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!

Kicking Off 2025 with My First Double-Page Scrapbooking Layout

Hello, scrapbooking friends!

After the whirlwind of the holidays and the chaos of returning to work, I finally carved out some much-needed creative time to work on my first layout of 2025. It feels so good to be back in my craft room, surrounded by papers, embellishments, and all the inspiration I've been saving up over the last few busy months.

This layout is extra special because it celebrates my husband's recent birthday. I wanted to capture the joy of the day—the laughter, the love, and, of course, the cake! I decided to make a double-page layout (my first one in a while!) to showcase all the photos and memories from his celebration.

The left side of the layout focuses on the big moments: the cake, his beaming smile as everyone sang "Happy Birthday," and a group photo with our four youngest kids. The right side highlights the little details I didn’t want to forget: the handmade decorations, the sweet messages on his birthday cards, and even a close-up of his gifts.

For the color palette, I went with warm, masculine tones like navy and orange to reflect his personality and the cozy vibe of the party. I added pops of red, green and white to make the pages shine. I used the Everyday Adventures Scrapbooking Kit by Kiwi Lane to create all of the embellishments.

It feels amazing to start the new year by documenting such a meaningful event. Scrapbooking is not just about preserving memories—it's about carving out time for ourselves to create and reflect. If you’ve been feeling too busy to scrapbook, let this be your sign to make time for it. Life's big (and small) moments are worth celebrating, and the process is always so rewarding.

I can’t wait to hear about your first scrapbooking project of the year! Let me know what you’re working on in the comments.

Happy crafting,

Marciava

Scrapbooking Live Friday Night Replay

 Happy Tuesday!

I hope that you all are well. I am enjoying the warmer weather here, as it was much too cold for my liking last week while I was out of town for work in North Carolina. Once I got back home, I literally just wanted to soak up all the sun and heat that I could. 

I had an opportunity over the weekend to record my Scrapbooking Live Friday night. If you missed it, you can watch the replay on Youtube below:

Part 1

Part 2

The end result layout was super cute, and will work great with some snow pictures I have from a few years back, that I was looking at last week. 

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!
