I love how all the gold accents echo the glow from the candles here. It feels very cozy and warm.

What do you do the day before your wedding? If you're me, you go parasailing with one of your Bridal Secret Service (since I didn't have a bridal party), officiant, and mom

I love how the snowflakes in the kit look so much like the ones we made. It was unintentional but so fun!

I love this calmer color scheme with the white lights version of our tree. (I still love that we can switch the lights between colorful and white.)

I challenged myself to use all 4 of Studio Liv's Christmas kits today (after sharing a layout that used 3 of the 4 yesterday).

This seems to be the season of using a bunch of kits on every page. There's just so many great kits that it's hard to choose.

I don't know if I scrapped these photos when I first took them but I couldn't resist playing with them now. My 2014 editing matches the colors of the kit I chose perfectly.

Since Olivia was bringing back the template I used, I thought I'd revive this old layout. I've greatly improved my shadowing since I made it and I can never pass up a chance to post a page with Lunar Rainbow.

It took a bit of kit mixing & matching to get something I loved but I did it! (There just aren't any rainbow Hanukkah kits out there.)

These photos are from our first Christmas together, 15 years ago. Time flies when you're not looking...

I'm still in love with Olivia's doodles and this kit is no exception. I picked this template just so I could use a bunch of the papers and I chose my favorite elements to sprinkle in.

Cheryl is rereleasing these templates and I'm so excited to get to play with them this time around. Let's pretend this is the page I actually made in January ;)

There's some very sweet photos of us decorating the tree together in my December album but the kiddo's album deserves all the chaos and fun!

You say "sparkle" and I think "stars." Also "glitter" and then "Sparkling Summer" and then "bokeh" and on and on...

I try to check in with myself every night: "what did we do today that brings me joy?" Tonight, when I realized I didn't have anything holiday-specific, I ran to hang the stockings and take a photo.

I used the same kits as I did for pajama delivery day to scrap the mini photo shoot for the grandparents' gifts.

Sometimes the most meaningful moments aren't holiday-themed but they're going in my December album anyway!

I love this kit and I am so excited that Studio Liv brought it back.

I made this layout last year to celebrate that his pajamas fit for two years; this year, he's gone through two sizes of pjs in under 6 months. At least this year's Hanukkah print is cute... I applied a foil style to the alpha for extra sparkle

I am obsessed with Lunar Rainbow and will always reach for it when it's time to make a page.

It's a good thing I buy gaming-themed kits as I can because 2025 is shaping up to be the year of Mario here. (2024 was Kirby and I love all the pages of us playing together.)

We're more than a little obsessed with Little Sleepies and today was a very happy mail day. I leaned into the gifting print and brought in some sweet touches, including that adorable cookie number.

I threw the whole hard drive as this spread. (Right side can be found here - https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=776179)

My husband COULD NOT WAIT to put up the tree this year and I consider myself lucky I even got a photo at all.

This was one of those ridiculous pages that I had so much fun making. Might as well start off my December album with some silliness, right?

Upon seeing this kit in the CT forum, my first thought was "this is the perfect kit for my husband!" My second thought was "I have just the photos for that..."

2020 was a weird year and using a Nugget as a Christmas tree was probably one of the most normal things we did.

I tried to be sparing with the color for maximum effect and to make it feel like the game.

I saw this adorable snow globe template and wanted to make something with it. Thank goodness I had a photo of a Christmas pig on my external hard drive

I made this when Olivia first designed Very Merry and still love it so much that I had to share. This was an exercise in throwing styles around like confetti. I used a vellum freebie & an epoxy style from Mommyish, as well as Miss Tiina's neon lights style.
