DIY Holiday Digital Scrapbook Pages
Hi everyone!
My name is Candice Palmer. I have been a professional photographer for fourteen years, a mom for eleven years, and a lover of all things crafty pretty much my entire life. All of these interests kind of collided into an obsession with scrapbooking a few years ago.
Through the years I have worked as a contributing editor for Simple Scrapbooks magazine and have had fun adding to lots of scrapbooking publications. My work is currently featured at write.click.scrapbook.com.
I’m excited to get to share a couple of ideas with you today!
Well I don’t know about the rest of you, but here in Oklahoma we’re finally getting a bit of chill in the air and I’m starting to get excited about the upcoming holidays!
So while looking through some festive photos from last year I decided to create a couple of DIY Holiday Digital Scrapbook Pages.
I’m a pretty simple scrapper and I often copy my own schemes when I repeat pages to make things easier. I have three children and anything that helps me simplify is where it’s at.
So for today I want to share a super simple sketch and my two takes on it.
For starters, here’s the sketch:
Simple and sweet. I like my photos to be the highlight of my scrapbooking pages, so I used an enlargement-sized portrait for this sketch.
Okay, here’s take number one:
And take number two:
Same scheme. Very different layout. And that’s what I like about schemes.
Now if you’re interested, the amazing and lovely Michelle Underwood (who designed all of the adorable digi products I used on my layouts today) would like to give away some of her cute cute kits to a whole bunch of Crafting Chicks readers.
So, if you will reply to this post with your name and your favorite trick-or-treat candy, I will choose five winners who will each win both of the following kits:
Giveaway is closed.
Giveaway will be open until midnight 10/5 and winners will be announced Wednesday. Winners will be contacted via email and will have 72 hours to claim the prize.
Thanks for letting me stop by! 🙂

My favorite Halloween treat is my aunts homemade carmel corn…a definate stop on Halloween night!! Thanks for the digi scrapbooking idea. I like the look of scrapbooks but simple don’t have the time, and who wants another mess to clean! I have thought about digi scrapbooking, but I’m afraid it will be harder than it looks. You make it look pretty simple.
My favorite Halloween candy is the mini Snickers bars. I just can’t restrain myself with those.
Me too! Simple is the best! I have seven children and simplicity is where it’s at. Love the layouts and the different looks! My favorite trick-or-treat candy is the candy corn flavored taffy! Love it!
My favorite Halloween treat is homemade chili and scones. (Not really a treat, but still yummy!) My aunt started this tradition and when she passed away, we decided to keep doing it!

Looove those kits! My favorite Halloween candy will forever be mini Three Musketeers. I could eat whole bag before trick or treaters even begin to arrive.

I that your pictures are the focus of the page. Super cute! Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups all the way!
So simple, but oh so cute! I love anything with chocolate:)
Great layouts. I really love tart and fruity candies like nerds, sweetarts and the like. But I love candy so much that there is few candies I don’t like! Halloween is a dream come true for people with an relentless sweet tooth like me. Thanks for a chance to win this wonderful giveaway.
I LOVE these! So cute! I’d love to win! My favorite candy this time if year seems to be reeses peanut butter cups! I am pregnant so maybe thatbhas something to do with the giant bag I have hidden away for just me 🙂
So cute! My favorite Halloween candy is Almond Joys! Yummy!
My favorite Halloween candy is the mini-snickers. Just enough to get my sweet tooth craving fixed.
My kids don’t like them so we end up having a jar of Halloween Kisses (just what are they supposed to taste like, pumpkin?) sitting on the table for weeks and somehow by the time they are gone I am addicted.
Very cute! Seems like that would help simplify my scrapbooking sooooo much!
Pick one candy?!? haha ummm those candy corn shaped pumpkins, ok, now I’ve gotta go get some…
My FAVORITE Halloween candy is caramels. YUMMY!!!! I could eat the whole bag to myself. 🙂
Super cute layouts, I think you have inspired me to scrap again. I love Kit kats and Twix. This will sound super weird, but I love to smell my kids trick or treating pumpkins. I love the smell of all the yummy candy mixed. It reminds me of when I was little.
Great sketch and such cute pages!!!
Anything with caramel in it!!!
But my all-time favorite it not candy! It’s anything pumpkin!! I wait all year for fall to get here to have some of my favorite fall goodies!!

Definately the Hershey Bars! I Bite off one Square at a time and since there are 4 squares, I like to make it last:)Thankyou!
I love the layout! So simple, so perfect. Beautiful!
I always swipe the little baggy of Sour Patch Kids from my son’s Trick-or-Treat bag. He’s got his eye on the Kit Kat’s so he never notices when the non-chocolate stuff disappears. 😛
Do I have to pick one candy? Hmmm… probably a Reese’s Fastbreak. So yummy!
Hey! Saw your ideas on MarthaStewart.com and loved it, had to check out your site and now I love IT too! lol my favorite halloween candy has to be the black and orange Mary Jane peanut butter taffies! they always bring about nostalgia and the times when I was young wearing a vinyl costume from a box and dividing up my candy with my sister at the table.
I love candy corn & peanuts.
It’s basically impossible for me to choose a favorite candy! But I guess for the sake of it, I’ll say big hunks!
Love the layouts!

Twix….yummy. And, those kits – also yummy!
