Christmas 2012
by Brit Sviggum
Christmas in May? YES! It's perfectly okay to scrap your photos whenever YOU want! We love the fact that Brit took one of her favorite photos from this special holiday and scrapped it.
She used Hello Pastel papers, but pulled deep rich reds and golds from her embellishments turning this in to a keepsake project.

We are also excited to link you to a fabulous class by the one and only Donna Downey!

Hello! My name is Angel and I would love to win an album. I like them all so you can just surprise me.

Oh yummy, nothing is better than Project Life BH and Prima, wow! Would love to make my gorgeous mom an album with my favorite kit, the Seafoam, thanks for pumping up the gorgeous-ness factor Juliana! Thanks for the chance to win.

Waaaah!! How beautiful are they all?! I think I'm sold on this PL stuff! Going against my usual love of pastel, I think I like the Olive collection the best! Can't wait to explore project life further ;)
lots of lovely inspiration :)

Beautiful inspiration! My favorite is the layout by Solange. The colors are so vibrant! Thanks!

Truly lovely work!

I would like to know what Solange did to blend her photo into the scrapbooking paper. I don't have the knowledge base to look at a page and know what techniques were used to produce the design. It is so frustrating to find work that really inspires me, and not know how to develop the look for myself. Congrats Solange, beautiful work.
