Baking Spirits Bright - Two Page Christmas Scrapbook Layout

 How is it December already? I ask this every year, but I never feel ready to really celebrate the blessings of the Christmas season. How about you? I work full time and don't always feel like getting into a project once I get home from work. I'll blame it on that....but my paycheck helps support our household. We all need to pay the bills, right? I'm super grateful for a job that I love, pays me well, and fills a passion for serving others.

To get me in the spirit, I have a ton of Christmas layouts to share from the last few years. These cookie baking pictures were from 2018. It's been one of our family traditions to make cookies together. It's always a little stressful keeping up with them, manning the oven, and keeping them up to their elbows in frosting and sprinkles, but it has to be one of my favorite Christmas traditions. I hope we will find a way to always make time for this.

I cut the title with my Cricut as well as the wooden baking utensils. Do you love this glitter ric-rac decorative tape? It's fun to pull this out of my stash and use it on my Christmas pages. Look at my granddaughter's expression as I rolled out the chocolate brownie dough!! Priceless!!

The red mixer matches the one in my kitchen. Not that anybody else would know that, but I loved adding it to this page as a reminder. I matted all the photos in white so they would pop off the neutral background. Using wallet size photos, I was able to get 12 pictures on this page and still have room for some design. The only thing missing is the date. Ugh! I do that so often.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today. May your Christmas traditions be filled with beautiful family times making memories together.
