Sam has always loved a good polka dot paper, and the one in this kit reminded them of tiny points of colored lights, making it the perfect base for their layout. Inspired by the charming little houses on the included sticker sheet, which resembled stands from the Christmas markets. Sam decided to use the polka dot paper and those stickers to create a layout about the Vienna Christmas markets. Keeping the paper use minimal, Sam leaned into the embellishments from the sticker sheet and the upgraded embellishment kit to beautifully tell the story of the photo.

Sam loved how the creams, browns, and golds in December's kit offered a fresh take on Christmas colors, making her Christmas light selfies stand out beautifully. To keep her nighttime photos looking bright, she selected papers from the kit with lighter and brighter tones. Every embellishment on her layout, from accents to details, came straight from the kit’s papers or the included sticker sheet, tying everything together seamlessly.

This summer, Sam and her husband celebrated their 20th anniversary and decided to wait until November for a special trip to Europe’s magical Christmas markets. One highlight was a tree filled with glowing heart lights, the perfect spot for a photo destined for her anniversary scrapbook. Upon returning home, Sam was thrilled to find December’s kit waiting and immediately knew the black-and-red floral paper would make her heart tree photos shine. She built her layout around that striking paper, adding word stickers and alphabet stickers from the upgraded embellishment kit to perfectly complement the romantic theme.

Marci started her first layout with the December Collection Kit by layering cut-apart tags and threading ribbon through the tag holes for a touch of texture. She added dimension with popped-up hearts and a cozy home from the add-on package. Once complete, Marci enhanced the layout with popped word and sentence strips from the sticker and add-on word sheets, artfully placing them around the photos. For the title, she used alphas from the add-ons, paired with mini words below, and finished it off by popping up a house sticker and adding a heart to the end of the title word for a sweet, cohesive touch.

Melissa used the plain grid paper to balance the busy photo, covering a bird design with candy canes from the kit and adding a "Holly & Jolly" tag with twine. She matted the photo three times—tan cardstock, diagonal plaid, and green polka dot—wrapped it with twine, and popped it up with foam tape. The "double" popped-up title and festive embellishments like candy canes, hearts, and holly completed her cohesive, festive layout.

Melissa used the house paper as the background, layering cut-apart squares at the bottom and adding polka dot strips for contrast. She tucked the photos under the polka dot paper and created a title using "SILLY" chalkboard stickers and a "CHRISTMAS" banner popped up on twine. Tiny staples secured the banner ends, and she finished with stickers from the kit for a playful, festive look.
