OH WHAT FUN HOLLY JOLLY HAPPY HOLIDAYS LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends!! Happy Christmas week! I hope you have the best holiday season friends. I'm thrilled to share another layout using the Oh What Fun collection. We LOVE advent calendars in our house, so I thought it would be fun to document one of our favorite festive traditions. Annie got a Little People calendar last year and she absolutely loved opening a door every day. Here's my layout: 

I wanted a fun design on this page, so I took the Here Comes Santa 12x12 paper and trimmed it down to an 8.5x8.5 square. I also trimmed the Check The Halls 12x12 paper down to an 8x8 square and lastly, I trimmed the Spot of Cheer paper to a 7x7 square. I layered them all together from biggest to smallest, turned them on their side and centered them on a piece of white textured cardstock. I thought it would make a fun foundation for my photos and embellishments.

I think it's fun to print photos at different, non-traditional sizes so I used a collage layout from the app Pic Stitch and arranged 4 different photos on the layout. I matted them using a pink paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad (to match her pjs) and adhered them down using foam tape. The longer photo is such a fun way to display a cute moment!

I built a few embellishment clusters around the photos using the adorable Hello Santa Doodle-Pop as well as a few pieces from both the Bits & Pieces and the Odds & Ends packs. I wanted to add a lot of toys, elves and Santa type pieces since the photos are playful and fun.

In lieu of one large title piece like I usually have, I opted to choose two phrases from the Puffy Words sticker sheet. I adhered them along the top left and bottom right angles and made sure to choose the colorful words to pop off the page even more. I love how it turned out!!!! It really has the viewer moving their eyes around the whole page.

For some last minute touches, I added in a few Oh What Fun Sprinkles and a cute 'traditions' tab at the top of one of the smaller photos. Here's one last look:

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. Happy Holidays and I'll see you in my next post!

OH WHAT FUN MERRY & BRIGHT LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna back again today sharing another layout using the Oh What Fun collection. I'm having so much fun working with this collection and documenting some of our holiday memories. I realized I hadn't scrapbooked some photos of my girl in front of the Christmas tree last year so I immediately got to work! Here's my page: 

When I first received this collection, I saw the new Shakers and knew that a shaker element of some kind was in my near future. I couldn't resist and thought it would be fun to create one for this page. I needed something to create my shaker element in, so I went through the 12x12 patterned papers to see if there was something that I could use. I saw the large tags on the Spot of Cheer paper and immediately started trimming three of them out. I figured I could create my shaker in one of them and here's how I did it.

I trimmed out a square in the middle of the blue one to create my "window". I then took the super adorable Christmas Magic Heavyweight Acetate, trimmed a piece out that was large enough to cover the window and adhered it to the backside of my tag. Next, I took some narrow foam strips and applied it around the perimeter of my window. I carefully poured in some of the Christmas Confetti Shakers mix and then closed the back of my shaker using a scrap piece of vellum from my stash. I love how it turned out!!

Next, I went ahead and added some colored eyelets from my stash to each tag and then tied some Doodlebug Twine through each one. I set them aside and worked on the base for my page. I chose a piece of white cardstock from my stash as the base and then adhered both the A and B sides of the All Spruced Up 12x12 paper to the middle. The colorful trees are the perfect pattern for my photo! I then arranged and layered the three tags together and adhered them down. I matted my photo using the 6x8 Paper Pad and got that adhered down as well. I'm really loving all of the patterns and bright, happy colors all together.

For my title, I chose a phrase from the Chit Chat pack and thought it would fit perfectly on the left side tag. I love how the title and my photo sandwich the shaker element. So fun! 

I wanted to decorate the shaker element a little more and I thought the Santa's Elves Doodle-Pop stickers were perfect for it! They're so playful and I love the touch of whimsy that they add to my girls page.

Next, I added my journaling onto one of the little notebook die cuts from the Bits & Pieces pack. I centered it right under my tag and adhered it down. I then started to embellish and tried to keep it at a minimum since my page was already pretty busy. I simply added a few Oh What Fun Sprinkles in some spots and then tucked a few trees from the Odds & Ends pack into the outside of the tags.

Here's one last look at this super cute page: 

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. I'll see you in my next post friends!

OH WHAT FUN SWEET HOLLY JOLLY CHISTMAS LAYOUT | with Nathalie

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you look! So, let's get festive with the beautiful Oh What Fun collection and document your memories in style.   The colors, designs, and festive feeling of the collection if perfect for your holiday projects, and this time I am using it to document one of my family photos from 15 years ago (my kids were so little, and my niece was tiny).  Let's take a look at the project:

I love adding dimension and texture to my pages, so the idea of hanging banners helps to combine them both in a seamlessly while bringing a lot of interest to the page. 

I used pieces of the Christmas Eve paper, Spruced up paper and 6x8 paper pad to create the banners for this spread.  I used a pencil to help me form the curl at the top of the banner before hanging them in place on the white cardstock from the coordinating cardstock pack.

I used a pair of eyelets to help me with the design of the page.  This was an easy way to run some Doodle Twine.   I did a double loop, so the first holds the banners, then the other ties into a bow at the top of the banners on the left.

I used papers from the 6x8 paper pad to frame my photo.  Once I placed it on the spread, I used a combination of embellishments to create a cluster on the top left corner of the picture.  I used the bottom right corner of the photo for a place to add my title.  

To balance the page, I added one of the scalloped border stickers to the bottom of the page, and created a small cluster right below the banners.    To end the spread, I added a few Sprinkles around each of the clusters.  

I hope this inspires you to create with the fun Oh What Fun collection, you are going to love your projects! XO

OH WHAT FUN - HO HO HO LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here today and I had so much fun working with the Oh What Fun collection again this week. This collection just screams happy and you just can't help but get in the holiday spirit while creating with it. Here's my page: 

When I originally received this collection, I immediately noticed the trees in rainbow colors. I wanted to make a layout that would have them as a main focus (other than my photos of course), so I pulled the ones from the Odds & Ends pack. I set my trees aside and built my base using the Merry & Bright 12x12 patterned paper. I then took the white cardstock from the coordinating Solid Assortment 12x12 pack and trimmed it down to a 10x10. I matted it using the Bubblegum pink cardstock that I trimmed to a 10.5x10.5 size. I adhered them both down to my Merry & Bright paper. The border of the pink cardstock really makes my white cardstock pop on top of the stripes. I'm really glad that I added it!

Next, I lined up all of my trees and put them in rainbow order. I thought it would be fun to grab an extra Christmas tree with lights and put it right in the center. Before I adhered them, I made sure to pop them all up on foam tape for some dimension and interest. I also added some of the stars from the Christmas Eve Shape Sprinkles to the tops of each one. They came out so cute and I love how they pop at the top of my page.

I took my trio of photos and matted them with one of the 6x8 papers. I chose to print them in black and white so the colors in my photos wouldn't compete with the colors in the collection. My photos were taken in front of our Christmas tree so they're a bit dark and I thought it would be best to not print them in color.  

For my title, I chose the three "Ho Ho Ho' words and adhered them above my photos so that they would be right in the center. I love how it turned out!

I really wanted to keep the embellishments to a minimum since my original idea was to have the trees has one of the focal points. So, I simply added a Santa and the bag of toys die cuts from the Odds & Ends pack and adhered them on each side of my photos. I also sprinkled in a few of the candy canes from the Puffy Icons sticker sheet since my daughter is wearing candy cane pajamas and she's holding a candy cane ornament. Gotta love a little theme!

Lastly, I thought the top of my design needed a little something, so I pulled out a "Merry Christmas" banner from the Chit Chat pack and added it in. To take it a step further, I pulled the adorable little red birds from the Deer Friends Doodle-Pop and adhered them to each side of it. It looks like they're holding the banner with their little mouths... So cute! Here's one last look: 

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. I'll see you in my next post friends!!

OH WHAT FUN - A VISIT WITH SANTA LAYOUT | with Tya

Hello friends! There's nothing that says Christmas Magic quite like a visit with Santa! I pulled out the whimsical new Oh What Fun collection to document these sweet photos of my nephews visiting the jolly man himself. Between the bright colors, cheerful icons, and playful patterns, this layout came together like a holiday dream - full of fun, sparkle, and a whole lot of festive joy! 

Let me talk you through how I put this cutie together! 

I started with the pretty red "Festive Flannel "paper for my base, which instantly gave the page a cozy Christmas feel. On top of that, I added a faux stitched white cardstock layer to help all those bright Doodlebug colors pop! I used the cute  "All Spruced Up" Christmas tree patterned paper from the collection to create a fun background block across the middle — the perfect spot for my big Santa embellishment and title. This little cluster is made with die cuts from the Chit Chat and Odds and Ends die cut packs. I also added a strip of green scallop border stickers along the top of my tree paper. That is from the This and That Sticker Sheet.

Notice the fun "Oh What Fun" Sprinkles I added to the Christmas Tree die cut for some added shine to this little bunch of embellishments. 

I matted each of my photos on blue cardstock from the Oh What Fun Solid Assortment pack to create a crisp contrast and tied Bumblebee Doodle Twine around them for a playful pop of texture. I arranged the four photos in a grid to show each of my nephews meeting Santa.  For my journaling, I printed simple strips that tell the story behind these photos. It’s a sweet reminder of how special these little traditions are year after year. 

The string of colorful Christmas lights across the top corner adds the perfect finishing touch — it feels like Santa’s workshop come to life!  This is from the Chit Chat die cuts. To bump up this embellishment, I added some Christmas Lights Shape Sprinkles on every other light. Just look at that shine!  Love it! 

 To make each picture stand out, I tucked in little die cuts, word strips, and labels from the Bits & Pieces pack — like the rainbow-striped tab with a heart on top and the “Santa Season” label above one of the photos. These are all from the Odd and Ends and Bits and Pieces die cuts. I also sprinkled in snowflake and star acetate shapes from the Odds and Ends throughout the layout to keep things balanced and full of sparkle. Each detail helps capture the joyful chaos and excitement that comes with our annual Santa visit. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this festive page inspires you to pull out your Oh What Fun collection and create a few merry and bright Christmas layouts of your own. Whether it’s photos with Santa or just holiday moments around the tree, this cheerful collection will help you capture all the joy of the season. Happy crafting and Merry Christmas! ❤️

OH WHAT FUN | OH WHAT FUN LAYOUT | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here and I'm feeling festive for this upcoming holiday season. What better way to kick it off than with the beautiful and brand new Oh What Fun collection!! When I tell you I'm in LOVE with this collection, I mean it!! The colors... the classic red and green with the blues and pinks thrown in. I love it. It's so happy and fun. Here's my page, I had myself a great time creating it: 

Before I even started on my page, I brainstormed and knew that I wanted to somehow create a tree using a bunch of patterned papers. So, I went ahead and pulled out the 6x8 Paper Pad and cut squares with the largest being a 6x6 and the smallest a 1x1. I folded them in half to create a triangle and made sure to leave about a 1/4 inch of the backside of each paper visible. This would add even more colors and pattern to my tree. After all of my triangles were folded, I layered them from largest to smallest to build my tree. I LOVE how it came out!!

For my base, I used a piece of Lily White cardstock and trimmed it down to an 11x11 size. I matted it on a piece of Ladybug red cardstock that was trimmed to an 11.5x11.5 size. I then took both papers and matted them to the 12x12 Merry & Bright patterned paper from the collection. I love the horizontal striped peeking behind the bold red cardstock!

For the base of my tree, I pulled out the Kraft cardstock from the Made With Love Solid Assortment pack and trimmed it down to a 2x1 piece. I adhered it at the bottom of my tree and it really completed it! I of course needed some presents under the tree, so I grabbed a bunch from the Odds & Ends pack and adhered them down. They're so cute under there. I then added my two photos and included one of the phrase pieces from the Chit Chat pack right on top of one of them. 

For my title, I chose another phrase piece from the Chit Chat pack and popped it up on foam tape. I thought that the top of my layout needed something, so that piece fit nicely up at the top left. To fill the top right side of my page, I added the adorable Santa in the airplane. It was the perfect piece to put up there. 

For some finishing touches, I sprinkled in additional presents from the Puffy Icons stickers and then added in a few stars from the Christmas Eve Shape Sprinkles pack. I also made sure to add a little yellow star to the top of my tree! Here's one last look: 

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. I'll see you in my next post friends!

TINSEL TIME CHRISTMAS LIGHTS LAYOUT | with Tarrah

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful day celebrating! Have you got the new Tinsel Time collection yet? It is SO beautiful and perfect to document all of your Christmas memories. Each year our family loves to go and see all the Christmas lights displays in our area and the Tinsel Time collection captures some of the photos I took brilliantly.

I first chose 3 background patterned papers from the Tinsel Time collection, they were the 'B' side of 'Berry Merry', the 'B' side of 'Snow Bright' and the 'B' side of 'Tree Trimmings'. I kept the Berry Merry paper at 12' x 12' and trimmed down the Snow Bright paper to 11' x 11' and the Tree Trimmings paper to 10' x 10' and adhered them all together so there were bordered of each paper.

I chose a Christmas Lights cut file to go with the theme of my page and backed it with the 6' x 6' paper pad version of the Berry Merry paper. I then adhered the cut file to the centre of the papers using foam tape. I added 2 photos, 1 in the top left of the cut file and 1 in the bottom right of the cut file also using foam tape.

Next was my favorite part, embellishing!!! I placed the beautiful pink Christmas Cottage Doodle Pop to the bottom left corner of the cut file, Doodle Pops are my favorite! How about you?! I placed the stocking die-cut from the Bits and Pieces pack at the bottom of the cut file and also added the strings of lights also from the Bits and Pieces pack. I placed the Twinkle Lights Shape Sprinkles over the top of the light die-cuts.

The house and foliage die-cut is from the Bits and Pieces pack and the lamp post die-cut is from the Odds and Ends pack. I also added the lamp post from the Snow Wonderful Doodle Pop too. At the very top of my page, I took the individual lights and added them using foam tape and then added some silver twine to mimic the lights being hung as one strand.

I love how my layout turned out and I hope you enjoy reading how I created it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Happy creating!
