This simple scrapbook page features a color blocking layout and is embellished with stamped snowflakes to match the colors in the layout. Although not traditionally colors for winter layouts, I chose them because of their strong masculine feel that complimented the photo of my son, Brandon.

The cover of a 6x6 one sheet wonder scrapbook album that I made for my mother-in-law when we were visiting her in Maui. After stamping the very vanilla and old olive cardstock on both sides, I simply cut the sheets in half. I used one of each strip folded in half as my pages. Then, I cut the 2 remaining strips in two and adhered them to the pages before assembling them.

Mele Kaliki Maka! Spending Christmas in Maui was quite the change from our snowy season in Minnesota. We took Brandon to see Santa at the Kula hardware store. At first he would not sit on the jolly giant's lap, until his dad joined him.
