Scrapping with Mati: White Pines Holly Scrapbook Layout

I think I take more pictures at Christmas than any other time of the year. Family is visiting, the decorations are up and there are just so many memorable moments to capture! Because of this, I wanted to get a head start on my Christmas pages and also because these pretty papers will be disappearing at the end of this month! I grabbed my White Pines Scrapbooking Workshop on the Go Kit and started playing.

I used the holly and leaves stamps and cut the coordinating Cricut shapes using the Artistry cartridge. I stamped the leaves in Fern and the berries in Cranberry. I adhered them with thin 3D foam tape to the 1 3/4" red B&T squares. (I like the thin 3D foam tape for less bulk.) I used the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut a 3" square in the Fern cardstock.

The zigzag B&T paper is 11" long by 1" wide and is mounted on Cranberry Paper. To top this, I cut a Cranberry 1 3/4" red square with a 1 1/2" zigzag square and cut it in half. A little tricky as you have to cut the zigzag on an angle so it will line up correctly with the border. Here's a photo of the zigzag before cutting:

I used Fern twine to create little bows to finish off the top. I thought the border was finished until I looked and saw it sitting on the blue B&T paper and thought, "Hey, I like that." so it stayed and became the 2 1/2" wide border background. For the title, I used the Art Philosophy cartridge and welded the letters together. The capital letters are 1 1/2" high. For the greenery, I went back to the Artistry cartridge and cut out the garland at 1 1/2" and then snipped off the pieces I wanted to use.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope your holiday season is wonderful and full of lots of picture worthy moments!
