Still time to link up your creations in the side bar.
We wish you all a very Happy Christmas and hope you find some quiet time to spend in your craft room with the wonderful new goodies you find under your tree!
Happy December Everyone!
This month we have an awesome sketch by Laura Rumble to inspire you to scrapbook those festive photos:
And here is what our single page team created with our sketch:
Brandi doesn't usually use a lot of florals on her layouts, so she replaced the background with ornaments and pine branches. Her layout compares her late grandparent's Christmas tree from 1999 to her current tree using the same ornaments. We love this story!
Jane chose a vintage photo for her beautiful monochromatic layout. She added some fussy cut flowers from the Gingham Farm collection by My Mind's Eye and some die-cut leaves.
Laura adapted the sketch to A4 format and used the Wildflower collection from Pretty Little Studio for her layout. She added some copper glitter paper to the layered patterned paper border - it's the perfect accent, so eye-catching!
We hope you find our layouts inspiring - be sure to join in with our sketch challenge! You have until the end of the month to play along with any - or all! - of our challenges... just create a layout based on one of our sketches and link your entry in our sidebar. If you share on social media, please use the hashtag #StickItDown. We’ll choose one winner from the entries and they will be invited to guest design for us in February!
Happy scrapping and hope you all have a Holly Jolly Festive Season!!

Double page team!
Hi everyone, I'm Bethany! I'm stay at home mama who somehow squeezes scrapbooking into nap times. My husband, sweet puppy and I live in Minnesota! The long Minnesota winters first introduced me to this wonderful hobby and now I can't seem to get enough of it. I love how this hobbies brings so many amazing women together! I look forward to being a part of this amazing team!
Maureen *also on the card team
Hello,
I am a mother of 2 & wife to Stan. After scrapbooking and stamping
for over 10 years, I became a Close to My Heart (CTMH) Independent
Consultant. When I'm not spending time with my family or working, I am
thinking all things paper, inks and stamping! I hold 2 classes at my
home each month. Please join us!
Single page team!
Hi, I’m Brandi! I am a full-time mama, part-time paper crafter! I live
in Maryland with my husband and our two boys, ages 3.5 and almost 2!
I am currently loving scrapping single page 12x12 layouts with the
occasional double page spread. I’ve been scrapbooking since I was in
late Elementary school when my Aunt got me started with 8.5x11 albums to
hold my Girl Scouts memories and photos. I quickly moved to 12x12 and
have too many albums to count! My husband jokes he’s a little concerned
about what it’s gonna look like years from now, especially having so
many photos of the boys to scrap!
I love using sketches or other design prompts to get started. My
favorite part of the process is definitely picking colors and mixing and
matching papers and embellishments to create the perfect combo! Happy
scrapping!
My name is Jane - I love all things paper! My favorite part of the scrapbooking process, besides the photos, are the papers and embellishments! I have been married for 41 years and my husband and I have 2 children who are adults. We live in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon, with our cat. I spend lots of time in the summer working in our garden and I also love to sew.
My name is Megan and I am 48 years of age. I live in Ballarat Victoria Australia. I have been crafting since 2015 when I had a large ischemic stroke. I was down and out for quite some time. I had to learn to walk, talk, eat, and, everything about life again. I also learned I could not do as much as I wanted anymore so I had to find a hobby. A good friend took me in and showed me how to create with paper craft and I learned to make some Christmas cards one year. I really enjoyed the process ever since I've not stopped learning. I have met some amazing friends in the paper craft community from being a Kaszazz consultant and now to a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator the process of learning, sense of achievement and being inspired continues.
Card team
I am a Michigan girl who has a crafty obsession. Thanks to my parents, I was encouraged to be creative at a very young age. I don't really have a style anymore since I love trying new things but one this stays the same with me is that I love layers. When you can't find me in my studio I am most likely to be found in the kitchen cooking.

Hello, Crafty Friends!
It's single page week here at Stick It Down - let's see what our single page girls created this month with our sketch:
Laura, our featured designer of the month, created this awesome layout using the Wildflower collection from Pretty Little Studio. She created five tone-on-tone mixed media clusters, adding paper layers, enamel dots, paint splatters and some stitching to each cluster:
Jane scrapbooked an old photo of her son this month - she used a themed collection from Echo Park and paired it with Ali Edwards stamps:
Rather than using banner clusters, Brandi created a layered pumpkin shape as the focal element on her layout. She completed the layout by using embellishment pieces from the Spectrum Sherbet collection from 49 & Market to coordinate with her photo and with the diecut:
Sherry used the Hey Crafty Girl collection from Simple Stories to create this fun layout about her craft room. She created the layered clusters using punched shapes and phrase stickers that best describe her as a crafter:
Happy scrapping and Happy Gratitude Month!
