Under the Tree

Like I said earlier this week, I have been busy working on my 2012 Christmas layouts. I really want to get them done before this Christmas rolls around.

Today I would like to share with you a layout I did of my girls playing with their new Playmobil Castle on Christmas morning.
I love that in this picture they are not looking at the camera, but are totally engrossed in playing.

I used pattered paper and coordinating stickers from Bella Blvd. for this layout. I love all the different paper patterns and how I was able to use so many of them, in small amounts, on this layout without it looking cluttered.
I have a few more Christmas layouts completed and will be showing them to you over the next few weeks. I hope you don't think it is silly to be working on Christmas layouts in September (especially when I have so many photos from out summer holiday to scrap), but I am excited to get this batch finished. Plus I am hoping that my layouts will provide you with some inspiration for your own Christmas pages, either from years past or for the Christmas coming up.

Happy Scrapping!

      Thank you Raechelle. I love this paper too...a little non-traditional, and so fun. Thanks for stopping by.

    Oh cute! I love the design of this and all of the fun elements you've added. Very fun Christmas layout...and I don't think you're crazy at all. I'm so far behind on Christmas photos.

    ADORABLE. Love this layout. Thank you for sharing it. Looking forward to seeing the other ones. I think scrapbookers are always scrapping things that aren't directly related to the season we are in. I am far behind on Christmas and Halloween.

      You're right Leslie, as scrapbookers we are always a little behind the current season. It is so fun to go back through older photos and relive the memories while I am scrapping them - one of the best things about the hobby, I think.
