Hot chocolate in hand, cozy socks snuggling my feet, snowflakes falling—engage Christmas! I seriously can’t wait. To be honest, I am not sure what I enjoy more: the relaxing family time OR the getting ready. Decorating the house, making Christmas cards, looking on Pinterest for crafting ideas, planning a menu, attempting to bake (I am a terrible baker), walking around in the malls with a hot coffee enjoying the Christmas music, Christmas parties, AND Hallmark movies. Hands up if you are also a sucker for a sappy holiday romance.
Just making this little list brings a smile to my face and warms my heart. This winter issue is full of smilemakers and heart-warming projects. Bethany Hoskin’s New View layout on page(45) really pulled at my heart strings. Watching and seeing your children transform before your eyes is such a gift we are given. Leona
Derksen’s layout on page (48) shares the story of a loved one moving across the sea and choosing joy because missing would be too hard. This layout had me in tears. AND Genny Verbruggen’s layout on page (47) shares an absolutely adorable photo of her mom and Auntie Ann taking a selfie enjoying a milkshake! Those smiles warm my heart and remind me how good life is.
We are so lucky to have a hobby to capture these special moments. Moments put on paper that will be remembered forever. Captured smiles, captured emotions, and so many stories. Christmas may only be once a year, BUT the joy that scrapbooking gives us all—well that, my friends, lives on forever!
Enjoy all the little moments this holiday season. Big hugs!
Our First Issue 2005
It’s the smell of a new issue that instantly transports me to 2005 and our first issue. Jackie and I stood, full of nerves and excitement, watching the first issue being printed.
Nostalgia is a powerful thing. A longing for something that was. Sometimes I ask myself what exactly am I nostalgic for? Is it the events surrounding the early issues, or the innocence of starting something new, or the sheer exhilaration of seeing it take shape? Sometimes it is easy to understand. I am recalling specific people, fun times, or a few victories.
How about you? What triggers your nostalgia? Think back. With whom did you watch Friends, and what comes to mind? If you watched the Barbie movie, did it bring back old memories? If not Barbie, what movies, people, or keepsakes trigger great memories?
It’s the beauty of scrapbooking that keeps all this alive. Pull out your old albums and the shoebox holding old concert tickets, sports ribbons, Grandma’s necklace, and other memorabilia. Let the nostalgia wash over you. Where it takes you…that’s your next scrapping destination!
I also encourage you to revisit your albums over the years. Reconnect with your thoughts and feelings that propelled you to create them all those years ago. Now play it forward. What creative and powerful work can you do today to keep memories alive and fresh tomorrow? Let nostalgia inspire you!
Feeling the past, hugging today, and inspired for the future,

Winter photographs are filled with pristine beauty, puff-bundled children, and evidence of activity, despite the blanket of snow covering our part of the planet. Nature has determined that winter should be a time of quiet, restoration, and rest; ever-restless humans have decided otherwise and only rest after enjoying the snow! Our readers have lavished us with a gallery of layouts covering a multitude of things to do outdoors—each one a testament to our enjoyment of icy entertainment.
The quote attributed to Charles Dickens on Lorraine Melin’s layout says it best: “Nature
gives to every time and season some beauty of its own.”
And indeed, that beauty has spilled over into our Heart and Soul gallery to give us enjoyment!

The key to a visually interesting composition is using design principles such as proximity. Proximity is based on the nearness in space of elements. This works well here with the elements clustering in a band across the layout. And the negative space surrounding this band – at top and bottom – forces your eyes to focus on the contents.
Proximity is further enhanced with various textured papers overlapping the tags below. The grouping of these on the right and left sides of the layout create a nice balance.
2D versus 3D can be very effective in drawing the eye in. These decorative brads are the perfect addition.
The use of a handwritten note is a lovely balanced contrast with the decorative script typeface.
The black-and-white photo adds another level of contrast to the coloured papers; further enhancing the visual interest.
There are as many ways to celebrate through the Christmas season as there are families. Everyone has a unique blend of traditions, with elements taken from all parties as relationships and marriages bring people together. You might gather with a huge multi-generational crew or with a few special people or attend many celebrations of all sizes. You might attend religious services or celebrate secularly. Gifts may be exchanged, Santa may visit, and lots of holiday baking may be consumed. No matter how you mark the season, Christmas cards, with their joyful messages and family newsletters, connect people and let others know they are special to you. Everyone loves to receive holiday cards! This gallery is filled with greetings of all kinds and will inspire you to get creating so you can spread a little holiday cheer to your loved ones.

Selfie (n)- a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically taken with a smartphone or webcam and shared via social media. Selfie entered the English language via Australia in the early 2000s, gaining popularity with the expansion of technology and social media; it made an official appearance in the Oxford dictionary in 2013, after being named the “Word of the Year.” Ten years after gaining official word status, selfies are as ubiquitous as ever! Selfie composition has become more creative and pleasing—including people and scenery to mark occasions. However, the best part about selfies is that family photographers can appear in pictures too. Enjoy this gallery celebrating the selfie!

They grow up so fast—faster than our human babies! Although it varies from dog to dog and breed to breed, most puppies are considered fully grown by about a year! We BLINK, and they are no longer puppies!
In fact, I’m convinced puppies even grow and change overnight, so we need to have a plan to capture photos of them starting with the day you welcome them into your family.
This is Ace (Figure 1). He is my son and daughter-in-law’s puppy, and I have been watching him grow like a weed and doing my best to capture it! Just like with a newborn baby, I suggest intentionally taking photos every week for the first month, and then at least once a month for the first year. And of course, a ton of random pictures in between! The goal is to document the dramatic changes and phases of your puppy’s first year!
Here are some helpful tips when working with our furry friends!
1. Hire a professional photographer. Many photographers capture pets. Consider doing this at least once during your puppy’s first year, and make sure to get in some of the photos too!
2. Avoid using a flash. Not only does a flash often result in green, glowing eyes (the equivalent of red eyes in humans), but it can also startle pets. Instead, shoot in natural light.
3. Get down to their level. Try shooting from down low and even right on the ground to show life from their perspective (Figure 2).
4. Capture their personality. Are they super energetic or a little lazy? Do they tilt their head and look at you with big, sad eyes? Do they love to give you kisses? Freeze these moments in time through photos (Figure 3).
5. Play with a wide-angle lens. Wideangle lenses can distort in a fun way, so getting super close to Ace with my cellphone accentuated his cute face (Figure 4).
6. Try some fun filters. In Figure 5, I took the wide-angle photo of Ace and created a fun “Disney” cartoon of him using Fotor.com. There are a ton of fun filters online to play with.
7. Create a dedicated social media page for your puppy. Not everyone enjoys seeing so many pet photos, so consider starting a page just for your pet where those who want to can follow. Check out Ace’s Instagram page at acetheaustralian (see QR Code above).
Finally, be sure to include puppy photos in your scrapbooks and memory books! They are truly family members worthy of being preserved as part our lives.
Wars have been fought for gold, and territories conquered because of it. Gold’s history is integral to the human experience; it honours excellence and denotes status and abundance. The gold standard signifies the very best a discipline has to offer, and this gallery featuring the colour gold is no exception.
Gold is the perfect touch for important holidays and celebrations, extra special moments, and new beginnings. It’s no wonder these paper artists have chosen gold for their graduation, Christmas, and New Year’s celebrations, or cards and warm-hearted memories. There is no fool’s gold here…only pure, gleaming goodness!

SUPPLIES: Kraft coloured paper lunch bags, Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stain, hot glue, scissors, hole punch and string.
1.
Gather eight lunch-sized paper bags. Apply hot glue down the middle of one bag and then a line at the bottom of the bag.
Grab a pencil and mark your cuts, or you can freehand the cuts to create a paper snowflake. I notched two small half circles halfway down the bag and cut a triangle at the top.
Adhere the next paper bag right over top adhering bottom to bottom and top to top. Repeat the glue for each bag until all eight are glued together.
With your design cut, grab the two ends of the bags and fold out to reveal the whole snowflake. You can glue the two ends together for a permanent snowflake, or use a small clip such as a paperclip to connect the ends for easy, compact storage. I spritzed Broken China Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stain to the edges of my snowflake. Allow a few minutes to dry, and repeat for a darker colour. At the tip of the snowflake, use a hole punch and twine, tinsel, or fishing wire to string your snowflakes up.

SCRAPS OF INFO Here is a look inside Cathie’s card.
Apply drops of moss green, amber, and chianti pigment re-inkers to a piece of acetate, and mist liberally with water.
Pull the acetate apart. Add drops of evergreen pigment ink in a few areas on one piece of acetate sheets. Mist liberally with water. Place the second piece on top. Move the ink slightly in the same manner as Step 2.
Stamp the sheet onto a piece of soft-finish cardstock. Repeat stamping until you are happy with the background. You can create many backgrounds from these two stamping sheets. Let dry.
Place a second piece of acetate on top, and move the sandwiched ink around with your fingers.
Pull the acetate sheets apart. We just created TWO stamping sheets.
Working in small sections, add Krylon gold leafing pen to background. Immediately add drops of alcohol blending solution on top of the gold leafing pen. Use a small piece of crinkled plastic wrap to dab over top and move gold around. Repeat over the entire background until happy.

Place red candy cane paper into Original Border Maker System paper tray. Insert the Candy Cane Stripe Border Maker Cartridge into the cartridge holder. Slide paper into the cartridge holder and punch; then slide the punch housing to the next notch on the guide. Continue until you’ve punched six times.
Use repositionable adhesive to adhere the double-punched border strip to a 2.75″ × 12″ piece of white cardstock to create the base for border. 3.
Customize each Nutcracker by punching additional border strips from black cardstock and any other papers you wish to use. Use Micro-Tip Scissors to cut various bases, legs, shirts, and crowns from these extra border strips. Then use Repositionable Adhesive to layer and “dress” each Nutcracker. Adhere border strip to border base with Foam Squares.
Remove punched paper and trim to 2.25″ in width. Rotate paper and place into Border Maker System paper tray as before. TIP: Use sticky notes to hold paper strip in place! Punch paper six times.
Insert beige cardstock into the Nutcracker Border Punch, aligning the edge with one of the black lines on the front of the punch. Punch, and then move the cardstock until the punched Nutcracker shape matches the picture of the Nutcracker printed on the base plate. Repeat four more times.
Use Tape Runner Adhesive to adhere a 10.5″ × 9.5″ rectangle and a 10″ × 9″ rectangle to the base page. Adhere completed border down the centre, and add two 3″ × 4″ photos on either side. Add embellishments and journaling to complete the layout.

Welcome to "Love Letters" a series of lettering articles written and illustrated by Kelly Klapstein. In each issue, Kelly will guide you through easy-to-follow tips and tricks as you learn the beautiful art of hand lettering.
Lots of people think of hand-lettering as fancy writing or calligraphy. You don’t need perfect skills to hand-letter a holiday card. Making a card is always a personal gift of your time and creativity, so let’s add to your cardmaking toolbox by including your own writing in your designs.
Here is an easy way to make “gift box” Christmas cards using cardstock, ribbon, and pens!
1. Gather your supplies: smooth cardstock; black, white, and red pens; ribbon; twine; adhesive; trimmer.
2. Choose a holiday phrase, and write it repeatedly on your cardstock, either straight across or diagonally.
3. You can also use more than one colour of pen. I added white highlights.
4. Tie a ribbon or twine around your paper like you would on a gift box.
5. Apply foam tape to the back of the cardstock.
6. Adhere your hand-lettering paper to a cardbase.
You can use this technique to make your own gift tags too. I also had some fun creating tags by writing with an embossing pen and then heating embossing powder to create beautiful, shiny, raised lettering designs.

There are many aspects of the cool winter months that I enjoy and look forward to, such as the crisp blue skies, the trees losing their leaves as they prepare for a chilly rest, the birds that stick around for our enjoyment, and freshly fallen snow to brighten the stark landscape, so I wanted to incorporate these elements into a project. I found it was easy to select the colours and
textures for this grungy triptych, using black and white as a contrast to the blues and browns that I adore. Only two colours were used to create the triptych, along with heavy gesso. The tea bags I used soaked up the inks beautifully and gave a rusty appearance that I love. You can see each layer of grunge from the initial layer of paste to the focal imagery on each page.

Heavy gesso, or molding paste, is a great medium to use on the background. Applying light scrapes with a palette knife over the surface causes a reaction with the inks, creating a glorious texture.
die cuts ground the project, and of course, I must have a circle, a metal element, and a number. This is just my thing.
The three pages were created together as a whole, yet each one can be cut apart and framed, or made into a card for a dear friend. It’s easy creating through the seasons with nature as a muse. I hope you give it a try!
Create a triptych from watercolour paper measuring 6″ × 15″ Score at 5″ and 10″. Use a large palette knife to scrape a light coat of heavy gesso across the surface, leaving the edges clean. Inks dry lighter in colour when applied to gesso. The edges will be darker where there is no gesso, creating a beautiful frame to the page. Let dry.
Die cut out florals, circle, polaroid frame, and twigs from cardstock. Flatten your recycled tea bags. While the above panel is still wet, dip your recycled tea bags and die cuts onto the inky surface to pick up some of the colour. Set aside to dry.
Layering die cuts onto the background stamping gives depth and dimension to the project. This technique is especially well-suited to landscapes.
Spray water lightly over the dried surface. Apply a small amount of Gathered Twigs Distress re-inker here and there to the surface, and spray with water and/or use a paintbrush to move the colour around. Puddles can be mopped up with a wad of Kleenex if needed. Spray open areas with Weathered Wood Distress Spray Stain. Repeat until you are happy. 2.
4.
Heat set the panel to dry. Then add splatters of water on the surface. After a few seconds, dab the water away to reveal a snowy texture. When happy with the results, heat set to dry.
Tear pieces of tea bag, and apply to the surface with matte medium in three areas: left side of the first page, off centre in the middle page, and along the bottom of the third page.
Stamp a tree background in Jet Black Ranger Archival ink to the bottom of the third panel. Also stamp a bird at the edge of the tree line. Add scrapes of heavy gesso along the outer edges of the panels, and here and there where the background might need to be lighter. Let dry, and then repeat the gesso application, as the ink will absorb the gesso.
Stamp a quote on a piece of tea bag. Die cut birds, numbers, and twigs from black cardstock. Gather various embellishments from your stash. I used a twig, eco-dyed fabric, a cardboard circle made to look like rusted metal, a small safety pin, and a small brad.
Use a texture stamp and Watering Can Ranger Archival ink to add background texture here and there.
Here is a close up look of the gesso application applied in Step 7.
Now decorate the panel set aside in Step 7, using elements from Step 3 and Step 8. Everyone’s will look different depending on what you gather from your

Besides being a pleasing design element, circles are full of symbolic meaning.
A circle can mean wholeness, unity, connection, and eternity. They can be timeless.
In Indigenous teachings, the circle encapsulates the eternal balance of life and death. The medicine wheel captures all four directions, seasons, and elements, holding all knowledge in a sacred circle.
This gallery of wonderful projects featuring circles celebrates love, connection, and timeless memories.
Margie Skanes’s layout shows the full circle completion of a satisfying career and cheekily states they are now “off the clock”!
Bubble circles emphasize the water theme in Pam Colosimo’s layout of the cutest Little Mermaid.

Clustering combines items that have a similar story to tell into a group – of several groups – to create focus. It’s a way of creating visual interest. This layout does this very well. All the items of this adverture in December are grouped together to tell this story.
This single “title” acts as such becuase it is treated differently than the main cluster of imagery.
Vertical elements often get seen as image first then message second.
Pairing typefaces relys on contrast for the two to work. This is a good example of contrast in style and size.
Conceptual effects can be a great tool in complementing other elements. This splatter effect acts as “snow” without literally being snow.

1. Using the Christmas Tree die set, die cut your tree, using green patterned cardstock from the Holly Jolly Christmas paper pack as shown. Then die cut your reinforcer strip, using striped cardstock backed with double-sided adhesive. Use the ornament cutout to die cut ornament pieces from metallic kraft stock and red patterned cardstock backed with double-sided adhesive.
2. The base page pictured is die cut using the Tab 6 with Turnbutton Frame die set with cardstock from the Rustic Winter paper pack. Use the ornament cutout again on your green base tree. (This could also be done simultaneously when cutting out the tree.) Cut out your reinforcers using any black cardstock backed with double-sided adhesive, and adhere them to your reinforcer strip.
3. Using a fanned brush and your white acrylic paint diluted with a small amount of water, add splatter to your tree for a snow effect. For easy cleanup, set your tree in a recycled box before splattering.
4. Using a fine-tipped, clear-finish glue of your choice, glue your tree to the base page. Edge your reinforcer strip, tree, and base page with the frayed burlap distress ink, and then adhere to the page, decorating with ornaments as desired.
5. Using the Planner Essentials 54 set, cut out your belly band from red cardstock, and the Christmas tree seal in gold and green. Assemble as shown. Edge the band with the frayed burlap distress ink. Die cut your image with the Pocket Set Chevron Circle die, and back it with a gold ornament cut with any larger circle die, using glue. Hole punch the ornament, and apply your reinforcer. Then tie a red ribbon through the hole. Die cut your tag, edge with frayed burlap, and add a sentiment of your choosing. Then attach to the band, using twine. Adhere the band and ornament to the page as shown, and trim your band to fit.
6. Finally, apply double-sided adhesive to your black cardstock, and die cut “Christmas” using the Alphabet Tabs set. Die cut corresponding blank tabs from your gold paper, and then adhere your black letter cutouts to the gold tabs. Assemble to your page as shown, and enjoy your finished page!
It is trees and wreaths, Santa and the Elves, gatherings of all sorts, visits and cards, new family members and pets joining in the fun, and holly jolly baking and feasts of family recipes shared with the next generation. All of these and more are packaged into layouts about our Christmas traditions and memories and shared with you in our seasonal gallery that celebrates everything Christmas!

What a fabulous idea to take a photo all your handmade Christmas cards and then scrapbook the memory!
By Jennifer Edwardson
Winter has always been my favourite time to craft. On long, cold days you’ll find me hiding away in my creative space, reliving my family’s memories as I get them into albums. Sketches are a fabulous way to get several projects completed in a short time!
Jennifer Edwardson
Duncan, British Columbia
SUPPLIES: Simple Stories cardstock, patterned paper, journal Bits & Pieces, stickers and die cuts, American Crafts Thickers 3D foam squares and cardstock, Heidi Swapp date stamp, Close To My Heart ink, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L tape runner, Art Glitter liquid adhesive.
There are so many layout options in just one sketch, and with a little pre-planning, you can create countless pages based on one bit of inspiration! Scan and join
To begin, get out a paper crafting kit or a collection of products with all the coordinating pieces, and then lay out multiple bases with your photos and a few embellishments on top. With a little organization, you will complete so many more pages with one sketch. Though you may not finish them all in one crafty session, you’ll be ready to go the next time you sit down to create!
I hope that you make time to scraplift these (3) different-sized layouts based on the same 12 ″ × 12 ″ Sketch!

Is there anything more wonderful than love? Finding your person to walk through all of life’s ups, downs, and occasional loop-de-loos is something to celebrate! Valentines express our deep feelings of love and appreciation for our partners, family members, and even our galentines—those women who support us in endless ways—with puns, hearts and flowers, and simple sentiments. Love brings out the best in us, and is always worth celebrating. Our SWAK card gallery is overflowing with love, and we know you are going to be entranced by it!

This holiday season, immerse yourself in the little, happy moments – cutting paper with the sharpest of scissors, liquid glue that comes out on the first squeeze, stamping ONCE and it’s perfect, a paint pen that works, and of course an endless supply of 3D foam squares. In the end, as scrapbookers, it really is Christmas all year long! Oh, and be sure to always say YES to a stroll down a street that looks like this! ALWAYS!
