JYC 2010: December 6

Tale of two christmases is the prompt. On the right is a photo of me and my closest co-workers decorating our tiny tree.
On the left, I adhered the colored image on a folded white paper so as to make a sort of card that I adhered on the page and I used the inside for my journaling. On the back of the "card" I left a pocket for the dated journaling spot.

I colored the image with my copics, I decided to color only the people and the rest is just touched with Antique Linen distress inks, I did it this way in cohesion with the journaling I did inside that is it doesn't mind where you are what you wear, etc, the only thing that matters is to be with your loved ones.
Of course I lightly added some shine with the clear Sakura Stardust!

The idea for this piece came from a Tim Holtz tutorial about making a flower with tissue tape, I used ribbon instead and on top I adhered a printed sentiment.

Now that I see it again it looks like an winner's award ribbon,  LOL!
