Hello SCT friends! Welcome to Day 7 of our 12 Days of Holiday Giving! We have a great layout to share from Creative Team member Lisa Dickinson and under the SCT tree, we have another fabulous prize package for you! Ready to see what we have in store for you today? Let’s get started…
“On the 7th day of SCT’s 12 Days of Holiday Giving, SCT shared with me….a beautiful layout from designer Lisa Dickinson along with a prize package from our friends at Photo Play Paper and Pink & Main!”
“Hello! Lisa here with you today! Even though red and green are the traditional Christmas colors, I always struggle to design layouts using that color scheme. I usually start my design process with the photos, and select products that coordinate well with them, and quite often the red and green palette just doesn’t work. But that doesn’t mean a page can’t look Christmas-y! There are so many great product lines that incorporate fresh new colors into holiday papers, and one of my favorites is Elle’s Studio!
supplies: patterned paper, tags, die-cuts, acrylic: Elle’s Studio; vellum: Bazzill Basics; date stamp: Project Life; circle cutter: Creative Memories; star gems: Martha Stewart; font: Bohemian Typewriter.
This photo of my daughter and niece in front of the Christmas tree was light and bright, and the pastel colors (with a touch of red!) were perfect to make it the star of the page.
A large 6×4 card was a quick and easy way to create a title. I just added a few lines of stitching below the text to attach it to the page.
Small tags and banners layered together bring pattern and color to the page. I also added circular clusters of embellishments to help soften all the straight lines in the design.
So don’t feel limited to the classic Christmas color scheme for your holiday pages. There’s a wonderful world of color out there to explore!
Happy Holidays to all!” ~ Lisa

We live in Louisiana so the weekend before Christmas we ride down River Rd to see the wood set up for the bonfires. Google it. This year I know they made a giant alligator, last year a pelican. We count the tempers of wood. Usually a good 100.
Awesome collection of prizes. Love looking at it all and seeing what products are out there.

Our favourite family tradition is a big seafood dinner on Christmas Eve. It is a big feast which no one wants to miss! Thanks so much for another great day giveaways.
Cute layout for this sweet photo and another fabulous prize.
I love the prizes and Christmas layout was so cute. One tradition we started was getting Santa pictures at Cabelas every year with camo Santa. We just love that he is a different style of Santa. Also we do a gingerbread house with the kids every year.
Love the departure from standard holiday colors! Very bright and eye-catching.
Ohhhhh……Photo Play is one of my absolute FAVES!!!! Love everything about them! And what a sweet LO!! As for tradition, my favorite is our Christmas Eve. We go to an early service at church…..it ends with candlelight and singing of Silent Night. Then we grab Chinese food on the way home, and sit and eat together while we watch the original Grinch Who Stole Christmas. We’ve being doing this since our kiddos were little, and now at 21 and 26…..we still do this and we all wouldn’t have it any other way!
That layout is gorgeous. Love it and what a sweet story to document and capture. I’m sure the girls will look back on this day with fond memories. WOW, more wonderful prizes that would compliment my collection anytime, lol. Thanks SCT & sponsors for your generosity.
The one place that makes me feel like a kid at Christmas, visiting all the beautiful crafting goodies at SCT’s giveaways! Thank you!!
I love the Photoplay paper, the font and design are something that really fits into my style. Thank you!
Cute layout! And love today’s giveaway. My fave family tradition is going to a candlelight Christmas ceremony, or driving around to look at Christmas lights, or Christmas Eve dinner, or….I can’t pick one!
That is a gorgeous blue Christmas layout. And wow, two epic prizes today – thank you so much for the opportunity to win!
My favourite Christmas tradition has turned out to be attending all the local Christmas markets to purchase Christmas gifts for family.
Such a pretty layout and love the colour scheme!!! My Husband and I love to drive around our town looking at all the pretty lights!
So many great prizes, thank you for the opportunity to win them.
In love with Lisa’s page ???? oh Photoplay how I love you too. I work with a lot of companies when I scrapbook but I seem to gravitate toPhotoplay. So easy to work with ????????
Beautiful paper collections
I really love the trend of pastel colours for christmas layouts and card.
Thanks to the wonderful sponsors.
This layout is beautiful, love the colors! Thanks for another opportunity to win some great products!
A favourite holiday tradition is baking shortbread for family, friends and neighbours. They love the recipe we use (I got it from my mom). I used to be the one to do all of the shortbread baking but one year, when I could not get time off from work, I taught my husband how to make it and now he does almost all of the batches. Another great day of prizes,
Such a fabulous prize. Thanks for the chance. Decorating my home for Christmas is a favorite holiday tradition !
Great prizes from two great companies. One of my favourite traditions is snapping Christmas crackers. Non-sensical prizes, corny jokes and ridiculous paper hats, I know, but always a fun activity before we eat.
One of our family’s fav traditions is setting aside a night to snuggje up and watch The Santa Claus on the couch with the Christmas tree on. Thanks so much for the awesome giveaways and Lisa’s gorgeous inspiring layout!
I really like how Lisa used non-traditional holiday colours to create a festive layout. Today’s prize packages are fantastic – the colours and florals in the Pink and Main box make my crafty heart go pitter patter. One of my favourite holiday traditions is busting local holiday craft shows with a close friend. It’s a chance for us to spend some time together and support local artisans.
Yay for Lisa Dickinson, PhotoPlay Paper, and Pink and Main! I’ve always loved Lisa’s use of color, so it doesn’t matter to me that she doesn’t go with the traditional red-and-green.
Thanks so much for the change to win some crafty goodies. I love how SCT celebrates this time of year. ❤️
The Valentine papers are just so cute. I would love to have them. My favorite holiday tradition is making cards for friends, family and neighbors. I know that they appreciate them, and I’m showing them that I care about them.
Beautiful layouts and gorgeous products! One of our favorite traditions is to buy (or make) each child, and now spouses and grandchildren, an ornament that reflects something special from their lives that year. It was easy when the kids were young, but now it takes some thought. Each year when we decorate the tree together we reminisce, and often laugh at what was important years ago (Ex: Barney!).
My favourite holiday tradition is decorating early and watching Hallmark Christmas movies for all of November and December.
Such a wonderful prize package! I LOVE the layout above! Unique colors! One of my fav traditions is opening our stocking on my parents bed before heading downstairs to the tree
What a cute layout, simple but very effective. The papers in the giveaway are gorgeous. Thank you for providing this giveaway. Another winner for sure.
On Christmas Eve we spend it with my side of the family, we eat my moms spaghetti every year because it’s delicious and the easier dinner clean up!! Lol then the kids do the dishes and we open presents!!!! We play games and have lots of fun! On Christmas Day we spend it with my husbands family and we go over early to help cook and hang out with the family! We usually have a themed dinner, like Mexican food, Chinese food, German food, etc! Then we open presents! The family loves to play games together!
When my children were little we did a treasure hunt every day of Advent.
