CHRISTMAS MAGIC SCRAPBOOK LAYOUT | with Caroli

As a Christmas big enthusiast, I have a lot of traditions and one of them is collecting Christmas socks. Last year I took few pics of some of my fave socks and I decided to document this silly tradition on my scrapbooks. 

I made a simple layout with two diecuts columns on right and left extremes of the page. I used a cut file from Silhouette Design Store called "Christmas Ornament Border Edge Card" by Lori Whitlock, which actually is a card file, but I adjusted in order to make it cover the whole page.
I backed the cut file with patterned paper from the 6x6 inches pad, and used some diecuts from the Odds & Ends and the Chit Chat packages, as well as some Doodle Pops for embellishing. 
I love these little mistletoe Doddle they are perfecto for embellishing the diecuts of the Odds & Ends package and make them even cuter, if possible!

For my title I cut word "socks" using my Silhouette Cameo and font "Sacramento", which you can download from free from the internet.
Of course I wrote a bit about my socks collection and why I do love them, journaling is a very important element of my layouts always.

I love how clean this design is, but at the same time is filled with little details and is very eye catching. I also love that it documents silly random stuff like my socks collection, this is what life is all made after all!

Thank you for stopping by today, hope you liked this layout idea and maybe give it a try yourself!
Have a lovely day!

CHRISTMAS MAGIC GIFT CARD BANNER | with Traci

My kids always like getting gift cards in their stocking, so when I saw this adorable stocking cut file, it gave me a fun idea.  I'll hang this banner up on Christmas morning.  It will be a festive decoration, and a cute way to dress up these little cards.
To make the stockings, I downloaded the cutting file from Lori Whitlock's SVG shop here >> Doodlebug Milk & Cookies Stocking. I separated the pieces and just kept the stocking base and white cuff portions. I enlarged the pieces so that the stocking measured 6.3" wide x 9.8" long.  
I cut out 4 stockings from thin chipboard, and 4 from white card stock. I made an internal offset of the stocking (set at 0.125) for the pattern paper and cut out 4 different patterns. I layered the chipboard, white card stock, and pattern papers, and then cut out and adhered the white cuff to the top.  I added names to each stocking using my cutting machine and this font file by Lori Whitlock. 
I adhered Doodlebug's 3x3 scallop envelopes to the back of the stockings so that gift cards could slide in, and then had lots of fun embellishing each stocking with Christmas Magic odds & ends, doodle pops, and jelly clips.
Finally, I strung a ribbon through the stocking loops and secured it to the chipboard with help from the jelly clips.  This was a really fun project and I can't wait to hang it up on Christmas morning!
