A Very Merry Christmas

A Very Merry Christmas

Hello there! Today I'm sharing two layouts created using the Classic Christmas collection! There is nothing like a classic Christmas color scheme, and the added gold foil touches are just lovely.

 

My first layout was inspired by the poinsettias featured throughout the collection. I found a cut file in the Silhouette store that allowed me to layer petals on top of one another to create a full flower. This could easily be done with scissors and paper as well! I used two different reds for the petals, and glued the flower down at the center of my page. I placed my photo in the center of the flower, and added a couple of journaling cards as layers. I don't do pocket pages, but I ALWAYS pick up a SN@P pack because they make such wonderful layers!
 

For my title, I mixed the sticker sheet and chipboard to create "Joy & Cheer". I kept most of my embellishing pretty simple since the flower is the center of attention. A few die cuts and clear stickers were all I needed! Finally, I finished the page with a stitched border.
 

 
This next layout is my favorite! I wanted to use several family photos from Christmas Eve. They are blurry and not great lighting, but they capture important traditions and moments we share. I wanted to emphasize the togetherness that happens at Christmas, and the song "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" kept coming to mind, I typed it out in Silhouette Studio, and cut it out from a background paper using my Cameo. 
 
 
I emphasized a few of my favorite lines by backing them in a brighter color. I used a photo editing website to create tiny photo strips for my layout. I backed them on SN@P cards for easy layering! I stitched around the layers in gold for added interest. I fussy cut poinsettias from patterned paper, and placed them around my photo. My title is a beautiful gold chipboard element!
 
 
While looking to find a finishing touch, I stumbled upon a perfect sticker that says "All Hearts Come Home for Christmas". I love that sentiment, and I feel like that sticker was meant for this page!
 
 
I had so much fun creating these festive layouts, and I am definitely in the mood to scrap more Christmas pictures! Thank you for joining me today, I hope you feel inspired to use the Classic Christmas collection!
