Christmas in July: Get a Head Start on Christmas

July 10, 2015 By Melissa Shanhun 25 Comments

Right now, Christmas may be the last thing on your mind, but I know I don't want to spend all of November and December in one big tizzy of red, green and fake snow.

So that's why Santa's little helpers at Scrapbook Bundles are releasing a Christmas in July Bundle - so you won't be harried Christmas Elf come December.

Are you pressed for time during the holidays? (HINT: The answer is YES!)

Do you want to make handmade gifts, cards, and scrapbook pages, but find it hard to find inspiration to help you get it all done NOW, before all the madness begins? Have we got the solution for you! Our Christmas in July Bundle contains all the information, inspiration, and instruction you need to craft your most creative Christmas ever. In this bundle you’ll learn how to:

  • Create easy, inexpensive gifts for everyone on your list
  • Spend more quality time with your family while counting down the days to Christmas
  • Make a beautiful December Daily album or Christmas Journal
  • Use cut files and your iPhone to create your own journal and filler cards for pocket-style scrapping
  • Upcycle everyday household items into stunning holiday projects
  • Use digital printables to create your own holiday greeting cards and scrapbook elements
  • Make custom photo gifts
  • Use your art supplies to create a unique Christmas journal
  • And so much more!

You’ll have the tools and inspiration to get started creating right away.

See how I did it

I created the layouts using my super-simple template set and here's how it turned out.

If the process of digital scrapbooking has you mystified, I'd love to show you how I created one of the layouts in this book using just a template, photo, kit and the move tool, in 4 minutes.

    I used to gather my Christmas gifts or make them all during the year. Now I have grandchildren that grow so fast that I can’t keep up. Christmas in July sounds so great! It even makes me not notice the unseasonably hot weather that we are having this summer. Winning the giveaway would be a dream come true! Thanks for the opportunity!

    Summer is sacrosanct for me as an educator…those hours at home are simply precious and I try to catch up on things I have let go through the year(s). This year the summer has gone by too fast – but I still want to make an advent calendar – every year – it is on my to do list – every year it gets pushed to the back burner….not to mention some photo books – would love to win this packet of prizes. Thanks for the opportunity.

    I always like to get a head start on my Christmas cards, but it doesn’t always happen. I believe this album is already in my stash, but I don’t see the digi kit there. Love your classes – and spending time this summer working through them!

    I love to scrapbook, but with the 4 of us (myself, my husband, our 5 yr old and a Yorkie) living in a 900 sq.ft. 1 bedroom house; it is not easy. I hope to get back to scrap-booking soon. Happy Scrapping!!

    Thanks for the opportunity to possibly win this Christmas bundle. Seems like I never have enough time at Christmas to scrapbook, write cards, etc… It all comes way too fast. I enjoy reading and trying all your tips on Photoshop Elements. Thank you Melissa

    Oh my goodness – this would make everything SO much easier! I am expecting my first grandson in a week or so, and I have 2 lovely granddaughters. That means I must shop or create for 3 couples, 2 single men, 2 small girls and 1 baby boy (plus my mom, sister, brother and friends).
