Christmas Two-page Layout

As always I am stll working towards completing Christmas layouts from over the years. Because I scrapbook out of order, I am sometimes literally scrapbooking photos from 2018 and 2024 easily in the same day. Here is one of those cases for sure. I created this Christmas layout for photos from 2022 on the same day I created layouts for snow pictures from 2019 and Valentine's layouts for 2025. But scrapbooking out of order keeps it fun for me. I used the following supplies for this two-page layout:

PAPER: Kiwi Club Kit December 2024

SENTIMENT: Kiwi Club Kit December 2024

TEMPLATES: Everyday Adventures 1 (stars)

ADDITIONAL ITEMS: Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink from Tim Holtz

This layout will hold (5) 3 x 4 photos and (4) 4x 6 photos. 


Happy Scrapping!

Wishing You A Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from The Unique Scrapper!

As the year comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a joyful holiday season!

This year has been filled with creativity, memories, and beautiful layouts that capture life's most cherished moments. Whether you've been scrapbooking for years or are just starting out, I’m so grateful that you’ve allowed me to be a part of your creative journey.

Christmas is such a special time for memory-making, from trimming the tree to baking cookies, to wrapping presents and sharing laughter with family. As you enjoy these moments, don’t forget to document them! Scrapbooking isn’t just about preserving memories—it’s about celebrating them, and what better time to celebrate than during the holidays?

To help you keep those memories alive, here are a few ideas for your Christmas-themed layouts:

Capture the sparkle of your holiday lights by adding glitter accents.

Use pieces of wrapping paper or gift tags as embellishments.

Include handwritten notes from loved ones in your layout for a personal touch.


Thank you for your support, whether you’ve shopped, watched, or followed along this year. Your encouragement inspires me to continue creating and sharing.

Wishing you a season full of love, peace, and creativity. I can’t wait to see what you create in the new year!

Merry Christmas and Happy Scrapbooking!

Are You A Cash Stuffer and a Scrapbooker?

Good evening all!

For those that follow me on Instagram, I posted a sneak peek about something I was working on, to help customize my cash stuffing process.


I finally finished, and recorded a video showcasing my artwork. It does use Kiwi Lane templates, and may be an idea someone else can use too. 




Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, and Enjoy!

Countdown to Christmas!

It's one of my favorite Holidays of the year... and my favorite time of the year!
I love Christmas, always have.

We don't get much snow in the south, but still love snowmen too!
Snowmen always remind me of Christmas!
 About a week ago, we actually some some snow here in western Georgia, I was so excited!





I used the Snowman at the window image from Crafty Sentiments Designs for my main focal point:




On this card I used several layers of cardstock from Close to my Heart.



 The sentiment inside is from the Joyful Tidings Stamp set from the Workshop Your Way Kit from Close to my Heart as well.
 I used Pacifica Exclusive Ink to distress the edges of the sentiment piece inside. 


I entered this weeks card into a few challenges as well:

Christmas in July

When you have a large family and plenty of friends, you have to start your Christmas card making early...  

So this evening I sat down and started making a few Christmas cards.



I utilized the Jack Paper Packet from Close to my Heart, for the red and green patterned paper. 
The sentiment is a simple, "Just for You" which is perfect for a gift card inside or a card attached to a gift.  This versatile stamp is part of the Petite Perks "Just For You" stamp set. This cute little set has 4 different sentiments. 


As an incentive from me, any order placed in the month of July on my personal website or with me, for $20 or more, will receive a free Petite Perks "Just For You" stamp set. 

How fun is that? A FREE stamp set! 
Once your order is placed, I will ship you the set absolutely free! If you do not already have a 2 x 2 acrylic block or larger, you may wish to add that to your order. It is the recommended block for this FREE stamp set.


I kept the embellishments simple for this one, and only added two Rhinestones, and added a bit of ink sponged around the edges. 

I also added this card to a few Challenges:
