Hello, friends, it’s Becki here! I love a good traditional Christmas color palette, and the Simple Vintage Old Fashioned Christmas collection has so many beautiful patterns and embellishments to work with! For this layout, I wanted to document a favorite photo from the Christmas season and have a little fun layering all those gorgeous collection elements together.
I started with two patterned papers to create my background, pairing the classic red polka dot with the beautiful plaid. I love the contrast between the two patterns, and the combination of red, green, and cream gives the page such a cozy, old-fashioned Christmas feel.
One of my favorite details on this layout is the row of stars running down the center of the page. I fussy cut stars from the patterned papers in the collection and layered them together using foam adhesive. This adds so much dimension and creates a really fun visual element that draws your eye right across the page. I mixed different patterns, sizes, and colors to give the star border lots of interest.
I kept the photo fairly simple, printing it in black and white and adding a soft green mat to help it stand out against the plaid background. The larger floral embellishments at the bottom of the photo add a pretty pop of color, and I love how the poinsettia brings in another touch of traditional Christmas charm.
For my title, I combined the little red Merry piece with the beautiful script Christmas die cut. I tucked in a few tags and floral pieces around the title to create a layered cluster that balances the larger photo on the opposite side of the page.
This collection makes it so easy to mix patterns, layer embellishments, and add lots of dimension to a layout. I especially love how the fussy-cut stars turned out! Sometimes it's those little extra details that make a scrapbook page feel special.
I hope this inspires you to pull out your favorite patterned papers, grab your scissors, and have a little fun layering!
