an opportunity for a collection pack of your choice. Yay!
For this blog hop I made time to play with This & That, one of the EP Christmas collections, which is the perfect addition to the December album I will be working on next month. I'll be sharing my cover this week.
For my layout I used a photo from our Christmas Card photo shoot that my sister did last year. I think this photo just tells a bit of our story. Steve was trying to get the garland lined out and the girls were helping him. I feel like it shared a bit more of their personalities which is why it made for a great layout.

My journaling was done with a white pen which showed up really well on this great woodgrain.
I used some circle punches for the garland and mounted some of them on pop dots to help them stand out. I also added some fun brads from this collection to dress it up and add some color. I thought the garland was a fun addition to add to the photo. The tag is mine, the snowflake is a punch, and the trims are from May Arts.
