Christmas Advent

Here's my design team project for this month at Scrapbook Island in San Jose. If you are in the area, check it out in person. I'm not a great photographer. lol.

Christmas Joy Kits

I have a limited number of this year's Christmas kits left. This "Christmas Joy" album uses scalloped 13 x 7 chipboard covers by Teresa Collins and vintage papers by some of my favorite companies, such as Creative Imaginations and Graphic 45. You know me--there's tons of embellishments, including flowers, bling, pockets, ribbon, transparencies, tags, tulle, etc. This kit will go together quickly, just in time for your special Christmas photos.


Sale price $25 (previously $35) plus $5 shipping.
