Wear Holiday Spirit On Your Sleeve With This Christmas Scrapbook Layout
Ohh, the beloved Christmas sweater! Many of us cannot resist the cheeky, merry call of “quirky” pullovers and cardigans, and as a result, our wardrobe becomes adorned with designs like snowpeople and snowflakes, dancing reindeer, candy canes and other festive fashions. (Extra points if it features a 3D element like a pom-pom or bells and baubles!) These wooly wonders have snowballed into numerous households and makes a great conversation starter this time of year, and we can’t stop talking about this Christmas scrapbook layout from blog contributor Sachiyo Omitsu!

Step 1: Cut white with red dots tonal paper to measure 11” x 11”.
Step 2: Place the second-smallest Oval Custom Cutting System Pattern to the top-center of the paper. Using the outside edge of the pattern with Blue and then the Red Blade, cut out a narrow curved strip. Flip the curved strip over (red stripes design) for the sweater neckline.
Step 3: Cut six pieces of 1/8” wide strips from navy spiky chevrons tonal paper. Cut three squares to measure 2-1/2” x 2-1/2” from green spiky chevrons tonal paper.

Step 4: Place the Argyle Recipe Template so the middle of argyle design comes to 4-1/2” from the top of the sweater. Draw lines as shown. Adhere square pieces and narrow strips along the lines.

Step 5: Cut the navy spiky chevrons tonal paper to measure 11-1/4” x 11-1/4”. Adhere the sweater pieces. Add it to the bottom-left side of gingham designer paper.
Step 6: Cut mats to measure 4-1/4” x 4-1/4” and 4-1/4” x 5-1/4” from Cranberry Solid Cardstock. Cut mats to measure 4” x 4” and 4” x 5” from White Solid Cardstock. Make them double-mats and add to the page as shown.


Step 7: Adhere the stickers and embellishments, using Foam Squares on some for added dimension.
