After having to put it away in 2019 due to kitten shenanigans, we got to have our tree out in 2020! We left all of the fragile ornaments off of it, but it’s a step in the right direction. #scrapbooking #scrapbook #8x8layout #8x8scrapbook #holidayscrapbooking #donebydecember #scrappychristmasinjuly #feedyourcraft #merryandmagical #inacreativebubble #ellesstudio #papercrafts #papercrafting #memorykeeping https://www.instagram.com/p/CU-TgIjA16K/?utm_medium=tumblr

My wish for a white Christmas came true! But it also meant getting snowed in, which only contributed to the isolation that was Christmas at home in 2020. This was a unique year where I had already documented multiple snows in this album, so I kept this layout simple and dressed it up with some big acrylic snowflakes from my stash of holiday embellishments. #scrapbooking #scrapbook #8x8layout #8x8scrapbook #holidayscrapbooking #donebydecember #scrappychristmasinjuly #feedyourcraft #merryandmagical #inacreativebubble #ellesstudio #papercrafts #papercrafting #memorykeeping https://www.instagram.com/p/CU7eioXAVTp/?utm_medium=tumblr

I bought the new Merry and Magical kit from @feedyourcraft, and since I’m still working on my 2020 holiday album, I went straight to playing with it when it came in the mail this week! It’s such a festive and fun kit, and the products paired super well with the items and other stamps I pulled in from my stash from from @paperperson.shop and @everydayexplorersco. I wasn’t even planning to scrap this photo for my album, but Paper Person pretty much forced my hand by making that “Red Cup Day 2020” sticker. I really had no choice. #scrapbooking #scrapbook #8x8layout #8x8scrapbook #holidayscrapbooking #donebydecember #scrappychristmasinjuly #feedyourcraft #merryandmagical #paperperson #paperpersonshop #inacreativebubble #everydayexplorersco #papercrafts #papercrafting #memorykeeping https://www.instagram.com/p/CU26CgHFc3Y/?utm_medium=tumblr

Wrapping presents around cats is always an adventure. They can’t get enough of the paper, scissors, and string. It’s almost like scrapbooking around cats! #scrappychristmasinjuly #donebydecember #holidayscrapbooking #8x8layout #scrapbooklayout #paperperson #scrapbooking #memorykeeping #papercrafts #papercrafting https://www.instagram.com/p/CUFu6RyF0b6/?utm_medium=tumblr

I loved documenting what holiday parties were like in 2020 while we were all working from Ho-Ho-Home! I used three pages in my album to collage together screenshots from three different virtual work gatherings, and when I ended up with no room left for journaling, I added a 3x8 insert, which gave me room to use some cute themed products from #paperpersonshop. I totally love the result, because beside this being such a unique year, the virtual format allowed me to capture the faces of all of these great people I get to work with, while my previous albums only feature photos of a few close colleagues. #scrappychristmasinjuly #holidayscrapbooking #8x8layout #scrapbooklayout #paperperson #prettylittlestudio #scrapbooking #memorykeeping #papercrafts #papercrafting https://www.instagram.com/p/CTztq5fFpa6/?utm_medium=tumblr

If last year taught me anything, it’s that I can do without seeing friends and family at Christmastime, as long as I still have my favorite holiday movies and specials. 😆 I’ve documented our seasonal viewing in various ways over the years, but since I used the Letterboxd app last year to curate a list of my very favorites, I decided to screenshot and print the list right from the app and capture it in my album. #scrappychristmasinjuly #holidayscrapbooking #8x8layout #scrapbooklayout #ellesstudio #paperperson #colorcastdesigns #scrapbooking #memorykeeping #papercrafts #papercrafting #letterboxed #holidaymovies #christmasspecials https://www.instagram.com/p/CTxCsclgXJU/?utm_medium=tumblr

In case you haven’t noticed the trend, the kittens were truly the stars of our holiday photos in 2019. They had endless amounts of fun in this box of wrapping paper, and this page fits perfectly in my album right after our Christmas celebrating. #scrappychristmasinjuly #prettylittlestudio #colorcastdesigns #8x8layout #8x8scrapbook #holidayscrapbooking #holidayscrapbook #memorykeeping #scrapbooking #papercrafts #papercrafting https://www.instagram.com/p/CTADQ_yr93y/?utm_medium=tumblr

My holiday album progress during #scrappychristmasinjuly was pretty limited, but I knocked out some more pages in my 2019 album over the weekend. I made this quick layout to accompany another one I had already made about how our kittens couldn’t handle themselves around the Christmas tree. #8x8layout #scrapbooking #scrapbook #memorykeeping #papercrafting #holidayscrapbooking #ellesstudio #prettylittlestudio #christmasscrapbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CS6hnn2LDzl/?utm_medium=tumblr
