Hey everyone, this is Niki (@nikiclairecreates) here with you today with two layouts using the super-fun Simple Vintage Holly Jolly collection! I have really enjoyed using this collection and the icons are really cute! I love the colours too and all the amazing embellishment clusters that are already put together for you.
For my first layout I had two photos of our school fayre – one with me and my friend doing set up, and one of my son and his friends doing their School Enterprise project – this is where groups of children are given a small budget, which they have to use to buy materials to make things, which they then sell at the Fayre to make a profit which then gets donated to the school. It’s a fun project! These photos of us ‘working’ were perfect to use with the Santa’s Workshop paper and fun Timecards!
I trimmed the paper down and mounted it onto the beautiful dark green check print. I then used the Journal Elements paper and cut up all the cards which I layered eclectically onto the background with my two photos. I love how this looks; it really reminds me of a busy office or workshop!
I added a few embellishments in two clusters…I tried not to add too many because my layout was already very busy! I used Bits & Pieces, Sentiment Bits, Cardstock Stickers and Decorative Brads. I added an ephemera bunting banner across the top of my big photo. I also added a couple of ornaments at the top of the layout near the title, which helped to balance out the very large cluster at the bottom.
I finished off by handwriting some journaling on the right side and adding a few splatters of black paint. I really love how this one turned out; I think the feel of it goes so very well with my photos!

For my second layout I cut a heart shape out of that beautiful red check paper, distressed the edges and stuck this to a white cardstock background. I used some of the Rub-Ons to add details under where my photo was going to sit: a painted square and some of those beautiful holly leaves.
I mounted my photo and then layered that onto the layout together with a number of embellishments: the large Santa, big ‘&’ sign and the most adorable little snowman I’ve ever seen! I also added some more holly leaves and also added some Chipboard Stickers, I love the rosettes.
For my title I used one of the Sentiment Bits ‘Holly Jolly’ which I added to the top right section of my heart. I added a few small embellishments near to the title.
I added Decorative Brads to the layout and some phrase stickers from the Cardstock Stickers. I finished off the layout with splatters of black paint.
I really love the finished layout, it’s so fun with that big red heart and all the Christmas icons! I've really loved using Simple Vintage Holly Jolly, my layouts came together really easily and quickly and I had so much fun making them!
Happy scrapping
Niki xx
