I cannot believe that it is already the last Thursday before Christmas! I have no idea where this month went!
Are you all ready for Christmas yet? I am not! All of my presents were shipped to New York, so when I get in tomorrow evening, I'll have to wrap everything (and look through it to see just what I bought for everyone!)
But, despite all the hustle and bustle of the season, I did manage to fit in some Christmas scrapping.
For this layout, I used a mambitKIT (this one). I don't normally scrap from a kit, but it definitely makes scrapping at this time of year much easier.
I decided to feature some of my favorite shots from this month - the tree at Daley Plaza, the Christkindlemarket, clementines (called "cuties" here in Chicago - I just love that!) and the white Christmas lights near my apartment.
I really like these kind of "wrap up" layouts for a season like this. This page will be used as an opener to start out the Christmas pages in my album. Then, I will add my pages about Daley Plaza/Christkindlemarket, Zoo Lights and our neighborhood's decorations after this.
Do you ever create month-in-review or wrap ups for your scrapbook?
Have a wonderful holiday season!!!
Great layout, Katie!
ReplyDeleteI love to do intro or wrap up pages for my albums.
Sometimes yearly or monthly.
And I also like to do them for travel albums as well.
Great idea to do it for your Christmas pages!
Thank you! I love wrap up pages too. I should start them for my travel albums (you know, the next time I travel!)

I always behind too Anna, I just scrap whatever I feel motivated to scrap, which is usually what just happened!
DeleteThat is a great layout! Kits can make life a lot easier when you're already busy! Have a wonderful time in NY! It will be fun looking through everything you bought for everyone then wrapping it. I'm done with that part but we are hosting so I have cleaning, cooking, food shopping a little more baking to do!
ReplyDeleteI love those glittery letters that spell out Chicago. What did you use to make them? Or did you buy them? :-)
