Happy Galentine’s Day, friends! 💕 Hi, Ali (FunAdventuresWithAli) here today! I’m sharing a love-filled XOXO Scrapbook Layout dedicated to my amazing gal pals! This project features an adorable XOXO cut file, it was the perfect combo for documenting such a special friendship.
Friends for 40 years with these beautiful ladies is rare and incredibly special. No matter what life brings, I know I can always count on them. That deserves to be celebrated—and scrapbooked! To commemorate and for Galentine’s Day, I organized a fun night out at Indulgence where we attended a chocolate and cocktail pairing. The venue had a wall decorated with the cutest X’s, O’s, and hearts, which made the perfect backdrop for a photo of our girl squad. Of course, that photo had to take center stage on this layout.
XOXO Layout Foundation
For the design, I started with a bold red cardstock background and layered white cardstock on top before adding a beautiful blue and red plaid paper. I cut the XOXO cut file from white cardstock so it would really pop against the patterned paper.
Embellish the Cut File
Using the 6 x 6 patterned paper pad, I backed the cut file with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Designer’s Tip: Choose five different patterns to keep it cohesive but playful. Center the XOXO cut file onto the layout and pop it up with my favorite Crafty Foam Tape White 13ft.! I’m all about that pop!
Mat my photo with the same dispenser and then add Crafty Foam Tape White 13ft. to one side so it sits as high as the cut file itself—dimension makes everything better, right?
Finishing Touches
I added a fun flair to the “O” next to my photo. Around my matted photo, two heart balloons, a “Hugs and Kisses” title and little hearts were placed and popped up using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Toward the bottom of the cut file, I’ve secured more ephemera pieces (heart, present and heart jar). Lastly, at the bottom using the foam squares, I added a flower bouquet and a sweet teddy bear.
This layout is full of love, dimension, and meaningful memories—just like my friendships. I hope you’re able to celebrate and document your gal pal relationships this month. They are truly special and will always hold a place in my heart.
With love,
Ali Skifton (FunAdventuresWithAli) 💕
