Step by step instructions to scrapbooking a Christmas theme

 Whether you love to create scrapbooking themes in your photo album or just want to scrapbook a page to feel creative, today I am showing you how to scrapbook a Christmas theme.

I am going to use an A4 art book, so the pages are a bit thicker than a normal exercise book. You can use the same scrapbooking resources and then add photos to the top of the scrapbooking at the end if you like.

Let’s start with the resources. For those in Australia, I bought this last year and hadn’t opened it till now. It’s from Kmart and I looked this year and they are selling a similar or same one again. 

The pack comes with thick card paper sheets, some paper cut outs and stickers. I have a photo of some Christmas washi tape below that I believe I also bought from Kmart last year. 


Now go get your glue stick, scissors and anything else you may want to include. I wanted to use this scrapbooking craft pack I bought but I do have a tonne more Christmas stickers but decided not to use them for today’s adventure. 

Ok cut up your chosen Christmas scrapbooking paper (you can even use Christmas wrapping paper as the background.) 

Then glue it to the page. 


Now normally I don’t add washi tape to the picture until the very end. As I like to frame the picture with washi tape. This time though I decided to add the washi tape next. I don’t also use more than four lengths of washi tape but today, I tried something different and added a few lengths of washi tape to the middle / top part of the page. 


Next I added some medium sized paper cut outs of Christmas designs and glued them to the page.
 I really liked Santa in the bottom corner and also added a paper cut frame around him to sort of make him the focus. I thought maybe I should add something to the bottom left but I thought the reindeer was the focus in that space so decided against it. 


I then added some stickers. You may or may not be able to see the gold sparkly Merry Christmas letter stickers.
Letter stickers are a bit harder because I had to focus on them being in line with each other. Whereas the other Christmas stickers, I just plonked down, in different angles.
Stickers are fun to use. I love stickers. 

Below is the final end product! 


See it’s not hard to scrapbook, it’s just some of us feel we have to place things in the most perfect spot or it’s ruined. Try to have a relaxed approach with scrapbooking and just be creative.

Reshuffling my craft space for scrapbooking

When you feel uninspired change up your craft space  So I haven’t been scrapbooking as much because I have a set of drawers with stickers, washi tape and other cool stationery and then I have my tub of scrapbooking paper in my cupboard.  I was thinking about what I could do to bring my scrapbooking closer. Here’s a photo of my tub of scrapbooking paper. Look how undesirable it looks. Inside I have large paper about A4 size and A3. Then I have 12x12 inch paper. Plus an ice cream tub full of scrap paper.  It just made me feel unsatisfied and what makes me excited to work on a hobby is that I can see the resources and get excited to get started. But this set-up was not empowering me. I started brainstorming about maybe making a craft space. I found a table from IKEA with draws on both sides that I could put my scrapbooking paper and accessories in as well as my diamond painting. I also found a desk backing which is like a three level high shelving that attaches to the table....

Crocheting my first blanket and how you can to

Finding a relaxing crochet project for beginners So I decided that crocheting animals etc. is pretty stressful. Not really stressful but not relaxing. A cool end result but I wanted to find something to crochet where I didn’t have to count the stitches or focus on the different type of stitches. So I decided to crochet a simple blanket.  I just wanted to use a small amount of stitches and not count them. I didn’t want to do anything fancy. But I still wanted to crochet. I believe if I could find something to stitch that I could just relax doing it than it was worth it. I started googling a simply blanket planet using single crochet stitch. It’s simple start off with the first row with a chain stitch and then turn it over and do the rest with a single crochet stitch. Brilliant.  Why single crochet blankets don't work without a chain stitch So I started crocheting a baby blanket. It didn’t work out. The sides were uneven and the blanket was all different lengths. So I googled an...
