I made this album to create a storybook of Christmas. It consists of seven separate pages full of photo frames and pockets to allow personalization and custom journaling. I incorporated various techniques such as paper layering, distressing, sewing and stamping. My hope is to inspire other crafters to tackle this rewarding project with their own special touch and creativity!

My name is Linda. I am a Registered Nurse working as an Assistant Director of Nursing in the State of Virginia. I started scrapbooking in 2007 when my husband’s ARMY career took us to the far reaches of the globe. Most of my layouts are inspired by daily activity; either at home with my family or at work. I enjoy this hobby as it allows me to express and capture special heartfelt moments in my life. Many of my friends consider my style to be eclectic - happy and full of bright colors. I am very excited to be able to contribute to Scrapbooking.com. Thank you so much for the opportunity!
