HOLIDAY TRADITIONS - Scrapbook Nerd

Hi!  it is time for some inspiration for Scrapbook Nerd, and it is also time to pull all the festive goodies and document Christmas!!!   Well, i am all about playing with paper and glue, but when it comes to Christmas, there is just a little extra incentive to get creative.

For this page, i mixed a few different things that i am loving lately.  One is the papers in the This is Family collection from Pebbles, the colors and designs in the Merry Little Christmas also from Pebbles and circles.

I started by punching circles from the 6x6 paper pad from Pebbles and the 6x8 paper pad from Crate Paper's Snowflake collection.  I punched a hole at the top of each circle so i can form a banner with the circles, and wrapped the cord around a piece of 8.5x11 cardstock.

Once the banner was set in place (foam adhesive and glue dots are holding the circles in place) i glued the letter size cardstock to a paper from the THis is Family collection, and then added the picture so it sits between the two pieces of paper.

i used embellishments from Pebbles, Simple Stories, Crate Paper to bring the Christmas sentiment to the page.  Lots of pops of red, gold, green and teal bring the festive look to the  page.

All that was left to do was add a title ( Crate Paper and Pinkfresh Studio alphas) and some lines of journal.  The gold stamped elements were created with a stamp set from Citrus Twist Kits.

Just love how it turned out, and all the space i still have to write my lines of journal!!!  I hope this inspire you to pull some of your favorite things and mixed them up on your next page, and make sure you check Scrapbook Nerd for all the materials (there are so many new collections and good ol' staples),

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  - I LIKE YOU -

Hi there!

Today, I am up on the Scrapbook Nerd blog with this new layout that celebrates simplicity and efficacy.   Sometimes when you are short in time, or under stress, a bit of creative therapy can make it all better, but if you get to use up some of your beloved scrapbook stash on the way, then it is heavenly!

The idea of the center paper strips is to ground the page.  Having a color background, or a simple design will help to speed up the page construction.

I created an imaginary diagonal line and used it to add lots of stickers and embellishments from Crate Paper's La La Love, and Main Squeeze collections an Pebbles'  Loves Me and Forever My Always collections.

A large title balances the page nicely, and breaks all the color that is on the opposite side of the page. Here  is a small video on how this page came together:

This page took less than half an hour to put together, actually the total footage for the page was 27 minutes, and love how it all came together so easily:

Remember to stop by Scrapbook Nerd to check all the materials used in this page, and you can always contact me if you have questions on how this came together!
