Ideas are rather conventional and the essence of being artistic is gone because of so many accessories stuffed inside the book.

All you have to do is to always keep in mind that the images and the pictures you take is what makes up the holiday experience memorable.

A picture of your kids wearing Christmas costume, or your children sitting on Santa's lap and opening their Christmas presents will do.
For your layout, you can trim the standard scrapbook size (12 x 12 inches) into 12 x 8inches as your background for your layout as most photo card manufacturers make 4 x 6 photos. Writing a short descriptive sentence on the page close to the picture will be a good way to describe the picture, plus it gives a sense of personal touch.
