Have you scrapped any Christmas photos, yet?

They are my next layout. My dogs are always in the pictures too.

We were only able to see 4 of our gc this year. I picked 4 pictures and took advantage of 4 free art prints from shutterfly. I'm going to do a few pages of some professional pics, too, but that's all I'm going to do this year.

I haven't scrapped Christmas 2016 yet. Going to a 3 day crop this weekend and plan to get it done.

Ha ha ...no. I haven't even printed them.

I love your embellishment clusters in the upper corners of each layout. I am stealing the first one for sure!

And, I love your mantle. I wish mine was that dark stain.

I have not. I actually just caught up on photo printing this past weekend and will be getting photos through about the 19th or 20th of this month sometime this week. I had to print almost 6 months worth of photos, so it took a while to catch up. It will also be a while before I can do much with any of the photos as I have a process of what I do when I receive them. I date the backs of each photo using a photo safe marker, cut up the collaged pictures if necessary, sort by date, put in my PL album and then I can play with them. Since I have so many to do, it will probably be a while before I can play!

Last Friday I did 2 layouts from Christmas 2006. It's the Christmas year I've been working on.

Beautiful layouts KikiPea and @elaynef!

Loved hearing your process scrapaddict702!

I'm slowly working on my December Documented. I cleaned my kit back up in hopes touching all of it would make me more productive, plus who doesn't love to just look at all their pretties?

A list of 20 pages grammadee? That's a complete album! Do you keep your Christmas pages in a separate album or do they go in a continuous album or albums throughout the year? If you can't tell, I love hearing how others do their albums.

Every year, I do 4 albums:  one for each season.  When we have a quiet Christmas, those pages go into the Winter album.  On years when we see everyone--or nearly everyone--those Christmas pages morph into their own album.  Even then, I always include a few Christmas pages in the Winter book.  The only adjustment I need to make in my scrapping is--because I almost always do 2-pagers--is that if I do an extra book, then I need to do single pages for the front and back of it, as well as the front and back of the seasonal album.

Many of those titles on this year's list could go either way.  For example, cousins playing outside in the snow--or even inside in the basement--will prob go into the Winter album, even though they were playing there at Gramma & Grampa's farm at Christmas.  (and justjac gave me a "Boy Cousins" mini collection for Christmas this year, so those photos will prob be scrapped with those papers)  But cousins making Christmas ornaments would definitely fit in the Christmas album.

It also depends on how many other winter photos I have.  Some years, the Winter album would be pretty thin unless I included the holiday pages.  But it is looking like I will have lots of photos for both this year, so the probability of a Christmas book developing is pretty high.  Right now, though, I am just putting pages together and piling them on a table in the living room.  I can slot them into the album(s) when I run out of photos, ideas, glue, or creative steam--whatever comes first!

Love the layouts grammadee! Splitting the year into seasons really does make it easier in the long run, I'm sure! Thanks for sharing how you do your albums.

Me too.



Your layouts are gorgeous, KikiPea

Love everyone's pages! I'll do mine next month when I get home from my holiday;)
