Photography Background Decorations

Hello everyone! This is Java Jen from JAVA JEN CREATIONS, here for my very first time! So excited to be a part of this fantastic blog! Thank you, Pam, for the invitation!

Today, I chose to share with you some decorations that I made for my daughter to use on her photography background for Christmas pictures.  I was so pleased with how they turned out and they looked amazing in her pictures, if I do say so myself! :-) Here is a finished picture and then I will share details:

Cricut cartridges used:
Pretty Pennants
Art Deco
When It's Cold Outside

I decided to keep the colors neutral since, with Christmas pictures, the subjects clothing tends to be colorful! :-) 

Here are a few close-ups:
I backed the letters with gold foil paper. I love how it looks as it peeks through!

The detail of the snowflakes looks great on the black background! I used mini clothespins to hold the banner pieces on the twine.

When my daughter was done and took the backdrop down,  I hung the banner on our wall to display throughout the season! I plan on using it next year too, but I think I will add some extra color and decorations to it for some variety! 


Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to stop by my blog, JAVA JEN CREATIONS, on Thursday because I will be sharing this project with some actual pics that were taken using these decorations! 

Until next time, create something beautiful!
