It's All About the Cookies - Two Page Christmas Scrapbook Layout

 Oh I miss the cookie making! We didn't have time to get together for this tradition this year. It makes me sad, but I'm also trying to be realistic with everybody's schedules. I miss it! Hopefully we can make a few in the New Year before the extended family gathering. We'll see. 


I like the non-traditional aqua paper for this layout. It "makes it" for me. I used the cut and draw feature for the "cookie" title. It gives it a vintage, homespun vibe.
Sometimes family pictures break my heart for the way things were, but at the same time, these are such fond memories for me, I can't "not" post them.  
I was able to get 8 pictures on this layout and still add some patterned paper and journaling. I call that a win. Hope this inspires you in some way!

I'm still not ready for Christmas, but here I am blogging about cookies from 3 years ago. Thanks for stopping by! :)

With Sugar on Top - Two Page Christmas Baking Scrapbook Layout

 Christmas is just a few days away....so it's time to share another layout! 

This was our annual cookie baking time with the family in 2019. Lots of chaos and fun, along with some yummy cookies for everybody to take home. These cut outs just melt in your mouth. It's the same recipe my Mom used through the years, and it is straight out of the old red Betty Crocker cookbook.
I love seeing the joy on their faces!! I hope we can continue this tradition. 

Once I figured out the best layout for the pics, it was a super simple layout using strips of scrap paper across the bottom. I used a border punch along the bottom red strip and journaled on it. I found the adorable title and gingerbread cookies in Design Space. Super simple...Hope you enjoy!
