Merry Christmas | Santa's Christmas Delivery Echo Park | Rebecca Bee

 Hello Scrappy friends! Rebecca Bee here with my last layout of 2025 using Echo Park's Santa's Christmas Delivery collection. 

I love the traditional Christmas colourway with reds and greens, so this collection really suits most of my festive photos from this year. For this layout I have used the Twinkling Lights paper which I offset on each side of the sweet as sugar candies paper. For the appearance of extra layers, I also added some small strips of the Happy Santa paper which I had leftover for a previous layout. 

I love the cute little Santa stickers in this collection, they very much suited my Christmas Morning photos, just after Santa had made his delivery of presents! 

Do you enjoy festive scrapbooking? If so, you definitely need to have a look at this cute, whimsical collection, it is so much fun! Until next time!

Carta Bella - Christmas in the City - Merry & Bright

Hello everyone!

The festivities are getting nearer and I've taken the opportunity to spend some time at my crafty desk scrapping memories of a Christmas shopping trip.

For this layout I'm using the Christmas in the City collection by Carta Bella. One of the icons is a red snow globe with a cityscape inside and it inspired me to create my own. 

I cut the snowglobe on my cricut using the red coordinating cardstock from the matchmaker pack. Once it was cut, I used it as a template to cut around the stunning Christmas City Scene paper. 

Before sticking anything together, I added a layer of acetate to the snowglobe and backed the edge with thick foam tape being careful not to leave any gaps. I added sequins, glittery bits and mini foam balls and then added the background paper to create a giant shaker!

I mounted my photos using the blue side of the Merry Snowflake Sky paper and adhered these to the bottom left of the globe. 

To embellish I chose a variety of stickers from the Element Stickers. I arranged them around my photograph to bring the scene to life. 

This included a big bold sticker 'Merry & Bright' which I used as my title. 

I also added a small cluster of snowflake stickers opposite the photos on the top of the globe to help balance the design. 

This was a really fun one to make that came together really quickly. It's such an inspiring collection, do drop by and check it out here, but be quick, it's proving popular! 

I hope you find some creative time this holiday and enjoy the festivities!

Echo Park - Christmas Time - Happy Holidays!

Hi everyone,

With just one week to go until the big day, today I'm going all out festive to document a picture of the Christmas Trees at our local garden centre! 

I'm using the Christmas Time collection from Echo Park - It's a stunner and is such a perfect match for all those festive memories. You can find it in the shop here.

For a change, I'm not using my white cardstock background at all! I'm diving straight into this beautiful patterned paper. I tore two strips to create a 2/3, 1/3 design, using the Let It Snow and Festive Floral papers and ruffled the edge for texture.

I wanted to create one large cluster on the bottom left overlapping the two papers.

I printed two photos and sized one slightly smaller than the other to add more scale to the design, and backed them with the Snowflakes Falling paper and mounting them on foam before adhering to the page.

to create the floral clusters, I fussy cut the flowers from the Festive Floral paper making sure to have a range of different sizes from the paper.

To create a focal point, I added a small circular element from the Ephemera Titles and Phrases and nestled this amongst the flowers along with some smaller stickers from the Ephemera Stickers and Puffy Stickers.

To echo the circular element on the right of the cluster, I added another Puffy Sticker and a cute truck from the Element Stickers, extending the design across the page.

To help bring my photos to life, I reached for the Sticker Book and found lots of different trees in all shapes and sizes. These were perfect to add context to my story. I raised these on foam and slotted them in behind my photo - almost as if I was stood in a forest of Christmas trees.

To balance the layout, I added a small cluster at the to right of the page. I used a scalloped border sticker to act as an anchor for the cluster, and then added some fussy cut florals, floral puffy sticker and a lovely birdhouse from the Element Stickers to bring the cluster to life.

The Happy Holidays sticker from the Elements Stickers sits proudly on top of this cluster on foam, providing a lovely title for my page.

As a finishing touch, I added a few Nuvo Crystal drops and the layout was complete.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing how this project came together and it has given you some inspiration for documenting your festive memories.

That just leaves me to say thank you for all your support this year. As always, it is very much appreciated.

Wishing you all a wonderful festive season! I will see you in 2024!
