This year, I swore I wasn't going to buy any Christmas paper because I have too much Christmas paper! But then this beautiful Kraft Christmas Theme paper followed me home from Michaels :)
Even though I have yet to make a Christmas scrapbook layout, I have used the Holiday paper to make some cards and also used it to make albums to store past Christmas cards received.
Then there was this one time I went through my stash and gave some of the paper (from Christmas Slabs--not the good stuff--ha ha ha) to my niece for her daughter's girl scout troop.
But other than that...it just sits there waiting...wanting to be used.
I had an obsession with the Slabs and Stacks for a while.
In addition to those, I have a few single papers from various collections--aren't they so awesomely pretty!!
Basic Grey-Figgy Pudding & Blitzen
Love Elsie-Noel
Various papers
My Mind's Eye-Be Merry
Bo Bunny-Snowfall (not all that "Christmasy" but oh so yummily pretty!!!!)
I did not add links since most of these papers are so old that they are no longer available to buy.
Like my November Project Life, I plan to combine my December Project Life into a December Daily // Journal Your Christmas format. Ali Edwards has done the Daily December for years as a mini album, but again, just like November, I don't have time or enough items to take double pictures of every day for an entire month (and why have scrapbook the same thing twice). So this is my solution.
I tried using up my Christmas//Holiday papers that I had for my journal cards and hoped to not buy any more Christmas paper, but after going through all the papers I had, I was a few papers short of a full month (I mean I can't use the same papers twice, right?)
So I HAD to stop at my Local Scrapbook Store--Scrapbook Island for a couple more sheets.
"Daily" 4x3 cards (35 cards--31 days, plus 4 date cards)
Ugghhhh...why did you show off all that yummy goodness?!?! Now i want to go shopping!!
