Day 9 - Classic Christmas Elegance – A Timeless Double Page Scrapbook Layout



Welcome to Day 9 of my Christmas in July Showcase! Today I'm sharing a festive 12" x 12" double-page scrapbook layout that's perfect for preserving your favorite Christmas memories. Whether you're documenting Christmas morning, a holiday gathering, or a cozy family celebration, this layout offers a classic design that lets your photos take center stage.


The rich combination of A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper, Secret Sea Cardstock, Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, Old Olive Cardstock, and Very Vanilla Cardstock creates a warm, traditional Christmas palette that never goes out of style. The quilt-inspired designer paper along the bottom adds a charming handmade feel while tying all of the colors together beautifully.

This layout includes space for:
• (3) 4" x 6" photos
• (1) journaling box for capturing your favorite holiday memories


One of my favorite details is the simple circular title embellishment featuring the "Holiday Greetings" sentiment from the Woodland Wishes Stamp Set. A few loops of Linen Thread tucked behind the title add soft texture, while the Old Olive Moody Palette Dots provide just the right amount of sparkle without overwhelming the design.

I love how this layout balances clean lines with festive accents. The generous photo mats make it easy to showcase some of your favorite holiday moments, while the journaling box ensures the stories behind those memories are preserved for years to come.

Sometimes the most meaningful layouts are also the simplest. By combining classic Christmas colors, timeless patterns, and a few carefully chosen embellishments, you can create a beautiful keepsake that allows your photos and memories to shine.

Thank you for stopping by for Day 9 of my Christmas in July Showcase! I hope this layout inspires you to gather your holiday photos and start creating pages that your family will treasure for generations.

Happy scrapping! 🎄❤️

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,

🎄 Christmas in July Showcase – Day 2: A Simple Handmade Holiday Greeting


Welcome back to Day 2 of my 12 Days of Christmas in July Online Showcase!

I hope you've been enjoying this festive journey so far! Today I'm switching from scrapbook layouts to a quick and elegant handmade Christmas card that is perfect for sending warm holiday wishes to family and friends.


This card features the beautiful A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper paired with the Woodland Wishes Stamp Set. The patterned paper does most of the work, making this design easy to recreate while still looking polished and festive.

The bold Christmas tree pattern creates a cheerful focal point, while the layered circle sentiment adds just the right amount of dimension. A simple strip of coordinating green cardstock helps ground the design, allowing the gorgeous designer paper to truly shine. Sometimes, less really is more!


Products Featured
🎄 A Stitched Season Designer Series Paper
🌲 Woodland Wishes Stamp Set
❤️ Coordinating Cardstock in Cherry Cobbler, and Garden Green
❄️ Basic White Note Cards
🎅 Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Ink Pad

One of my favorite things about this card is how versatile it is. You could easily create several of these in an afternoon by changing the designer paper pattern or sentiment. It's a wonderful design for holiday card swaps, gift enclosures, or building your Christmas card stash well before December arrives.

Christmas in July is the perfect time to start creating handmade cards. By getting a head start now, you'll have more time to enjoy the holiday season with family and friends later.

Thank you for stopping by for Day 2 of the showcase! I hope today's project inspires you to pull out your favorite Christmas papers and start creating.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for Day 3, where I'll be sharing another festive Christmas project as we continue celebrating 12 Days of Christmas in July!

I'd love to hear from you in the comments: Do you make handmade Christmas cards every year, or is this something you'd like to start doing?

Happy Scrapping and Merry Christmas in July!

Little One: A Sweet & Simple Double-Page Layout



There's something special about creating a scrapbook layout that comes together quickly while still making a big impact. This "Little One" double-page 12" x 12" layout is one of those designs!

I wanted to create a layout that felt sweet, playful, and full of love without adding lots of complicated layers or techniques. The combination of red, pink, and white patterned papers provides the perfect backdrop while keeping the focus on the photos. I especially love how the mix of florals, hearts, and XOXO patterns adds interest and texture across both pages.



One of my favorite things about this layout is how versatile it is. It would work beautifully for baby photos, toddler memories, Valentine's Day celebrations, or any collection of photos that capture the joy and love of childhood.



Sometimes the simplest layouts are the ones that tell our stories best. With a few coordinating papers, a handful of embellishments, and treasured photos, you can create a layout that preserves precious memories for years to come.

You Are Magical 6 x 8 Scrapbooking Layout


This cute little 6 x 8 layout was so much fun and came together rather quickly. The cute little Toadstools can be stamped in any color, but I chose to go with Cherry Cobbler and Strawberry Slush, two colors that compliment each other well.




Have you had a chance to play with these stamp sets or the punch yet? If so, what fun crafty things have you made?
