Day 3 – Christmas Joy in Every Memory | Christmas in July Showcase

Welcome back to Day 3 of my 12 Days of Christmas in July Showcase! I hope you've been enjoying this festive celebration as much as I've enjoyed creating each project. Today I'm sharing a warm and rustic 12" x 12" double-page scrapbook layout that beautifully captures the joy of the Christmas season.

This layout combines traditional Christmas colors with cozy woodgrain textures to create the perfect backdrop for your favorite holiday memories.

The star of this design is the A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper, paired with the beautiful Country Woods Designer Series Paper to give the pages a charming farmhouse feel. I layered everything with Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Cardstock, creating a classic Christmas palette that's timeless and elegant.

The focal embellishments feature the gorgeous Pretty Poinsettia Stamp Set. I stamped and fussy-cut the poinsettias before layering them over Cherry Cobbler circles for added depth and dimension. The "Christmas Joy" sentiment brings everything together, creating a simple yet meaningful title that celebrates the season.

One of my favorite details is the stitched geometric pattern surrounding each photo mat. It adds movement across both pages while naturally guiding your eye from one memory to the next.

Photo Layout

This double-page design includes space for:

• (1) 6" x 4" photo

• (4) 3" x 4" photos

It's the perfect layout for documenting Christmas morning, decorating the tree, holiday baking, family gatherings, or any collection of favorite seasonal snapshots.

I love designing scrapbook layouts that are both beautiful and practical, and this one leaves plenty of room for your photos while still featuring elegant stamped details. The dimensional poinsettias add just the right amount of texture without overwhelming your pictures, making them the perfect finishing touch.

Thank you for joining me for Day 3 of my Christmas in July Showcase! I hope this project inspires you to pull out your Christmas papers and start preserving some of your favorite holiday memories. Be sure to stop by tomorrow for another festive project as we continue counting down through all 12 Days of Christmas in July!

Happy crafting,
