I hope you are having a fabulous holiday! Today, I am sharing a holiday themed layout on the Victoria Marie YouTube Channel called Merry Everything, using the November Hip Kit Club scrapbooking kit and scrapbooking kit add-on (sold out).
Every year during the holidays, my family and I enjoy what we like to call fancy hot cocoa. Our fancy cocoa always includes whipped cream, sprinkles, marshmallows, and candy canes. I love setting up our hot cocoa station complete with all of our favorite fixings. It’s our yearly winter tradition that we look forward to!
See this layout come together on the Victoria Marie YouTube Channel. Photos of this project are provided below.
The photos in this layout were taken almost five years ago when my daughter was in kindergarten. After a particularly long day of work and school, we stopped at Target to buy fancy hot cocoa fixings. I remember how excited she was to find marshmallows that were shaped like tiny Christmas trees!
I love the layered look of the page! All of the products used are exclusive from the Hip Kit Club. Unfortunately, this particular kit is sold out. But, be sure to stop by the Hip Kit Club Shop to see their latest kits!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season! Look for more scrapbook inspiration to come!
Did you know that Scrapbook.com has a new line a pocket cards? In my latest process video on the Victoria Marie YouTube Channel, I create a collage background using the Everyday Moments Simple Scrapbooking Pocket Cards by Scrapbook.com!
I love pocket scrapbooking, but over the years, I have incorporated pocket cards in a variety of scrapbooking projects – travelers notebooks, mini albums, card projects, and traditional layouts! The Simple Scrapbooking Pocket Cards are stunning and feature modern designs and prints.
I used one 4×6 inch and three 3×4 inch pocket cards to create a collage background on a 12 x 12 inch scrapbook layout. Using items from my stash, I added a title, pattern paper, and embellishments to round out the overall design.
The Simple Scrapbook Pocket Cards come in a pack of 3 x 4 inch and 4 x 6 inch double sided cards. There are plenty of cards for journaling, adding photos, and embellishments. If you like using pocket cards, be sure to check these out!
To see this layout come together, check out the following process video. Links to available products used for this project are posted below!

Mighty Networks App and Apple In-App Purchases Notice
Attention Apple iOS Users (iPhone, iPad):
Members can access the Victoria Marie Designs Mighty Network through the Mighty Networks App or on the network website.
However, if you are an Apple iOS user, keep in mind that Apple charges a $30.00 In-App Purchase fee if you use the Mighty Networks App to purchase any premium content (ex: classes, workshops, premium groups).
Mighty Networks currently partners with Apple to offer an iOS Mighty Networks App to members and users (for both Apple and Android).
Because I feel that this is an outrageous amount, I have disabled the in-app purchase option for iOS devices on the Victoria Marie Designs Mighty Network platform.
OPTION: If you are an iOS user (iPhone, iPad), you will need to use the Victoria Marie Designs Mighty Network website (not the iOS Mighty Networks App) to purchase premium content (i.e. crops, class) OR go to the Victoria Marie Designs Mighty Networks site using the web browser on your iPhone. You will not be able to purchase the crop using the Mighty Networks App on our Apple iOS device.
This does not apply to In-App Purchases on Android devices.
Thank you so much for your continued support! I cannot wait to hang out with you! If you have any questions, email victoria@victoriamariescraps.com.

There is a big change coming to Victoria Marie Designs this fall! Over the past couple of months, I announced to the Victoria Marie Facebook Group that I will be closing the group and moving over to a Mighty Network.
A Mighty Network platform allows online content creators a space to house all of their social media and community building platforms under one roof. Starting November 2020, Victoria Marie Facebook group members will be moving to the Victoria Marie Mighty Network. The VM Facebook Group will be deactivated on January 30, 2021.
The Victoria Marie Mighty Network is FREE to join and will feature both free and paid content (i.e. online classes, online virtual crops, discussion groups, events). The Network can be accessed on a PC or laptop, as well as through the Mighty Network App (iOS and Android).
Meet Other Scrappers! One of the features that I love about the Mighty Network is that is allows members to connect in organic ways! As a member, you can join groups, participate in chats, and connect with members who reside in your area and by shared interest!
To learn more about the Victoria Marie Mighty Network, be sure to watch the Victoria Marie Mighty Network Live Zoom Information Session Recorded Replay.
