12x12 Scrapbook Layout featuring Graphic 45's Christmas Carol!

Hello friends! 

I have a quick share today and it's just in time for the holiday season! I created this 12x12 scrapbook page of my family and I. The photo was taken a few weeks ago by the Main Street Christmas tree at Disneyland in Southern California. We love the feeling of Christmas in the park and always make it a point to visit each year when the holiday decorations go up. It's so festive, colorful and fun!

My layout features Graphic 45's Christmas Carol paper collection, which was perfect for this project. 

Here are some photos:
