Lori perfectly captures the joy of the holidays in this layout below. Precious family moments can be kept for generations to come with a beautiful layout!
"My boys are growing up so fast and this picture is one that was taken some years ago of my youngest son. He was such a fun little guy, I miss those toddler days. I don’t think he had been eating big boy food all that long when this picture was taken so dunking them in milk was pure bliss.
I love the way you can take a sheet of Graphic 45 paper and create your own embellishments. Don’t have chipboard and banners on hand? No problem, just fussy cut any of the detailed pictures and mount with foam tape to create layers and layers of dimensions like I did with all the holly leaves." ~Lori

I love the Snapguide Tutorial. You have the Most creative designers.
What I don't like is the new contest entry system. What is a "share link" that they can't get from me? Anyway, I'll keep reading your blog whether I can enter a contest or not.

Love, love, love the snapguide tutorial! As always, Graphic 45 DT'ers are pure inspiration!

The bag for the cards is so cute! Must have a look at tutorial to see if simple enough for me... I do hope new competition entry is giving more chances to win. But think you must know I rarely miss a day here regardless of competitions.... Not always main priority... Tfs
