Christmas Scrapbook Layout & Embellishment Tips

[@EmaMartinez-bf2vy]

I had to come on here and write you a love letter! I was browsing KZbin one day out of sheer boredom and saw an autumn LO that inspired me to scrapbook some pics I have of my only grandson. I absolutely fell in love with, and I'll quote one of your older videos, your epic editing skills! I so love your calm way of speaking and the seamless transition between off camera steps! I mean that's what made me fall in love! But I'm also quite impressed with your scrapbooking skills! I started scrapbooking in my teens and transitioned to a card maker in 2006 when I became an empty nester. I retired in 2023 so I've taken on lots of new crafting hobbies in the past year but having a grandson has made me come back full circle to my first love, scrapbooking. I don't have much CTMH or Stamping Up, but I am a skilled paper hoarder and I look forward to lots of inspiration from your tutorials! I've been watching lots of your older videos since happily stumbling onto your channel!! I'm once again a happy scrapper!! ❤😊

That lantern sheet reminds me of the film of the Lion, the witch & the wardrobe when they walk through the door & you see the lamp shining in the middle of nowhere!! I thought that if you still had the Santa & his reindeer stamp, from long ago in your stash, then he would have looked cute stamped on the right hand side page disappearing up off the page, probably in second generation stamping behind the trees. Also I stumbled on to Tuesdays stampin up feature on f/b today & Sara was showing how you can heat emboss onto glimmer paper successfully & the sample she used was the tree out of the set you used. It looked so good, it was the other one with the lines going down on it so that it looked like snow on the tree when she finished. Great page by the way!! I stopped & typed in the first part as soon as you showed that paper... We never celebrate christmas as a family so I don't have photos to scrapbook on the subject but sometimes I wish I did as this pack looks so lovely!!

"Abandoned" projects?! I like that so much better than "unfinished" projects! Got a sleeve full of those😂 Love the layout, so of course I'll have to run up to GB to snag some Holiday photos too!🌲❤🍬

[@eleanorhora8563]

Great layout. Love your photos and the background paper. Those trees and poinsettias make the layout really pop and candy dots are really a cute addition to centers. ❤❤❤

[@Ada-bw8ud]

Another gorgeous layout Erin! The more I see Sentimental Christmas DSP, the more I love it… adding it my wish list now! And the peppermints for the poinsettia centers … genius! 💡 PS: you’re not alone in the “made me get it” group…. I too had to have that adorable Christmas bird poinsettia die set! 😆

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

I think that poinsettia is going to get a lot of use! I wasn't a huge fan of this paper pack, but I love what you've done with it! The black behind the photos really makes them pop.

I enjoy watching your videos so much. You are easy to listen to and you explain the process so well. It also helps that your scrapbooking style is similar to mine 😊 Thank you for sharing your work!! I love this layout- and those trees!!! ❤

[@c21kimberly]

This is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS Erin! Oh it gets me in the Christmas spirit for sure. Great collection, great layout, TFS and INSPIRING as always!

[@ellaconner9452]

Beautiful! Love the poinsettias 😊 TFS

[@lindarogers6209]

Erin, this is another lovely layout. So enjoy watching you crate. You are so very inspiring. And I think I need to get that Tree set. TFS

[@dianeharman8470]

What a gorgeous fun layout you created! I absolutely love the way it came together with your clusters. My grandma had ribbon candy, too! If I remember correctly, hers seemed very thin and delicate…what I find today is thick! Anyway, I love those poinsettias! I made my own striped candy dots by melting perler beads. TFS ❤

[@cassieplayford634]

Gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful! Your die cuts 😊are so pretty and perfect for the layout. Love it. 💕

[@TerryMolineux]

I can’t say enough. Your scrapbooking skills are amazing. I wish I had one iota of your creativity. I missed out on the cdt October Christmas class and I’m bummed. Thanks for sharing your inspiration with us!

[@JaymaMalme]

So pretty!! The trees and poinsettias all worked so beautifully together.

[@connieplave8454]

I bought that die set also after watching Julie 😂 I’m glad to get more ideas to use it. Great layout.

[@deniseandersonturley6058]

Super duper cute. As always😊

[@mariewaters1483]

As always Erin, I love it.

[@kims731]

Love this layout! I need the tree die set!

[@trudyfrye7545]

Love listening to your process. I also loved that paper and stamp and die set. You made me very excited to use them . A few years ago Stampin’ Up had a beautiful poinsettia stamp and die set. I have that one in my collection that I will have to get out. I may have to scrap lift your layout.

[@cherylrobertson5629]

Beautiful layout! Love the design as well as all the embellishments. Seems like peppermint’s and red striped paper is the theme this year with many digital paper creators and paper artists. I’m going to have to travel down the hill and go to the Granite Bay nursery. I’ve never been there. 💕

[@SarahElfert-yh2bn]

Erin, It came together beautifully! Yes, my grandmother had those candies also.

[@kimberlykearns2752]

Very pretty, Erin!

[@crafting_with_kami]

I love it! Now I need to dig out my Decorative Tree dies! 😆

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, I can’t wait to see how you use this set, I know it will be good!

[@vickiemifflin2854]

Just Beautiful!

[@jopicker7568]

Gorgeous layout ❤

[@sharonmcspadden7336]

Erin, this layout is gorgeous. You make it look so easy. Love the Christmas colors. The peppermint ribbon candy was a staple at my grandmothers house at Christmas time. Brings back old memories.

[@rondaladuke6106]

Julie made me do it too! Had to have that die set!

[@SusanBischoff-cn4sp]

Another great layout!

[@ScrapbookCowgirl]

Gorgeous layout Erin! You always make it look so easy! My DIL and I took some similar photos when we were Christmas shopping last year. I may need to scrap lift! lol

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

How fun! You should definitely try it! Your layouts always inspire me, so it is great to inspire you too.

[@ScrapbookCowgirl]

@@CraftyConceptswithErin Thank you my friend! ❤️

[@rondaladuke6106]

I go shopping with my mom a couple times a month, but I never think to take pictures unless my Grandson is with us, I love getting them together in photo's!

[@cathysteinke2058]

Love this layout!!! Christmas pics are my favorite ❤️💚🎄

[@dianeshaw2433]

[@Melsstampingallery]

[@citygonecountrygirl]

Love this! Do recall the name of image in design space of the notebook paper? Thanks!

[@KatherineAshworth-y9p]

What is the name of the cricut notebook image you used for journaling? I have sen you use it before and I love it! So many different applications for that one!

[@papertherapywithamy4153]

Very pretty as always Erin!

[@kristenoliver43]

What size do you print your photos out at? Always love your layouts! ❤ do you have what that what the cricut journal paper is called? So cute!

[@DebbieMcKie]

Ribbon candy was a favorite of my dad.

[@patriciadelamarter3604]

I am 75 yo and Ribbon candy was always my favorite when I was young. It was thinner and more crispy when I was young. If you find it today, it’s a little thicker and more difficult to bite into.
