Hi friends! It’s Jess Forster and I am excited because it’s the most wonderful time of the year: Christmas! As soon as I received the Christmas Time collection from Echo Park, I was inspired to create a traditional layout documenting my family’s 2021 holiday photos. 

This gorgeous collection includes traditional red and green hues with classic holiday sayings. It also contains a lovely mixture of florals and plaids. It’s a win win in my book!

Supplies | Echo Park Christmas Time Collection: patterned paper, stickers, chipboard accents, titles and frames ephemera; Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: EZ runner adhesive, foam adhesive; Font: Remington Noiseless 

After flipping through the papers, the red buffalo plaid paper caught my eye. Called “Magical Christmas” I paired it with the red and white striped pattern paper, “Christmas Delivery” to create an asymmetrical background for my page. After creating a 7 x 7 collage of my favourite family photos from that year, I backed them with the green pattern paper, “Let it Snow” and the white and red holly paper, “Cardinal Floral”. It’s so dreamy!!

I also loved the colourful chipboard accents in this collection and I decided to create a fun column of elements along the left side of the page. Not only did I want to use all the embellishments, I wanted to create lots of dimension and texture. I finished my layout off by adding banner sayings to the top and bottom of my photos.  

If you are looking for a traditional paper collection with warm and cozy pattern papers in red and green hues, then look no further, because Echo Park Christmas Time will help you scrapbook your favourite Christmas moments!
