Ho Ho Ho | Joyful collection | Mandy Melville

Hello everyone!

Mandy here today to share a new layout featuring the ever-so-sweet Joyful collection. I’m still documenting our Christmas memories and for this page I chose to scrapbook a few family pics from our annual tree decorating day. Of course I couldn’t go past using the lovely Joyful collection with it’s fresh colours and super cute woodland creatures.

My favourite patterned paper in this collection is the gorgeous Holly Days paper. I’ve already created two other layouts featuring the beautiful wreath from this paper, but I love it so much that I wanted to use it again for this layout! I started with this paper as my background and used the wreath design to frame my three square photos. Each of the photos were matted with a different patterned paper from the A5 Paper Stack to help them pop off the page, and one of the photos was adhered with craft foam for extra dimension.

I fussy cut some additional flowers from the beautiful Tis the Season paper to add around the wreath. This again helped give the layout some additional movement and dimension. I embellished around the photos with various die cuts including the cute little squirrel and a banner with the phrase ‘The most wonderful time’.

In the centre of a couple of the flowers I added a Gold Glitter Puffy Star. I love the extra sparkle and pizzazz that this adds to the page! Perfect for a Christmas themed layout! For my title I chose the ‘Ho Ho Ho’ chipboard sticker.

I created a little embellishment cluster at the bottom of the wreath that includes a sweet reindeer die cut and a couple of gifts. To add the date to my layout I used a label from the Accessory Sticker sheet. A sprinkling of die cut, puffy and gold stars were the final finishing touches to the page.

Thanks so much for joining me here on the blog today! I’ll be back later in the month with another project to share!
