Time for a new art journal layout! My art journal videos have become too popular on YouTube for some reason and I get tons of emails and comments asking for more!

Truth is that creating an art journal is so much fun and I would love to create more if I had the time. So today I am sharing my Christmas layout together with a how-to video.

I created the gifts using patterned paper, ribbon and adding bows made out of floss

The nutcracker is so adorable! It’s a stamp by Tim Holtz from his blueprint collection. Also check out the white stars made out of embossing paste! Great effect!

another detail worth checking out are the rubons! Love that they are white and add detail and light on my layout.

  4. Where did you get the stars stencil. I did not see it in the supplies list. Love your pages and cards!! Thank you!

    1. The start stencil is by Studio Calico and it’s called “Star pattern mark”. But I have the filling that it is discontinued or out of stock because I couldn’t find where to link it!
      Hope the name helps you to track it down!

  5. Wonderful Vicky..just stunning.Love the texture of the stars and the little gifts with the nutcracker soldier..love the tickets and the sentiment done on the paper…just fabulous.

  33. Hello Vicky,

    I looooove your videos and watch them very VERY often. Now that I also tried to do an art journal page, I was wodnering though how you keep your pages from sticking together after adding so much gel medium? Any tips? 🙂

    Keep up the awesome work!
