Hi friends! It’s Kristina here to share a pocket page with you using some of the great goodies in the December kit and add-ons. This pocket page isn’t your typical December pocket page—it’s actually a page that I did to document some photos taken at the end of October and November. One of the things that I love and tell people over and over again is that the versatility of Elle’s products are just amazing. I’m going to show you some ways that I used the December products this month to work for me, even when I’m not doing typical holiday/seasonal projects.
Supplies | December 2020 Kit, Good Cheer Printables, Joyful Chipboard Stickers, Winter Wood Veneers
This pocket page spread is all about a laid back season of rest for my family. I wanted to document a page that shared some photos of the things we were doing during this time because we had slowed down our pace a bit and how much we were enjoying it.
One thing a lot of people forget about are the wonderful digital files that Elle offers every month. The “PURE MAGIC” tag that you see above on this page is one of those digital files from the Good Cheer Printables. The really cool thing is that you can add your journaling directly onto the tag (which is so easy and helps because the card I was going to use before this… let’s just say that I botched the journaling on it when I printed it!) and I even changed the color of the card from grey to this yellow that’s in the kit. I love how easy it is to edit the digital files and make them your own. See—even more versatility!
I really loved using the Joyful Chipboard Stickers on top of the photos and even though my date stamp didn’t quite get the entire year on it, I’m ok with it. I also used another one of the Good Cheer Printable tags to add the journaling that you see above. I wanted to add a bit of the blue to the card and so I make the border around the journaling box blue. I love how it turned out and it was so simple. Then I just added the journaling, printed out the card, cut it out and there ya go!
Something else that I love to do is layer embellishments. Taking a die cut label from the December 2020 Kit and adding a fun wooden embellishment from the Winter Wood Veneers to the top is an easy & fun way to add some dimension to your page. The die cut labels are so versatile, too! I have so many of them and they always come in handy for me when I’m wanting to layer some embellishments, add a smidge of journaling to a photo or even the date or location!
I also love cutting the die cut elements in half, just like you see here with the half circle heart shape. It’s actually a circle die cut, but remember, there are no rules, so play around with your embellishments! Cut things up, layer them and have fun. I loved the way the half circle heart looked above the wooden Winter Wood Veneer embellishment on top of the photo.
I hope this pocket page has shown you even more ways Elle’s products are so versatile and fun to use no matter what season you’re scrapbooking. Here’s to documenting our stories and using our products! Praying you and your families have a season full of joy this month and into the new year, friends.
