Saturday Scraplift: Trim the Tree

Hi!  Shannon (shannonr) here to welcome you to the first Saturday Scraplift for December!  It is hard to believe that is already almost the end of the year.  Since most people have probably already put up their trees, I am hoping that this lift is one you can get behind.

I picked this layout by Beth (bred1269) for us to lift this week.  I loved how the photos were like ornaments on the tree.  The story about guessing their favorite ornament was so charming.

As usual, the Creative Team (as well as a Guest Creative Team Member) have put together some additional inspiration for you.

First up, Stacia.  She stuck pretty closely to Beth’s design using a fun template.  I love how bright and cheery it is with the big bold title tucked under the tree.

Products used:  Bold Sentiments 19, O Christmas Tree Layered Template 04, Christmas Spectacular Sentiment Transfers 02, Be Merry Brush Value Pack, Christmas Plaid Element Pack, Flourishing Sentiments 01, Christmas Spectacular Paper Pack 01, Christmas Spectacular Paper Pack 02 and October Essentials Solids Paper Pack 01.

Next is Kimberly (kimberlyb).  She did a two page spread with photo ornaments on the tree and other supporting holiday photos on the opposite page.

Products used:  Stitched and Lifted Trees 02, Across the Pages Vol. 02 Layered Templates 02, Season Of Joy Paper Pack 02, Blitzen Solids Paper Pack, Golden Season Scrapbooking Bundle, Day Out Solids Paper Pack and Layering Sentiments Christmas 03.

Valerie (nana-vg) put together this layout of her family trimming the tree.  She mashed up two Christmas tree templates to create this page.

Products used: Christmas Time Sentiments 01, O Christmas Tree Layered Template 04, Inspiration Board Holiday Layered Template 01, Christmas Spectacular Ephemera and Vintage Christmas Extras Paper Pack.

I also stuck pretty close to Beth’s design with photos with Santa over the years.

Products used: ARToptions Holiday Wishes Scrapbooking Bundle, Vintage Christmas Lodge Element Mix, December Woods Scrapbook Collection, Instant Artsy Woodland Trees 01, ARToptions Mini Mix 10, ARToptions Mini Mix 09 and ARToptions Mini Mix 22.

I can’t wait to see what you come up with for this lift.  As per usual to get credit toward a coupon to use in the KPD store, post your layouts in the Saturday Scraplift Gallery and the December Challenge Participation Thread.

I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful holiday season!
