Holly Jolly Christmas | Joyful Collection | Mandy Melville

Hello everyone!

Mandy here today to share some more inspiration featuring the gorgeous new Joyful collection! I’m absolutely loving using this collection to document some fun festive photos from Christmas last year, and on this layout I chose to scrapbook a beautiful photo of my girls on the day we decorated our tree.

I decided on using the Deck the Halls paper as the background for my layout, and I trimmed it down so that I could matt it with the gorgeous Tis the Season paper. I framed it with both the red and the floral side of the paper. The colours in this collection are so fresh and pretty, and I wanted to feature lots of those beautiful colours and patterns on this page.

Next I chose a few patterned papers from the A5 Paper Stack, and I layered them together to create a matt for for my photo to sit on. I outlined the pink paper with a white gel pen to give it some extra definition. I also matted my photo with a couple of the A5 papers, and then I adhered it with craft foam.

Of course I couldn’t resist fussy cutting some of those stunning florals on the Tis the Season paper! I created an embellishment cluster on the bottom left hand corner of the photo using the florals, and I also tucked in the sweetest little Chipboard bird, and a Wood Epoxy Button.

I created a second cluster of embellishments to the right of the photo. In this cluster I included another fussy cut floral, as well as a few Die Cuts, and another Wood Epoxy Button. I just love the adorable little woodland creatures in this collection! I also added a Chipboard banner on the top right hand corner of the photo. The gold foiling on the stickers in this collection adds such a nice touch to Christmas projects!

For my title I combined a couple of the little word stickers from the Accessory Sticker sheet with the ‘Jolly’ Die Cut, to create the phrase ‘Holly Jolly Christmas’. I added this along the bottom of my photo. To finish the layout off I sprinkled around some gold stars from the Puffy Gold Title Stickers.

Thank you so much for joining me here on the blog today! I hope that you’ve been inspired to get those festive photos scrapped using this beautiful collection!

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas and New Year, and I will see you back here on the blog in 2022!
