Pretty Paper

Does anyone else have a difficult time scrapping when you start off with an already beautiful sheet of paper?  This paper is from the Creative Memories Reminisce Heritage Addition pack (that was a mouthful).  I just found myself embellishing with the same images and colors that were on the "wallpaper sheet."  I like to think of the paper I use behind my pictures as wallpaper, covering the entire page.  Everything I add on top are like the things you might hang on a wall... framed pictures, signs, art, etc.

Musical Notions

To coordinate with pictures from a symphony Christmas concert, I wanted to make a page that was both Christmas and musc related.  I made music notes using a straight trimmer and a circle punch.   I used the cricut to cut out the treble cleff, but I think it would have been just as cute if I did not use the treble cleff.  Then I would have been able to fit more notes on it:).
