It may be only October, but many people are already starting to get ready for the upcoming yuletide season! There is so much to love about the holidays, and between all the festive fun, the music and everything else, who can blame someone for wanting to get a head start? Do you want to get going on your holiday scrapbook layouts? Check out this very merry idea that uses the Christmas Spirit collection!

To create this layout you’ll need:
- Christmas Spirit Paper Pack or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- Christmas Spirit Embellishments or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- Christmas Spirit Laser Cut Borders or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- Christmas Spirit Stickers or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- Christmas Spirit Variety Mat Pack or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- 12-inch Trimmer or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- Tape Runner or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- Foam Squares or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
- Black Dual-Tip Pen or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)

Step 1: Use a piece of wood grain patterned paper for the base.
Step 2: Trim out two scenes from designer paper and adhere to the top and bottom edges of the layout.
Step 3: Adhere the “Our family Christmas traditions” variety mat on the layout. Place a red candy stripe variety mat in the middle of the layout. Mount a 6″ x 4″ photo on top. Crop two photos to measure 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ and adhere to the layout.
Step 4: Adhere a train border sticker and candy laser border on the layout as shown. Add “Baking spirits bright,” elf and holly stickers.
Step 5: Journal on the mat as desired.
