Papertrey November 2012 Blog Hop









Cover Art Inspiration is a great excuse to pull out all your favorite images and just have a go at it.






I was inspired by the Weekend Londen cover that
piled image upon image in all sorts of fun colors.

No masking or order required~




I loved merging all these images together and overlapping them.



It's what's best about this season...wonderful memories and events all colliding in one brief moment.


There's nothing neat and tidy about Christmas~


it's probably the most emotional time of the year.


There are tears and laughter~


with old memories meeting with new traditions.




I'm looking forward to this being the best....
