For this page I did something creative - well I thought so anyway. I began with some dark green 12x12 cardstock for the background. Then the "Santas" on the left side of the page were part of a 12x12 paper. (the red plaid at the bottom was all one sheet).
I opted to cut out the Santas from it's original paper - I thought it was too busy with all the plaid. When I was trying to place it on the green cardstock it seemed like it needed something. So I ended up pasting on a portion of the red plaid afterall - and then put the "title" on over that in matting. The "1st Christmas" was a shadowed font from the cricut. "Vegas" is from some letter punch-outs.
To add some contrast I added another lighter layer of green paper to the right side of the page. I then trimmed my photos down at the top - I believe they were 3x3 or very close to it. Then I also put the skyline shot of Caesar's Palace (which was taken from our hotel room) and put that at the center of the page. I had some bracket embellishments that I put over the Vegas photo to get if a little pizazz.
To finish I put two brads on the right side of the page.
