Christmas Inspiration - Layouts


Do you take lots of pictures during the holidays?
I know I have and then when it comes time to scrapbooking them I'm just never inspired because year after year they are all so similiar that I admit I get bored of the same theme.

However the Design Team has created some fabulous layouts to share with you today that will definitely inspire you when you're creating your holiday themed layouts.


"From Santa"
Supplies: Imaginisce (Santa's Little Helper (papers, die-cuts), Foam Squares (red), i-rock & gems, My Little Shoebox (alpha stickers), twine


"My Little Elf on the Shelf"
Michelle used the POGO stick on the pom-pom of the elf and then added some glitter. She also added more glitter to the elf with Stickles and then used the Imaginisce Foam Tape to adhere the die-cuts to her layout.
Supplies: Imaginisce (Santa's Little Helper collection) POGO, Foam Tape, i-rock tool & Glam ROcks; Echo Park Dots & Strips, My Little Shoebox (alpha stickers), Glitter, Stickles

    My favorite thing about the holidays is doing things with my family and doing things FOR others (particularly my extended family). Such a happy season for me.

    My favorite thing about the holidays is the excitement and wonder of the little ones. My daughter just turned 3 and she squeals with delight at EVERY Christmas decoration we see, whether we are driving in the car or walking around our neighboorhood, she notices it all!
    It is so much fun to watch :)

    What gorgeous LOs!!! The tags on the first one are such a cute idea. The title and picture in the second one make an adorable LO and the third one is such a simple yet interesting design for showing off the three photos.
    Thanks for sharing them! :)
