Christmas Scrapbook Ideas: Creating Holiday Memory Pages with Simple Stories
Christmas Memories, Made Extra Magical with Simple Stories
There is just something about Christmas crafting that makes me want to pull out ALL the paper, stickers, pretty little embellishments, and, of course, a big stack of printed photos. Add a little Christmas music and a Diet Coke, and I'm a happy girl!
If you've been around Persnickety Box for a while, you know how much we love finding creative ways to use our printed photos. And one of our favorite crafty brands to pair with our prints? Simple Stories! Simple Stories has the most adorable collection of scrapbook supplies, patterned papers, stickers, journaling cards, and embellishments/ephemera. Their designs make it so easy to take your favorite photos and turn them into something extra special. Whether you're a seasoned scrapbooker or someone who just likes to play with pretty paper, there's something for you!
A Christmas Spread Worth Remembering
For this project, I pulled out my Persnickety Box prints and our Persnickety Box Journal to create a little Christmas memory keeping magic. I love that the Journal already gives you a place for both photos and journaling, so you have the perfect starting point. From there, it's all about making it your own!
I paired my prints with Simple Stories' Christmas-themed papers and embellishments, layering little pieces together to create pages that feel festive, fun, and full of personality.
Think cute Christmas phrases, tiny stickers, patterned paper, little tags, and all the sweet details that make you want to look at a page over and over again. And can we talk about how GOOD Christmas photos look alongside all those festive colors and patterns? It's a match made in scrapbook heaven.
Simple Stories and Persnickety Box Prints
One of my favorite things about Simple Stories is how easy their supplies make it to get creative without having to start completely from scratch.
Here are a few ways I love using their products with Persnickety Box prints:
Layered paper: Use patterned paper to create little borders, backgrounds, or photo mats. It's such an easy way to add color and dimension to your pages.
Stickers and embellishments: Add little details around your photos to help tell the story. A tiny Christmas tree, a cute phrase, or a few stars can make all the difference.
Tags for little details: These are some of my favorite finishing touches. A perfect space to jot down a few memories you don’t want to forget. They make everything feel a little more collected and personal.
You don't need to be an expert scrapbooker to make something beautiful. Just start with a few favorite photos, pick a color palette you love, and have fun playing around with the supplies.
Reminder to Print Your Christmas Memories!
The holidays always seem to fly by. One minute you're decorating the tree, and the next you're packing away the wrapping paper and wondering where December went. That's why we love having printed photos ready to craft with. Instead of letting all those sweet moments live on your camera roll, you can turn them into something you'll actually flip through, share, and enjoy for years to come. And if you're anything like us, you'll probably have just as much fun making the pages as you do looking back at the memories!
If you're looking for some fresh inspiration for your holiday memory keeping, go check out Simple Stories. Their adorable supplies are such a fun way to dress up your Persnickety Box prints and make your Christmas memories even more special.
Now go grab those photos, pull out the pretty paper, and make something you love. Happy crafting, friends!
