🎄✨ Christmas in July – Week 3: A Clean & Simple Scrapbooking Layout with a Watercolour Twist! ✨🎄
You didn’t think we’d get through Christmas in July without sneaking in a little scrapbooking fun, did you? 😉
This week’s project is a clean and simple scrapbook layout—but don’t let the minimal feel fool you. I had so much fun bringing this one to life with a bold title, festive accents, and a fun watercolour ornament technique that brings an artsy touch to the page!
Take a peek:

🎨 I used Fluid 100 watercolor paper and blended Real Red and Garden Green ink refills to create the ornaments from the Bauble Blooms bundle. Each one is a little different—just like the ornaments on our trees! I also tucked in some gold accents and ephemera for texture and sparkle.
And how great is that Party Alphabet for a bold “JOLLY” title? I cut mine using patterned paper for extra interest, but you could totally stamp, blend, or emboss your own letters. This is one of those layouts you can easily switch up for ANY theme—just change the colors and title!

and within TWO hours, I had messages from TWO crafty friends who had already created their own versions using the video! 🥹 That right there is the magic of what we do—and honestly, it filled my heart with so much JOY (pun intended 💚).

📸 Psst… this is also a great layout to turn into a double-page spread or change up for other holidays or seasons—just swap out your paper and ephemera. It’s a festive foundation you’ll come back to again and again!
