A Christmas Card featuring Graphic 45's Christmas Carol!

Hello Friends!

I love getting into the holiday spirit by working in my craft room. I especially enjoy creating handmade cards and love the look on their faces when family and friends open up the envelope and find a special creation made just for them. Graphic 45's Christmas Carol is so much fun to work with, I adore the imagery and colors! Hope you make time this holiday to get creative. Happy crafting. :-)

Here are more photos of the card I created:

It's not too late to get started on some homemade cards. Hope I was able to inspire you to get creating! ♥

Have a fabulous holiday season and see you back here soon!

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:

Have a fabulous weekend ahead, and thanks for stopping by today!
