Here is another Christmas-themed scrapbook layout, suitable for Christmas tree photos. It is a 2-page 12×12 scrapbook layout. (Click on each image to view a larger version of it.)
The background pages are from the Holiday Lounge Designer Series paper pack. The original paper had the trees in a different color (Taken with Teal) – that didn’t match my photos. So I cut out my trees from different Designer Series paper (Merry Moments) that did match my photos. Then I just adhered them on top of the paper!
Original "Holiday Lounge" Designer Series Paper
I made “tree trunks” from grosgrain ribbon. One end of the ribbon is adhered underneath my cut-out trees and the other end is adhered to the back of the pages.

Ready to start scrapbooking your Christmas photos? I have several Christmas-themed scrapbook pages that may give you some inspiration for your own layouts. Here is the first 2-page 12×12 scrapbook layout. (Click on each image to view a larger version of it.)
Notes:
- I cut out the larger ornaments from the Designer Series paper- and attached them to the pages with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The ornaments are “hanging” from gold cord that is adhered to the back of the pages.
- I colored in some of the dots & lines on the ornaments - and added in my title – with the white gel pen.
- I also used the white gel pen to draw in the stitching. It’s so easy… just free-hand the stitches and it looks great!

Merry Christmas!
Here is a quick-and-easy Christmas card that could easily be adapted for any holiday or occasion!
Note: The stamped image is heat embossed (but doesn’t show up very good in this photo). And I used a white gel pen on top of the word “jolly”. Yes – the white gel ink does stay put on embossed images!

Designer Series Paper: Christmas Cocoa Specialty – from the Holiday Mini Catalog

When I saw the new Decor Elements catalog, I fell in love with the photo of the Vintage Ornaments on the windows.
But I wanted to create something that could be used for more than just one Christmas season. So I put them on frames instead! I bought 3 frames and used 2 sets of the Vintage Ornaments. I applied the Decor Elements on the top of the glass. And I used wrapping paper inside the frames.
