Christmas Wish Scrapbook Layout

I created this layout using the Very Merry Collection from Simple Stories. The floral papers in this collection are beautiful. I love how the red and green pops against the black background. I decided to scrap this black and white photo because I love how it looks with the colors in the collection. You'll notice from my other scrapbook layouts that I usually scrap only 1 photo per page. The photos I choose to scrap are my favorite photos. I decided a long time ago that I wouldn't scrap every photo. It was just too overwhelming to attempt to scrap all of them. By choosing only a few favorites I feel less stress and I can enjoy taking my time creating each layout!

Winter Scrapbook Layout - Flurries

I really love Simple Stories scrapbook papers and embellishments. The Freezin' Season Collection is adorable and very girly. The perfect collection to match my daughter's winter photos. It goes perfectly with her pink snowsuit! The little houses, trees and mountains are whimsical and cute. I used lots of adhesive foam dots to create dimension and machine stitching to add some additional texture to the layout. I added a lot of details to this page, but the adorable photo of my daughter is still the focal point of the layout. My daughter is now 20 and a junior in college. I'd say I'm a tad behind on my scrapbooking. I know a lot of you can relate!

Christmas Wooden Block - Winter Deer

This is the second wooden block I've made using lots of Tim Holtz products and techniques. The Tim Holtz pine cone paper was the starting point for my project. I knew I had to use it because it's absolutely gorgeous! Neutral colors and pops of gold were also used to create this wintry Christmas scene. I leave this piece out during the winter months because it doesn't look too Christmasy (is that a word?). I love the tiny Tim Holtz deer and trees that are adorned with gold baubles. The tiny packages wrapped in Tim Holtz papers complete the scene on top of the block. Tim Holtz dies were used to create the winter scene on the front of the block.
