The Secret to Scrapbooking during the Holidays

Bells on bobtails are ringing. Chestnuts are roasting on open fires. And Jack Frost is nipping at our noses. Plus, who can forget about the parties for hosting, the marshmallows for toasting and the caroling out in the snow? Whew—life is getting busy this month. Amid the hustle and bustle, we’re bound to get a little maxed out unless we have creative time to help us unwind. But some days it’s hard to find much time for thinking about the next scrapbook page when the holiday to-do list is growing by the minute.

Thankfully, the CK elves have just the item for Santa’s big, red bag. (And I hear Mr. Claus will be making a visit before the 25th this year! See below.) The secret is 52 More Scrapbooking Challenges by Elizabeth Kartchner, CK’s 2007 Scrapbooker of the Year. As the sequel to 52 Scrapbooking Challenges, this book is jam-packed with ideas to inspire your creativity.

For example, challenge #3 is to “lift a design idea from a home-decor item,” as Elizabeth did in turning this Amelia rug from Pottery Barn Kids into inspiration for an incredible page element. I love how Elizabeth used the rug design as just a portion of her layout instead of the entire background.

"Wishes & Kisses" by Elizabeth Kartchner, as seen in "52 More Scrapbooking Challenges" (page 15)

And challenge #15 to “stick to a single color” is a perfect jump-start for creating my own holiday layout like Elizabeth’s. In fact, I might just scraplift Elizabeth’s design. It’s fabulous.

"Traditions" by Elizabeth Kartchner, as seen in "52 More Scrapbooking Challenges" (page 50)

Yes, this book is sure to be the spark for creative scrapbooking during a busy season. I’m glad I have my copy in hand! (If you still need your copy, you can order it here, where you’ll also find a link to more layouts from the book.) You can also make an e-visit to Santa and let him know the book is on your wish list. I heard that anyone who leaves Santa a comment on this post by Sunday, December 6, and lets him know what’s on her Christmas list this year will be entered to win one of three autographed copies of the book. Speaking of giveaways, remember to check here to see if you’ve one any of our past giveaways.

For more chances to win a copy of Elizabeth’s book, you can also check out the blogs from these Dream Team members and CK contributing writers:

* Wendy Sue Anderson

* Jen Jockisch

* Elizabeth Kartchner

And if you know Sara Winnick, she’ll be giving away a copy on Facebook.

I’m off to make my list now!

P.S. When you make a layout based on an item in Elizabeth’s book, we’d love to see what you create! To submit your work, read the “CK & Me” information here.

I want just to be with my family for Christmas. I have lost my mother and sister in the past 15 months, and my 47-year old husband had a stroke a month ago. I just want to love and appreciate what I have.

Comment by Cindy McAllister — 12/03/2009 #
Dear Santa,

I have been extra good this year. For real. You know all about it, I’m sure! So, being that I have been so good, I think it would be quite fitting for you to kindly deliver in your wonderful little sleigh covered in those fabulous little silver jingle bells, a copy of Elizabeth’s book, signed, of course, along with a few other fun scrappy goodies! With both inspiration and supplies, I assure you, a very nice handmade thank you card will come your way…just leave your addy. Thanks, Santa! I really appreciate it!

Jingle.

Comment by Jingle — 12/03/2009 #

I would love to win this book!!

Comment by Sara — 12/03/2009 #
Well, I got the biggest present I could ever received on 10/13 when my daughter was born! But, now I would like Santa to bring peace, lack of worries, slightly more financial freedom to my family, less stress, more love and strength to continue on striving for happyness. I haven’t been in much of a Christmas mood because it seems we’re taking 2 steps forward and then 5 back the last 2 years (actually since we’ve gotten married). I keep telling myself that what doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger. Thanks for the chance to win this book.

Comment by Mrs Swiz — 12/03/2009 #

I asked Santa for a new iMac, but I think I’m just getting a dental crown instead

Comment by Melanie C — 12/03/2009 #
I love challenges and have entered a lot of card challenges. It would be fun to win this one, with scrapbook challenges. I think Santa may be skipping our house this year — financial difficulties. Anyway, thanks for a chance to win.
and I was kidding about Santa totally skipping our house, just might be a more slim year than others for the kids.

Santa, I would like to apologize for impersonating you in the skating show I did last weekend…I could never EVER be you…your red furry ensemble is a bit hot and itchy and really tough to skate in. But I’d really like a copy of ‘52 More Challenges’ so I can create just the right layout for the pictures of me in the Santa Suit!!!

Don’t really have a list this year, trying to focus on the kids. Did tell my mom I could use new potholders & was hoping for an extra rechargable battery for my camera- so I don’t miss out on the pics when the battery needs charging. Otherwise I would just love the have some time for scrapbooking. The book looks like a good one. Thanks & have a blessed Christmas!

Dear Santa – I’ve been really good (well, except for my Road Rage issues and maybe I’ve been eating too much chocolate of late and buying a few extra Scrapbooking goodies that I (this is hard to say) don’t need … whew …). Here is my Wish List : -

1. Peace on Earth (I’m trying …)
2. No more hungry children (I’m working on this in my area, anyway …)
3. Lizzy’s 52 More Scrapbooking Challenges
4. A bed that makes itself every morning
5. MM new Pink Slice Machine
6. Some Mists

ummm … let’s leave it there shall we??? I could of course go on forever …

Thanks for an awesome Mag

Love, Tracy G

Comment by Christine Hertel — 12/04/2009 #
Probably never had a longer list than this year, but that’s only due to the fact that I haven’t been able to get many things I’m in need of: new boots/ winter coat/ many kitchen utensils, counter appliances/ … but aside from these neccessary items, some new scrap-indulgences would be the start on top of my tree!!!

Dear Santa,

I have been a very good girl this year…well, most of the time. I so, so, so want a copy of Liz K.’s new book. I just know it would help my get those creative juices flowing again. So Santa, if you can find an extra copy in your big bag, please drop one down my chimney (well, you’ll actually have to leave it on the front porch as we don’t even have a chimney! Oops.)

Love, A (Mostly) Good Girl

Comment by Nicole — 12/04/2009 #
The most important thing I would love for Christmas this year – is my grand-daughter Shelby returned to her mother . . . her father came to our home the day after Christmas last year and disappeared with her. It took 5 months to find out where she was . . . she is now in Michigan with her dad who is lying and faking who he is (how do some people get away with this) to try and get custody of her. He has told us that we cannot see her because we reported him to the police – !!! Anyway, we would most love to have Shelby returned to her mother and family who love and miss her!

Comment by Judi V — 12/04/2009 #

Before this week, my top thing on my Christmas list was a KitchenAid mixer. But since my grandma passed away this last Monday, my new Christmas wish is that we can get through the holiday with our joy intact, knowing that she is in Heaven.

I would like a little plug for Independant Scrapbook Stores, If you have a LSS in your area Visit Us , we are always happy to order special items for you, as LSS I try to keep items that you won’t find in the Big Box stores, you will always find unique and different items at a LSS , we are all different so usually never the same. Merry Christmas and Happy Scrapin!

My wish list definitely includes a copy of 52 More Scrapbooking Challenges as well as 52 Scrapbooking Challenges. These books sound like the kick start my creativity needs.
