The 12x12 papers from the Nordic Nights Collection can be trimmed down and utilized in smaller albums.

  

Creating cohesive 6x8 spreads for your December Daily album can be a fun design challenge, especially when working with 12x12 papers. The Cocoa Daisy Nordic Nights Scrapbook Kit and Nordic Nights 12x12 Paper Add-On make this process seamless, thanks to the stunning full-page designs. I’ve used one of those beautifully illustrated 12x12 papers on this foundation page to create a unified and visually dynamic spread.

 

The trick to using a full-page design across a double 6x8 layout is strategically cutting the 12x12 paper so the imagery flows naturally across both pages. In this spread, the Nordic winter village scene extends across the left and right sides, creating a sense of continuity. This approach draws the eye across both pages, making them feel like one cohesive story.

 

 

To add depth and interest, I layered coordinating elements from the Nordic Nights Scrapbook Kit, including die cuts, rub-ons, chipboard frames, and stickers. These embellishments enhance the scene's natural flow without overpowering the beautiful artwork of the background paper. I used the plaid patterned paper as photo mats, adding pops of texture and color while echoing the soft winter tones of the Nordic Nights Scrapbook Kit. By incorporating these details, the spread remains functional for storytelling while still looking polished and complete.

 

 

    

This foundation page is a great example of how 12x12 full-page designs can elevate your December Daily spreads. By thoughtfully cutting and layering, you can create layouts that feel intentional and connected. If you’ve been hesitant to use full-page designs in a smaller album, I hope this inspires you to experiment and make the most of the Cocoa Daisy Nordic Nights collection. It’s the perfect way to document cozy winter memories with style!
