Everybody Loves Christmas


The vibrancy and whimsical nature of Echo Parks Everybody Loves Christmas really shouts out to my creative inner self - I just LOVE all of the releases from this relatively new kid on the block.....they certainly hit the right buttons for me and I'm looking forward to getting my mitts on some of their new Be Mine collection very soon - I'm thinking ahead to Valentines projects and a trip to Paris to celebrate my 21st Wedding Anniversary in March!!

Over the past few weeks Ive found myself scrapping more double page layouts than ever before - I'm liking the way I can easily attack the mountain of photos I have waiting to be scrapped - I like the way that multiphoto pages tend to tell more of a story - after all that's what scrapbooking is all about!! Im also journaling on my pages a lot more since I started this double page thing.....I wonder how long it will last????

Here's a double page layout using Everybody Love Christmas -

I couldn't help myself - I had to hang those baubles from the top of the page!!

I also whizzed up a simple little minibook using the same collection -


and this is how I created it - click on images to see bigger size

I love the double LO, you reminded me I don't do enough of them. "Everybody Loves Christmas" has to be the most vibrant colours out for a Christmas collection, simply goes with everything and everyone. I love the mini book too, I just find them so useful for family gifts. http://pjbear-determinedscrapper.blogspot.com/
