No. 15, you guys! I’m still processing the fact that this is the 15th year I’ve designed a collection for this series. And I know I probably say it every year, but this might be my favorite one yet.
There’s quite a bit to unpack this year. The collection has grown to include something for the hybrid crafter, the digital scrapbooker, and now, for the first time, the analog crafter who just wants to print, cut, and get to creating.
Here’s a closer look at what’s included.
The Album Kit | For the Hybrid Crafter
Available in 6×8 and A5.
The OG Album Kit is designed for the hybrid crafter who likes to plan out pages in Photoshop, customize templates, and print just what they need.
This year’s kit includes:
- 15 layered templates to use as designed or customize to create your own pages
- 20 ready-to-print Foundation Pages in JPG and PDF formats
- 40 holiday-themed digital embellishments in individual PNG files
The embellishments are thoughtfully placed within the layered templates, but they’re also provided individually so you can easily access and use them in your own designs.
The Foundation Pages and layered templates are exclusive to the Album Kit.
The Printables Collection | For the Analog Crafter
New this year! I’ve added an entire line of printables for those who prefer a more hands-on approach to documenting. Everything is provided as ready-to-print PDFs, so you can print at home, cut, and start creating. No Photoshop required, and no special cutting machine needed for most of the sets.
The Printables Bundle brings together:
- Holiday Pattern Papers in your choice of 10×8, 6×8, or A5
- Printable Pocket Cards provided as individual JPGs and ready-to-print PDFs
- Holiday Printable Stamp Strips arranged into five easy-to-cut strips
- Printable Elements arranged in easy-to-cut strips, with additional PNG cut files for those who use cutting machines
- December Days Stamp Strips featuring numbers 1–31, arranged in easy-to-cut strips
I wanted to make this line as accessible as possible. Print on sticker paper, vellum, or cardstock, use scissors to cut your pieces, and bring them into your album however you like. The idea is to spend less time figuring out the technical side of things and more time actually creating.
You can also shop each printable set individually.
PRINTABLE STAMP STRIPS – HOLIDAY
PRINTABLE HOLIDAY PATTERNS PAPER PACK (choose your size: 10×8, 6×8 or A5)
For the Digital Crafter
For those who prefer to work entirely digitally, the coordinating collection includes a classic 12×12 Digital Kit, Holiday Digital Stamps, and Pocket Cards.
Everything you need to bring your December stories together digitally, whether you’re creating full scrapbook pages or working with a pocket-style format.
A Little About My Own December Album
As for my own album this year, I’m trying something new: A5!
I’ve been really drawn to the A5 format lately, and I’m going with an A5 ring binder. It has that notebook-style feel I’ve been wanting, with the added flexibility of being able to work on individual pages, move things around, and change things up as I go.
I’m excited to see how this approach works for my December stories this year. If you missed it, I shared a closer look at my album setup on Instagram HERE. Everything you see there is included in this year’s Album Kit!
And that’s No. 15! It’s a little surreal to be celebrating 15 years of this collection. I hope there’s something here that inspires you to get those December stories documented, in whatever format feels right for you.
Let the holiday documenting season begin!
