I am loving the Hard Candy Christmas collection by Simple
Stories!
This sweetly festive collection brings vibrant holiday cheer
with its playful mix of teals, pinks, reds, and whites, plus the cutest
candy-themed icons and motifs. It’s perfect for bright, fun festive layouts!
I used that fabulous swirl paper to cut circles, then
decorated them with Bits & Pieces, Foam Stickers, Decorative Brads, and
Enamel Dots. I just love how colourful and fun it turned out!
More Simple Vintage Flannel Season
collection! For this layout I decided to cut one of those adorable flannel prints in half
diagonally. I then pieced another quarter triangle into the top section of the page,
again showcasing both sides of one paper on a single layout! I left the final
quarter triangle free of patterned paper… so of course, I filled it up with
embellishments!
I used a family photo from last year, which I placed almost
in the centre of the layout (but not quite!). I wanted it to cross the divide
between the papers, creating a nice flow across the page. I then began
clustering lots of beautiful Floral Bits around the top left corner of the
photo.
For my title, I used the cute ‘let’s stay in’ Foam Sticker,
placing it along the diagonal line. It crosses the corner of my photo, a
slightly quirky placement, but I love how it looks!
I continued tucking in more florals and a big bow from the
Bits & Pieces in that section of the layout. I also added in a few
snowflakes to fill some of the remaining white space.
Over on the right-hand side, I added a pretty blue bow to
the corner of my photo, along with a few phrase stickers from the Cardstock
Stickers. They say things like ‘winter joy’ and ‘winter is warmer with you’, I
always love adding little phrases like these to my layouts!
To finish, I added some Decorative Brads, handwrote my
journaling in the diagonal gap between the patterned papers, and splattered a
few touches of white paint for that snowy finish.
I love how this one turned out, it was so fun to make, and
the Simple Vintage Flannel Season collection is just perfect for all those cozy
winter memories!
Wrap your winter memories in warmth with the Simple Vintage
Flannel Season collection from Simple Stories, a cozy, winter woodland
collection that’s perfect for all your winter scrapbooking! This line features
gorgeous deep reds, forest greens, navy and teal tones, with browns and crisp
whites creating a rustic yet festive feel. It’s packed full of adorable icons
and motifs such as vintage snowmen, forest animals, and pinecones…I just love
it!
For this layout, I went for a split design so I could
showcase both sides of one paper. On one side, I used the blue polka dot print,
and on the other, the cute woodland trees. I paired my photo with a large tag
from the Big Bits pack that features the vintage sweetest snowman on a sledge.
I carefully cut around him so I could tuck the corner of my photo underneath.
I created a large cluster in this area using Bits &
Pieces, Floral Bits, and labels, which I arranged around my photo. I love the
little cardinals in this collection, I included one sitting amongst the
foliage, and it looks so sweet!
For my title, I used the phrase ‘let it snow’ in flannel
print from the Foam Stickers. My photo is a bit of a stretch… we don’t get much
snow in my part of the UK, and this very light dusting was all we got last
year! It didn’t stop my little boy from being super excited though, he even
managed to make a snowball from it and throw it at me!
To balance out the large cluster, I added a smaller one on
the right side of the layout with some pretty florals, a bow, and a few phrase
pieces. I also added my handwritten journaling in this area.
I finished off with some Decorative Brads and a few
splatters of white paint for that perfect snowy touch.
Thanks so much for joining me today, and happy scrapping!
Hey everyone! Here’s the layout I created for GoGo Getaway’s
final-ever Cybercrop…we’ll be closing our doors at the end of 2025. 💔
The challenge I set was a quote challenge using one of my
festive favourites from the movie Elf: “I just like to smile, smiling’s my
favourite!” I interpreted it by scrapping an oversized, super-smiley photo of
my family all dressed up in our Christmas gear.
I worked with last year’s Santa’s Village collection by
Simple Stories, adding a bold patterned paper strip along the bottom and a
large title cluster to the right of my enlarged photo. A small embellishment
cluster at the top helps balance the design.
I’m so happy with how cheerful and festive this one turned
out!
I enjoyed playing along with this month’s @fortheloveofprettypaper
sketch! I loved that large area of patterned paper and the two photo strips
gave me lots of room for multiple photos!
I’ve scrapped eight photos of our
resident elves getting up to their antics at nighttime. I stayed quite true to the sketch and added embellishment
areas both to the left and right of the strips together with my title. I’ve
used last year’s Santa’s Village collection by Simple Stories.
Head over to the For the Love of Pretty Paper Facebook Group
to join in and play along with this month’s challenge, have fun!
