Welcome

As the holidays approach, my to do list seems to be getting longer rather than shorter. I've got decorations to put up, gifts to buy, food to prepare, parties to attend and cards to send out in addition to my normal list of "chores." I always try to squeeze in a little "me time," and the best way I know how is through crafting. This week our newsletter features articles and layouts that will help you create perfect Christmas pages.

Happy Crafting!

Feature Article: Christmas Wrappings - Inspiration from Gift Wrap and Trim
By: Deanna Doyle

Grab a cup of hot cocoa or tea, put on your favorite carols and get ready to wrap, layouts that is! While you shop for gift wrap and trim this year, don’t forget to pick up a few extra goodies to use on your layouts. Gift tags make wonderful accents, ribbons can dress up a page, and even the wrapping paper itself can be used for a great background. In addition, check out package adornments for even more embellishment ideas. If you use items such as these on your layouts, make sure to use a de-acidification spray to protect your photographs.
