Christmas Documented - Simple Stories - The Holiday Life Collection

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and that Santa brought you some nice scrappy gifts! I had a wonderful family Christmas, and found just enough time to squeeze in one more layout before the year is out. This month I've been enjoying 'The Holiday Life' from Simple Stories. I love that it includes traditional reds and greens as well as lots of florals and elements that remind me of a cosy Christmas at home. You can find the full collection in the shop here.


I started with 3 sections of patterned papers cut in different sizes. After distressing the edges and rolling them over, I overlapped them and arranged them in the centre of a sheet of Premium White Cardstock


On top of these, I added my photo with a layer of foam behind it to introduce some dimension. One of my favourite products from Simple Stories is the Foam Stickers. I love that they include different fonts and a range of different options for titles. For this layout I've used the word 'Christmas' from the foam stickers, and paired it with a sticker from the Cardstock Stickers to create my title.


This collection has multiple embellishment options - and I love them all! I selected a couple of the floral Rub Ons and added them to my white cardstock in a diagonal design. I then built on these clusters by adding some Floral Bits & Pieces


I had some larger areas of patterned paper which looked slightly bare, so to these areas I added some larger elements from the Bits & Pieces pack.


And that's a wrap from me for 2023! I hope you've enjoyed this layout and all the layouts I've created this year. Thank you so much to each of you for the love and support throughout the year. 

Wishing you all a happy, scrappy new year.
