Journal Your Christmas

Yes, it’s that time of year again – time to compile my Journal Your Christmas album. Being that we arrive back home from the cruise on the 1st Dec I thought I’d best get to together before we leave. This year I decided to go with a 6×6 album – hoping it won’t be too small. I plan to print out smaller photos at home every couple of days.

I’ve left the inside pretty plain for now and will add embellishments after I see how much room the photos and journalling takes up.

You can find out about this years class on here. What I love is that once you join, you can join in every other year FOR FREE!!! Not often that happens is it?

Yesterday I made up this gorgeous card holder with a Bo Bunny kit – love it! So quick (took about an hour) and so easy. Now I just need some Christmas cards :-).
