Cozy Christmas Layouts

Cozy Christmas Layouts

Hi everyone!  It's Wendy with you today to share some recent layouts I made using the Cozy Christmas collections!

My layout Dec 25 came together in just a short amount of time with the use of the SN@P! Cuts card. conveniently also my title.  I placed my pictures on either side of the card, but I needed a little more interest to my page - hello SN@P! Journal Page!  These pages work great on layouts, and it just takes a little creative planning to cover the holes.  A border strip grounds my design and gives it some visual interest.  I love the border strip of stamps and couldn't resist cutting them out to use as elements scattered on my page.  

A few die cut pieces and chipboard finished out this simple page.

 

Sometimes you just have to make a layout based on the product; when I saw the sticker "We can build a snowman", my layout Meeting Olaf was born.  Even though I was working with a Christmas collection, this picture was taken in the summer, so just have fun with papers and make them work for you!

My design was very similar in this layout as my Dec 25 layout (and a lot that I create), I used a border strip to ground my design and I used various Sn@p cards and Sn@p cuts to layer behind my photo.  These cards not only make great title and journaling spots, but the are so easy to layer behind your photos.  

You can see I snuck in another one of the fun stamps from the border at the top of my page.

A few sprinkles scattered throughout my page (You can see a fun tip here, http://www.simplestories.com/blog/autumn  for placement.) were the final touches.

I hope you were inspired to pull out your collections and just play, make them fit and just enjoy creating!
