Congrats to our winner, Kelly Guercio.
Love these new papers! I actually don’t do much crafting around Christmas except for cards. I have instructions for a really cool wreath, hoping to get to that soon!!
Watch for an email from us so you can claim your prize!
Like many I am prepping my December Daily album for this year. I always love pulling previous albums out to share with my family, year after year. As good as it is to have those memories in one book, I really love the simplicity of a layout to summarize the 25th’s festivities.
I loved recently scrapping my sons first xmas. I wanted to include multiple photos, so it’s not my best layout ever but I love it because of the special day that it was. I actually put it up on my blog today! http://jessicatoulmin.blogspot.com/2011/11/bo-bunny-believe.html
I want to make a wreath with paper cones. I saw a picture somewhere and have been anxious to try it.b
I’m currently working on an album from 2 Christmases ago. Our family went to Disneyland for the holidays that year and it is so fun remembering the fun that was had that year. I need more Christmas papers and embellies!
I love making paper chains with the kids so they can count down the days to Christmas.
We also like making chains out of patterned paper to hang on the tree. We do a different one every year!
I am looking forward to making my own Christmas Cards. I make them every year.
I’m excited to make my Christmas cards. Love to play with different designs each year. So nice to see the new products available!
I’m excited to be scrapping about my daughter’s Christmas. It’ll be her second, but the first she can really enjoy.
I love the Peppermint collection! I love all of those easy journaling cards. My favorite project I made last year was a scrapbook/calendar as a gift.
Thank you so much! I am so excited to win this awesome prize – can hardly wait to start!!
