Scrapbooking Christmas Holiday Pictures
Are you looking for Christmas scrapbook ideas? First you need to get your pictures!
There are so many people that have pictures “stuck” on their computer, their camera, their phone ... it's time to download these pictures (and back them up!). Pictures are for sharing, so let's get them in a place where they are more easily enjoyed. Yes, I am talking about a scrapbook!
Here are just a few of the reasons why you’ll want to scrapbook your photos:
- You have the opportunity to weed out the photos you don’t really want or need.
- You are putting your photos in a place where everyone can enjoy them time and time again.
- You can add journaling — names, places, dates, memories — that might otherwise be lost or forgotten.
- You are also creating a space to add special memorabilia to go along with the photos.
The holiday season is one of the most popular times for taking pictures, a time when families gather together, share special traditions, take part in special events, sit on Santa’s lap ... the photo opportunities are endless! But you don’t have to wait until the pictures have been taken to start scrapbooking them.
Here are some Christmas scrapbook ideas:
- Fill an envelope with scraps of paper that you can use to write down memories, details, and descriptions as you take your pictures. These can then be added right to your Christmas scrapbook layouts when you add your photos.
- Create your page layouts ahead of time. Then all you need to do is print off your pictures and add them to the pages to have a completed holiday scrapbook.
- Keep your layouts simple so that you can add as many or as few pictures to a page as you’d like.
- Consider creating a mini scrapbook or two for documenting special holiday traditions. A popular one is a mini recipe book that includes family holiday recipes and family pictures to go along with them. Snap a picture of the chef cooking Christmas dinner, the kids baking cookies, or the family gathered around the table to conjure up memories of holidays past and present.
- Use holiday gift tags as cute embellishments or for journaling to add a festive feel to your Christmas scrapbook pages. Or use the Tags til Christmas stamp set (#120847) to create your own tags!

With a little preparation you will be able to sit back and enjoy what is happening in front of the camera, too.
Happy Holidays!
