Christmas Scrapbooking Page
January 19, 2008 by Genie Balfour · Leave a Comment
This Christmas scrapbooking page, whose title is ‘All on a Christmas Holiday’, has 11 photographs and just a couple of embellishments.
Multiple photo layouts are really useful for Christmas pages as we usually take a lot of photos.
Add a second page to make this into a two-page spread and you could have at least 22 photographs in one layout. That’s not bad going!

Scrapbooking Sketch Extra

This simple, budget Christmas scrapbook page is made without buying any extra supplies. Yes, it’s a Christmas layout, but it could just as happily be a Valentine’s Day , birthday or anniversary scrapbook page - any occasion where you want to spend the money on gifts rather than scrapbooking supplies!
We’ve used paper ‘ribbon’ - you’re bound to have red paper you can cut into strips, or even real ribbon in your stash from previous Christmas or Valentine layouts.
