Santa Clause Scrapbook Layout

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – time for the annual 25 Days Of Christmas Movies Blog Hop! #ChristmasMoviesHop

We have 25 talented bloggers gathered together to share with you all the wonderful crafts and recipes you can make this Christmas season, based off of some of the most beloved holiday classic films. There are 25 films to be inspired by for your holiday season, and 25 talented bloggers to aid your inspiration! If you love Christmas movies, you have come to the right place!!

Hey Crafty Friends!  I’m very happy to be joining everyone again for another 25 Days of Christmas Movies blog.  Last year I did a mini album based on the Santa Clause 3 movie.  This year I created a Santa Clause Scrapbook Layout based on the first movie.

Need a quick and easy santa layout with room for lots of photos. Come see my Santa Clause Scrapbook Layout featuring four photos.

My original intention with this layout was to use photos of our kids breakfast with Santa outing that our school does as a fundraiser every year.  Unfortunately, this year it fell after the hop so I didn’t have any photos.  What I did instead was created the layout and made white holding places for the photos.  This is a great idea if you want to make something in advance or if you’re making an album for a gift. These photos are 4×6 and there 3×3.  I love how there are lots of photos, but still white space on the layout.  It doesn’t feel over crowded.

I think my favorite parts about this layout are the little details.  The journalling strips inked in red to match the red paper strip and the red photo mat.  The chipboard title embossed in gold.  For me it’s those little details that make a layout look cohesive.

Thank you for joining me this year for my Santa Clause Scrapbook Layout.  If you’d like to see the mini album I created last year inspired by the 3rd Santa Clause movie it can be found here.

FabScraps Artist Trading Coin Blog Hop

The Details:

I had made artist trading cards before, but had never heard of an artist trading coin.  The other ladies were very gracious in teaching me.  You start with a circle that is 2.5 inches in diameter, and then alter from there.

I used the Fabscraps collection C103 called coffee confessions for my coins.  The first one I used the clear stickers that I placed on white paper to make them stand out from the patterned background.  This is how I tend to use clear stickers because otherwise I feel like they get lost.

For my second coin I used some die cuts from the carders pack, and added some doodling and tiny word stickers.  You don’t have to add a million layers to make something really cute.  Don’t get me wrong I love a good layer, but I felt like anything more distracted from the die cut.

And then last but not least is what I’d call the center of my trio. I added a doily to the card so it’s bigger than 2.5, but I figured artist freedom allowed that 🙂  To add texture to the background I used the stencil from the collection with some distress ink, and then popped up another die-cut from the carders pack.

FabScraps Artist Trading Coin Blog Hop

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my newest paper adventure, and I’d love to see what you do if you try your hand and creating some.  Don’t forget to hop on over to all the other ladies and leave them some love.  Not only will you get loads of inspiration you’ll have the chance to win the giveaway!  Really, who doesn’t love a giveaway 🙂  Until next time….stay crafty!

One Year Old Birthday Girl Scrapbook Layout

Hey crafty friends!  Welcome to another layout reveal!  This time I combined two things to create this one year old birthday girl scrapbook layout.  I used the tic tac toe challenge from my Southern Girls Challenge team, and the new A Moment in Time collection from my FabScraps team.  For me they combined to create a lovely layout for our girl.

On the tic tact toe board the first line was bling, lace and white.  This photo shows you all of that in one shot.  I embossed the FabScraps piece with gold embossing powder, snipped it apart to use in two places, and back it in black…bling!  The doily is obviously white, and my background paper looks like lace.  I also have two other papers that look like they have lace on it behind the photo.

I backed all my layers with black cardstock, and the layout as a whole, because it made it pop off the lace paper so nicely.  I also added more bling with gold enamel dots and gold ink.  The flower embellishments are form Hobby Lobby and I’ve had them in my stash for about two years so I’m not sure if they would be available still.  I really need to expand my stash of flowers as little miss gets older.

So for the final reveal….
