4 Double-Page Elegant Pine Snowflakes Scrapbooking Layouts | Winter Stampin’ Up! Workshop

Winter scrapbooking just became effortlessly elegant. ❄️🌲✨

For this week’s I Made This Myself Monday, I designed four double-page 12" x 12" scrapbook spreads using the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper, the Delicate Pines Bundle, and Faceted Snowflakes embellishments.


The Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP features:

  • Rich winter greens

  • Moody blues

  • Pine, holly, and eucalyptus patterns

  • Double-sided, acid-free, lignin-free quality

These designs create timeless winter layouts that work beautifully for Christmas memories, snowy landscapes, family gatherings, and cozy seasonal traditions.

The Delicate Pines Bundle adds layered pine snowflakes, greenery sprigs, and holly berry accents . . . and because it’s a bundle, you save 10% while getting perfectly coordinated stamps and dies.

To finish the layouts, I added adhesive-backed Faceted Snowflakes in Cherry Cobbler, Pretty Peacock, and clear for just the right sparkle.

Each double-page spread balances:
❄️ Patterned paper layering
🌿 Dimensional greenery
✨ Texture and shine
📸 Plenty of photo space

This workshop proves that winter layouts don’t have to be busy to be stunning . . . sometimes elegant simplicity with layered detail makes the biggest impact.

Layout 1 is giving classic Christmas elegance with a bold twist. ❄️🌲✨

For this first double-page spread in my Elegant Pine Snowflakes Scrapbooking Workshop, I layered:

💚 Rich Garden Green + Pretty Peacock tones
❤️ Deep Cherry Cobbler accents
❄️ A bold pine snowflake focal point using the Delicate Pines Bundle
✨ Sparkling Faceted Snowflakes for that perfect winter shimmer

I LOVE how the horizontal band across the center grounds the layout while still leaving plenty of space for your 3x4 photos. 📸 The mix of patterned Designer Series Paper and solid cardstock creates depth without overwhelming your pictures.

This layout would be perfect for:
🎄 Christmas morning
❄️ Snow day fun
🌲 Tree decorating
❤️ Holiday family traditions

And can we talk about that layered pine snowflake?? It adds such beautiful dimension while keeping everything cohesive and elegant.






Layout 2 is all about TRADITIONS. 🎄❤️✨

For the second double-page spread in my Elegant Pine Snowflakes Scrapbooking Workshop, I leaned into classic Christmas storytelling with bold title work, layered textures, and a little extra sparkle.

This layout features:

🌲 Elegant Pine Snowflakes 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
❄️ Delicate Pines Bundle for that gorgeous layered pine snowflake
✨ Faceted Snowflakes + red glitter accents for festive dimension
🎄 A bold “TRADITIONS” title to anchor your holiday memories

I absolutely LOVE how the horizontal bands of patterned paper and red shimmer trim ground the layout and guide your eye across both pages. It creates the perfect visual flow for documenting family traditions . . . whether that’s baking cookies 🍪, decorating the tree 🌟, matching pajamas 🎅, or Christmas Eve chaos. 😅

And can we talk about that JOY cluster on the second page?? The layered pine snowflake with the red glitter letters makes such a beautiful focal point while still leaving plenty of room for your photos. 📸

This double-page spread is perfect for:

❤️ Annual traditions
🎁 Gift opening
🍪 Baking day
🌟 Tree decorating
🎄 Holiday gatherings






Layout 3 = full Winter Wonderland magic. ❄️🌲✨

For the third double-page spread in my Elegant Pine Snowflakes Scrapbooking Workshop, I created a bold statement layout featuring a large title and tons of photo space . . . perfect for documenting snowy adventures, sledding days, or winter vacations.

This layout features:

❄️ “Winter Wonderland” statement title
🌲 Elegant Pine Snowflakes 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
🌿 Pinecone + evergreen die cuts from the Delicate Pines Bundle
✨ Sparkling red Faceted Snowflakes for that subtle pop
📸 Space for multiple 3x4 photos across the spread

I LOVE the staggered strip detail running across the center of the layout . . . it adds movement and texture without overwhelming your pictures. The mix of soft winter blues, greens, and pine details keeps everything feeling fresh and seasonal without going full Christmas. 🎄

And can we talk about those pinecones?? 😍 They add such a natural, cozy woodland vibe that makes this layout perfect for:

☃️ Snow days
🏔 Winter vacations
🌲 Outdoor adventures
🔥 Cabin weekends
❄️ First snowfall moments

This one is a memory-maker for sure.





Layout 4 is giving ALL the cozy winter vibes. ❄️🤍🌲

For the fourth and final double-page spread in my Elegant Pine Snowflakes Scrapbooking Workshop, I softened things up with layered tags, ribbon accents, and a “Winter Fun” focal cluster that feels playful but still elegant.

This layout features:

❄️ Elegant Pine Snowflakes 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
🌲 Layered greenery + snowflake die cuts from the Delicate Pines Bundle
🎀 Adorable white ribbon bows for texture and dimension
✨ Faceted Snowflakes embellishments for subtle sparkle
📸 Plenty of room for 4x4 and 3x4 winter photos

I LOVE how the layered tags on the right-hand page add depth without taking away from your photos. That little cluster feels like a wrapped winter gift 🎁 . . . perfect for documenting snow days, sledding adventures, or chilly backyard fun.

And the “Winter Fun” title panel? The layered snowflake over vellum with those sparkly gems gives just the right amount of frosty magic. ❄️✨

This layout is perfect for:

☃️ Snowball fights
🛷 Sledding
🌨 First snowfall
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family winter memories
☕ Cozy afternoons

If you’ve been holding onto winter photos waiting for the “perfect” layout idea, this is your sign to pull them out and start creating. Scrapbooking isn’t just about paper and embellishments . . . it’s about preserving the quiet magic of snow-covered mornings, twinkling Christmas lights, and those moments when everyone gathers a little closer during the colder months.

The Elegant Pine Snowflakes collection gives you that timeless, sophisticated winter feel while still allowing your photos to shine. I hope these four double-page spreads inspire you to document your memories boldly, beautifully, and with intention. Your stories deserve to be preserved . . . and what better way than with layered pine, sparkling snowflakes, and handcrafted love.

There is something extra special about documenting love stories. 💕

For this week’s I Made This Myself Monday, I created three stunning double-page 12x12 scrapbook layouts plus a bonus single-page layout using the Love Story Scrapbooking Workshop Kit from Stampin’ Up!

This predesigned workshop kit makes scrapbooking both beautiful and approachable. Whether you are a seasoned scrapbooker or brand new to memory keeping, these coordinated supplies take the guesswork out of layout design.

The romantic color palette . . . Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, Poppy Parade, and Real Red . . . creates the perfect backdrop for Valentine’s Day memories, weddings, anniversaries, or everyday love stories.


The kit includes:
• 10 sheets of Designer Series Paper
• 7 sheets of Two-Tone Cardstock
• Precut images & stickers
• White Willow Cardstock
• Photo placeholders

To elevate the layouts even more, I added:
✨ Baker’s Twine for texture
✨ Pearlized Faceted Circles for elegant shine
✨ Layered dimension with Stampin’ Dimensionals

Scrapbooking Workshop Kits are ideal for busy crafters who want quick, cohesive layouts without sacrificing creativity. You still get to personalize, embellish, and make the pages your own . . . just without starting from scratch.

This layout feels playful, romantic, and a little dramatic . . . in the BEST way. 😆💕

If you’re looking for:

💖 BONUS Layout – Heart Sweet 💖

Okay . . . this one might be my favorite of the entire Love Story series. 😍

For the Bonus Single-Page 12x12 Layout in my I Made This Myself Monday Love Story Scrapbooking Workshop, I created this bold heart-shaped circle cluster design . . . and I am OBSESSED. 💕

Look at all that layered goodness:
❤️ Patterned circle die cuts
✨ Glitter accents
💌 XOXO details
💖 “FUN TIMES” & “Now & Always” sentiment layers
💕 Scattered hearts for movement
✨ Rhinestone sparkle for dimension

The way the circles build into a large heart shape gives this layout so much visual impact while still leaving room for your photos to shine. 📸

And that “XO” in the center? Total focal point perfection. 😍

This page is perfect for:
💌 Valentine’s Day memories
💕 Engagement photos
💍 Anniversary celebrations
📸 Best friend snapshots
❤️ Any day you want to document love

I love that even though this was the “bonus” layout, it feels like a statement page in an album. It would make the PERFECT opening spread to a Valentine section. 💗

If you’ve been looking for:
✔️ 12x12 scrapbook layout inspiration
✔️ Valentine scrapbook ideas
✔️ Creative circle cluster techniques
✔️ Stampin’ Up! workshop kit inspiration

This one is such a fun design to recreate.

Memory keeping doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With thoughtfully designed workshop kits like this one, you can sit down at your craft table and actually finish beautiful layouts in a single afternoon. That feeling of completing pages . . . of holding your stories in your hands . . . is priceless.

I truly believe scrapbooking is one of the greatest gifts we can give our families. These albums become heirlooms. They become conversation starters. They become legacy.

So don’t wait for “someday.” Start documenting your love story today. 💕
