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!

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you get some time to craft this holiday season! Why not start by using the Oh What Fun collection?! You will love it! Happy crafting!

OH WHAT FUN LAYOUT | with Traci

Happy Thanksgiving! Traci here and I hope everyone has a wonderful day filled with family, friends, laughter, and great food. Since Christmas is just around the corner, I made a 12x12 scrapbook page for my design team project that's perfect for photos of decorating a tree, Santa, a holiday show, and Christmas morning. 

I designed it with the bright and colorful Oh What Fun Collection, and ... it was oh so fun! To make it, I chose the petite prints plaid and polka dot in limeade for the base, then added white card stock on top.

I used a Marvy Uchida punch to cut 21 squares out of cute patterns from the 6x8 paper pad. The punch is 1 3/4" but you could also use a paper trimmer. I knew I wanted the design to be set on a diagonal, so I arranged the squares in rows with each row having one less square than the line above it.  

For the title, I cut the "Merry & Bright" words from the 12x12 Check the Halls paper and matted it with the red and white polka dot print called Here Comes Santa. Then, I made 2 photo mats with the same limeade plaid that I used for the base.

Time to embellish! I added lots of fun die cuts from the Odds & Ends. There are 203 pieces in the package so there are tons of great ones to choose from. I added colorful trees, gifts, elves, gingerbread, a bird, and some acetate stars / snowflakes. They're all so cute!

I hope this scrapbook layout and the fabulous Oh What Fun Collection gives you a little inspiration for your next project. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday filled with the warmth and happiness of the season. Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡

OH WHAT FUN HOLLY JOLLY LAYOUT | with Nathalie

It is starting to look a lot like Christmas around here!  That means time to dust past memories and get them documented with the new Oh What Fun collection.  The color palette, the cute designs, and the overall feel of the collection is just what you need to get your holiday memories documented in style.  Let's look at today's project.

I want to take advantage of the large tags in the Spot of Fun paper, as a means to frame my photos and bring a bit of movement to my page.  So, I trimmed two of them and added my photos to the front of each.

I reached for the Citrus Floral/Graph for the page background, then laid pieces of paper from the 6x8 paper pad, then added one of the scalloped borders from the This & That stickers to anchor everything to the page.

I then added the frames on a jaunty angle to the left side of the layout, so that they overlap each other.  The position brings them to a focal point in the layout and also set the placement of the title.

I added pieces of This & That stickers to the pictures just to bring a bit more of interest to each of the photos. Also, I used Limeade thin Twine to create bows with large tails at the top of the tags - the  ephemera piece was the inspiration for the long tails.

To finish the layout, I played with pieces of Chit Chat, Odds & Ends, Bits & Piece and Doodle-pops to  create my title.  Then a added a few sprinkles to complete the spread!

I love how this turned out, and I hope it inspires you to check the new Oh What Fun collection. XO

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!

TINSEL TIME MERRY & BRIGHT LAYOUT | with Tya

Hello there - I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and wish you and yours well for the upcoming new year! Sooo - now that Christmas has passed, it's the perfect time to dive into all of those festive photos and start preserving those magical memories in scrapbook layouts! For today's post, I'm sharing a fun and festive layout featuring the adorable Tinsel Town collection. As you can see, this cheerful collection is so bright and colorful - it was just a joy to create with!

I based my layout on a favorite photo from my recent trip to Disneyland - because what better way to relive the holiday magic than through a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth? Let's jump into all the details of this project!

I have always wanted to do a layout with a smattering of these 3D stars across it - I have a layout like this pinned to my favorite layout Pinterest board that features this type of embellishing and I knew that with these pretty colors, this would be a great collection and photo to do this embellishing!

My photo is backed with layers of textured cardstock and the pretty plaid paper on the Festive Floral paper is just the right touch for my photo. Since the photo was taken in front of the Christmas tree on Main Street, it seemed right to add a die-cut tree and lights to the layout. These are from the Odds and Ends and cute light strands are from the Bits and Pieces. I also added a few banner strips of pattern papers and Petite Prints from the collection. The silvery mulit -colored dots that I used for my background is the Snow Bright paper and it's perfect!

The "Merry and Bright" title is from the Chit Chat die cuts and I loved how it perfectly summed up my photo of me with my mom and girls - such a fun memory with them!

For my stars, I used a metal die and then used some Textured cardstock and Petite Prints to make them. I scored each point and then folded on the lines to make a few of them 3D. It really adds great dimension to the layout. I also added some little sparkle stickers from the Puffy Stickers, and some of the Sprinkles on some of the centers. For some added sparkle and shine - I used some Stickles glitter glue to accentuate some of the stars.

For my journaling on this layout, I decided to add some hidden journaling tucked behind my photo. I used one of the tags from the Bits and Pieces pack, typed up my journaling and added it to the tag. I topped the tag with some Cupcake Twine and a heart die cut. More sparkle from the Stickles was added here as well. If you find yourself not having a lot of room to journal on your layouts - this technique with the hidden tag is great!

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope this layout inspires you to pull out your favorite holiday photos, grab the Tinsel Town collection, and start creating beautiful layouts that beautifully capture your cherished memories. Scrapbooking is such a meaningful way to preserve these moments for future generations to enjoy and connect with. Wishing you all a season filled with joy, creativity, lots of color, and love - Happy Holidays and Happy Scrapping!

TINSEL TIME CHRISTMAS LAYOUT | with Nathalie

Just one more day until we celebrate the jolliest season of the year! I am sure that you are all ready to take the photos, eat the food, open the present, and make the memories. So what better way to relive them than to document them with the fun and beautiful Tinsel Time collection. I pulled some past memories of my children for today's layout:

I just love how this layout came together using a simple design and all the embellishments that I could add here.

I started by framing a piece of the coordinating cardstock with the Berry Merry, and Tinsel Time papers. Next, I pulled pieces from the Odds & Ends pack to create the light garlands under the bell bough at the top of the page.

I decided to back the photos with papers from the 6x6 pad, and then adhered to the base so that they sit right under the light strings. I mixed die cuts from the Bits & Pieces pack to create the large cluster to the right of the photos.

To complete the line of embellishments at the bottom of the photos, I added the cute reindeer Doodle Pop to the left of the photos and then pulled a piece of Chit Chat to create my title.

A few Sprinkles around the embellishments complete this page. I just love it! And I hope it gives you inspiration for your next crafty project featuring Tinsel Time!

I want to take this space to wish you all a blessed Christmas, and may 2025 be filled with joy and peace! XO
