Joy To The World - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I have a Christmas scrapbook page to share made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard and following the Imaginarium Designs February theme of the colour RED. 

I find that Christmas is such a busy time that although I take lots of photos I dont get much time to scrap them. So this is better late than never - note that the photo was taken in December 2015 lol!
I started by using white cardstock and one of my favourite TCW stencils (12x12 Tile mania) and some "lipstick" Colour Blast paste, then adding splatters of Luminarte Primary Elements in poppy red. 

When this had dried I cut it down and backed it with some red patterned paper from Pink Fresh Studio "Escape the ordinary" collection. 
I matted my photos with white paper doilies and attached them to the page as shown.

All of the chipboard was painted with the Poppy Red Luminarte Primary Elements. I often prefer to paint it on rather than spray as there is less mess and wastage. 
I then added some paper flowers. 
Lastly I added some splatters of black Heidi Swapp Colorshine.

Christmas Planning - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I have a Christmas planner to share with you made using lots of fun products available in the  Scrapping Clearly Store

I know Christmas is over now but this might inspire you for next year:)

The basis for this project was made from cardstock, some pages I designed in MS Word and printed and the Fancy Pants Designs Joy Parade 6x6 paper pad. I know this paper collection is not Christmas themed but it is so fun and bright and suits the summery weather here in Australia!
I started by trimming the cardstock into 4 of card sized pieces (approx 15cm x 21cm). then I folded each in half and stapled together using a long armed stapler. 
Next I trimmed my Christmas printables to approx 8.7cm x 10.5cm and sheets of the Fancy Pants Designs Joy Parade 6x6 paper pad to 9.5cm x 14cm.  
I attached a piece of the patterned paper to each page as well as a printable. For the cover I attached a diecut and puffy stickers from the Fancy Pants Designs "Joy Parade" collection and a wood veneer from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio "Tis The Season" collection.   
 
 
I have deliberately kept the embellishments to a minimum so that the booklet is not bulky as I carry it around in my handbag in the lead-up to Christmas.

Here are some pictures of each of the pages in the booklet. These first pages are for my Christmas card list. You could design the printables to suit your own planning style. Isnt this puffy sticker fun!!
I've used more puffy stickers on these "gift list" pages - I love the collection of dot, and word stickers. 
These pages are form my family gift list and a spot to attach my Christmas letter. 
I also keep a record of gifts received - mainly to help remind my children who gave them what and also ideas for future gifts :) 
These pages are just for adding some fun memories - using these brag cards .  
I made my own calendars for November/December, great to keep track of events! 
Lastly some pages for Christmas day notes, menu plans etc. 

I hope this has inspired you to make your fun planner - they are also a great way to record and remember gifts you have purchased in previous years!!
