Project Life: Christmas Gifts and Tags



This layout idea is for sentimental people (like me! :) ) who never throw away cards and gift tags received from family and friends...

I love Becky Higgins' Design A page protectors, the 3x4" pockets are perfect for holding memorabilia. Other sleeves that I recommend for this project are Design B, D, F, K, and V.

More suggestions on what to add to your December pages:


1. On the journaling card, write down a list of the gifts that you received (and gifts you gave, so you won't forget & make a mistake to give the same item next year!) :)

2. Photos of the gifts you got.  I do this by category, because I love seeing all of my new scrapbook and office supplies in one place! Check out the photo beside the Merci card below  :)

3. Photo of your holiday gift wrap theme. This year I used some patterns from the Scandinavia Style Wrapping Paper book. 










This "Merci  / Thank you" card by Heidi Swapp was originally 4 x 6" and had lines at the bottom part. Really wanted to use it as my title card because it suits my layout theme of gratitude, so I cut it to fit into the horizontal pocket





My gift tags have too much colors and design elements..so I decided that for my background "filler" cards, I'll use the ones that have subtle patterns, neutral colors (or close to the color of the tag - like the Seafoam cards) so that the overall spread will look easy on the eye.

Note: My mom almost threw away this handlettered giftwrap by my sister! This explains why it's crumpled :/ (Rissy's my nickname, by the way)
