The Christmas and holiday season will soon be upon us.  What a great time to grab the camera, snap some family photos and scrapbook the event in digital! We have a large collection of Christmas and holiday digital scrapbooking kits, stamps and elements.  We also have Getting Started Guides to help you if you are just beginning in Digital Scrapbooking.  Here are just a few of the Christmas and holiday goodies that we have here:

Saturday Scraplift no. 127

Isn’t this layout by Nath absolutely gorgeous:

Such an amazing example of clustered elements and brushwork - and one which doesn’t look cluttered thanks to the great design. The clear white space in the middle of the layout provides a place for the eye to rest and allows the photo and the titlework to shine. And, of course, having them at opposite corners like that makes for a wonderfully balanced page. Love that neutral color scheme too, which also makes for a restful page.

Three very different pages were inspired by this one layout - which is the joy of scraplifting. Can’t wait to see the different pages that appear in the Saturday Scraplift gallery as well!

Here are Kayleigh, Tara and Wendy’s lifts:

If you’re like I am, it’s easy to take a hundred pictures during a weekend. Then I want to scrap all the good ones. This week’s template by Katie is the perfect answer to that scrapping dilemma. It has a great mask for your focal photo and room for four additional pictures. Five shots on a page will go a long way toward getting those pictures off the hard drive and into your album.

Counting Layered Template No. 2

Jess (jesshunt) used the template with photos of the cutest little feline trick-or-treaters on Halloween. That focal photo just pops right off the warm brown background.

Mine is a summery page, using pictures from a trip my son and his family took to upstate New York. I love that this template has room for those little detail shots that help tell a story.
