Hello friends! It’s Victoria and I’m sharing a festive holiday 12 x 12-inch scrapbook layout for 12 Days of Holiday Giving! Christmas is my favorite holiday so creating this layout was a real treat! Let’s take a look!
Supplies | Christmas Ornaments Electronic Cut File: Paige Evans; Mittens and Mistletoe 12×12 Pattern Paper Pad, Mittens and Mistletoe Ephemera, Mittens and Mistletoe Charms, Snow and Cocoa Stickers: Crate Paper; Hey Santa Stickers: American Crafts; Tombow Mono Permanent Adhesive
This layout features a story about my daughter who found an adorable holiday snowman plush at Target. Her interest in the holidays is a bit inconsistent these days (typical tween), so I was surprised when she begged me to purchase this snowman. So, we now have a snowman plush named Snowy that was added to our holiday decor collection!
To begin this project, I selected the stunning Christmas Ornaments cut file by the one and only Paige Evans! I cut this image from textured cardstock using an electronic cutting machine. Once cut, I backed each element (ornaments and circles) with pattern paper from the Mittens and Mistletoe Pattern Paper Pad by Crate Paper. I selected four festive patterns that create a soft and fun look for this project.
Next, I created a background using pattern paper from the Mittens and Mistletoe Pattern Paper Pad. Then to the background, I added the ornament cut file image. Once adhered, I layered two photos, resized to two 2.5-inch circles, on the larger ornaments.
For added interest, I layered small die cuts, stickers, charms, and fussy-cut poinsettias on the ornaments. And for a bit of sparkle and shine, I adhered gold glitter snowflake stickers to the strings of the ornaments, creating the appearance of snow falling from the sky!
To complete this project, I created the title, Hello Snowy, using gold metallic and red puffy letter stickers, along with a journaling block positioned at the bottom of the layout. This layout is so whimsical and perfectly captures the essence of the featured story!
I hope that this project inspired you to create a fun and festive holiday-themed scrapbook layout! Be sure to stop by again for more creative inspiration during the SCT 12 Days of Holiday Giving event!

Awesome layout, Victoria. I love the colours.
Our favorite holiday tradition is getting together in the evening on Dec 23 to hunt for the best Christmas light display.

I love playing board games with friends and family during the holidays

My favourite holiday tradition is driving around the city on Christmas Eve and looking at everyone’s Christmas light displays.
So many favorite holiday traditions that are now changing as my girls grow up. One of my favorites goes back to when I was a little kid, we always opened our gifts on Christmas Eve, and then my brother and I were allowed to stay up as late as we wanted to play with our new things.
What an awesome layout! I love Victoria’s pages and Paige’s cut files! Match made in heaven. This might sound boring but my favorite thing about Christmas is watching my kids open presents. They get so excited and it’s so much fun to watch them turn into younger versions of themselves. Since both my kids are older, I cherish every minute.
My favourite holiday tradition is having cinnamon buns after opening stockings on Christmas Day! Beautiful giveaway, thanks for the chance to win.
My favorite Christmas tradition is going with Family to view all of the pretty Christmas lighting displays , so magical!
My favourite tradition is now watching a Christmas movie with the family on Christmas Eve. We have had a lot of tradition changes in the past three years but that is one that has stuck around. We turn out the lights and watch by the light of the Christmas tree.
Very nice layout! And I learned something new – cutout files are available ????. Our favourite holiday tradition, we have a couple – watching “White Christmas” and grabbing hot chocolates, my parents and driving around to take them to see the Christmas lights around the city.
My favorite holiday tradition is having a tree decorating party with my husband to make decorating the tree really special.
Instead of exchanging gifts, we give stocking stuffers with each person opening one gift at a time so it takes us a little while to get through all of the gifts.
Love the prizes would love to win but I really love the layout page
What a gorgeous page!!! I love Victorias style so much and the cutfile is amazing. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Our favorite tradition is watching all the Xmas movies, in our comfy PJs and fuzzy socks
My favorite holiday tradition is decorating the home on Christmas Eve. All members of family are decorating the Christmas tree together, singing Christmas songs and laughing. The youngest member of the family puts the last decoration on the top of the pine tree. After that we all have dinner together, watch movies and play games and at midnight we go to church for mass.
What a beautiful layout! Great prizes today–thanks for a chance to win! My favorite holiday tradition is driving around our town to see all the Christmas lights!
