December to Remember
Hello! It's Jennifer on the blog today sharing layouts I created with the new Mistletoe Kisses collection! I always appreciate a Christmas line that has non-traditional colors and Mistletoe Kisses hits the target! The soft blues and pinks with hints of red and green are perfect for your fun holiday themed projects! I'm one of those moms that tries to do separate scrapbooks for my kids so many times I'm scrapping the same photo twice! Mistletoe Kisses has great colors for your favorite girl!
For my first layout, "Believe", I combined pieces of the B sides of Holly Jolly and HO HO HO on white cardstock. To add a pop of color, I cut a strip of Christmas Magic and adhered it to the top of my page. A little stitching with my sewing machine finished my background! I then used cards from the 4x6 Horizontal Elements under my photo; this is a great way to utilize the journaling cards if you aren't going to save them for a mini album or pocket scrapbook!
How adorable are these trees? I used the multi-colored chipboard tree along with two of the die cuts from the Bits and Pieces pack! I then added a heart and sentiment sticker found on the Combo Cardstock Sticker Sheet to one of the trees!
I love the large variety of Simple Stories Cut Files found in the Silhouette shop! For my title, I cut the "Believe" script from white cardstock. I also added one of the cute typed sentiments found in the Bits and Pieces as well as strips of coordinating washi tape!
New to the Simple Stories collections are roller stamps! Here, I used the Classic Christmas Roller Stamp to stamps 'peace.love.joy' above my date; this stamp includes twelve different phrases to choose from!
I love this string of lights included on the 6x12 Chipboard Sheet! I adhered it to the top corner of my page to add some depth! And note the silver foil accent which gives the embellishments extra shine!

For my next layout, "Night Before Christmas", I again used white cardstock as my background. What can I say? I love white! :) I cut my cardstock down to 11x11 and adhered it to the B Side of Oh What Fun. Using a snowflake background from the Silhouette shop (again cut in white cardstock), I lightly misted with pink and light blue spray ink. Once dry, I added stitching around the edge of my page using my sewing machine.
Here is a close up of the misted background! I added a few of the coordinating Enamel Dots some of the centers of the snowflakes.
Even with the mini collections, you still have many different embellishments to choose from! I happen to love them all and often cluster my elements together! Here, I used a journaling spot and die cut snowflakes from the Bits and Pieces pack! The chipboard snowman is adorable, too!
I also love the variety of sentiment stickers on the Combo Cardstock Sticker sheet! Here, I used one as my title along with a cute light bulb and Enamel Dots! The "it's a wonderful life" sentiment is from the Classic Christmas 4x6 Sticker Sheet set!
One of my favorite new embellishment are the Decorative Clips! They are perfect to add to the top of your photo or at the top of a page in a mini album!
