I am enjoying adding to my special Christmas Album. My 2001 pictures are also small on resolution so not the best but the memories brought back by making these 2 pages were like it was yesterday. Again, the photos were taken with a very old iPhone back in 2001 so here they don't look great but on the layouts they are quite clear.
I use a Canon Selphy 1500 and these pics were printed at 3x4. I did leave a small white border around that is actually part of the photo paper. I then used Pool Party for the mats.
DSP (Snowy Scenes) for top and the bottom borders are accented with Garden Green CS.
Happy Christmas stamp is from an older stamp set, Snow Wonder. I used a die from Stylish Shapes and Dimensionals.
I stamped White Willow 12" x 12" pages using Snowy Wonder with Garden Green ink pad 2nd generation. The wreaths and other evergreen trees are die cut using Snowy Wonder dies and Stampin' Write Markers for coloring with Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green. I used Nuvo Crystal Drops for the berries on the wreaths.
For my snowman snowglobe I used the die that fit the image on the DSP Snowy Scenes. The "globe" piece is adhered with glue and Dimensionals used for the globe base. I also used the globe die to cut a piece of Window Sheets (acetate) and then ran through embossing machine to create a snowy effect. The embossing folder I used is an older Stampin' Up!™ folder named Softly Falling.I did use Mono Multi-Purpose glue just dabbing little dots on the edges of the window film.
Presents bottom right on 2nd page are stamped from Filled With Cheer and fussy cut. Colored with Stampin' Write markers and the bow dots have an embellishment from Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Berries. Again, I am far from a great fussy cutter but I give it a go and hope that practice makes close to perfect. I mean - there is no such thing as "perfect" right?!!
Stampin' Write markers were used for the presents to color the stamped image. I love using them and find them so easy with the brush nib. For the tad darker "shadowed" areas I just go over those areas a 2nd or 3rd time with the same color and occasionally if there is a close match on the darker side I will use that for shadowing and shading.
The 2 stockings are Joyful Images Ephemera Pack (Last Chance-Not available). I love this collection and wish I had bought a couple more packs as the designs are awesome.
I don't even think I need to say almost every stamped and/or die cut image has been kissed with Stella. Yes, including the stockings! Come on - you know me!!!
Are you working on any Christmas scrapbooking pages? Would love to see them on my FB page, Stampin' & Scrappin' with Tina. There is also a link on the right side of this post to follow.
Posting what I used with links but am not posting anything retired as I have mentioned those in the main post above. I try to use current items but there are a few fav that are retired. I think I covered all I did 🤞
Happy crafting,
Tina

Love these pages! I love that you added the address to yourold house. Embossing the acetate for the snow globe - brilliant! I love the effect.
Thank you so much. So many memories and this is why I love scrapbooking / memory keeping. The snow globe needed a little something so I thought - ACETATE and emboss for falling snow effect :)
