OH WHAT FUN MERRY CHRISTMAS LAYOUT | with Tarrah

The holiday season is the perfect time to get creative, and today I’m sharing a festive layout that will make your memories shine! Using the super cute and gorgeous Oh What Fun Collection, I created a playful Christmas tree design that’s bursting with color, cheer, and adorable details.

Instead of a traditional tree, I built a tree shape using stickers and embellishments from the Chit Chat, Odds and Ends, Bits and Pieces packs, This and That stickers, Shape Sprinkles, Puffy stickers and of course some Doodle Pops! This design draws the eye straight to the center where the photo sits, making it the star of the show while surrounded by holiday magic.

Base & Background: I started with a crisp white cardstock background framed with a bright red patterned paper for a pop of color.

Tree Shape: The tree is formed by layering gift box die-cuts and stickers in a triangular arrangement. Each piece adds texture and dimension, creating a fun stacked-present look. I adhered 90% of the embellishments using foam tape to create that dimension and shadows.

Photo Placement: The photo is nestled in the center of the tree, framed by cheerful elements like candy canes, bows, and gingerbread characters.

The Oh What Fun Collection is packed with gorgeous whimsical icons—elves, ornaments, toys, gingerbread people, stars, and sweet treats. I added: Doodle-Pops for a 3D effect, Shape Sprinkles and Puffy stickers to fill in gaps and add pops of color, A star sticker at the top to complete the tree look and A festive light garland die-cut topped with Shape Sprinkles to enhance it across the top of the page for extra holiday charm.

To tie everything together, I added a stitched border around the layout and a playful “Merry Christmas” sentiment at the bottom. The result? A bright, joyful page that captures the spirit of the season. I love how this layout turned out and I love that it’s a creative way to showcase a single photo while using up lots of fun embellishments. Plus, the tree shape makes it instantly festive!
