It's the time once again to think about our Christmas scrapbooks and where we'll keep your holiday photos and stories for 2021. I love this year's album featuring the Busy Sidewalks collection by Crate Paper. It perfectly captures the hustle and bustle and spirit of the holiday season. Shopping and preparations and bright colored packages pair with tree-covered hills and kids in the snow to highlight the fun of all the activities of December.

I can't wait to create this beautiful Christmas album with you during the live Zoom class sessions and the in-person sessions (we hope!) that will be offered this fall. As always, I will be giving you lots of ideas for using the page protectors and products in ways that you might not have imagined to create a book you'll treasure!

This year's Christmas class kit is huge once again! The retail value of the items in the kit is about $80.  It's a great size for all the photos you take throughout the holidays. I think that especially at this time of year we look for joy every day, and this album will be a great place to record our reflections and memories.

We will be creating in a new Vicki Boutin Christmas album that comes with preprinted pages and page protectors and filling it with papers and embellishments from Crate Paper's fun new Busy Sidewalks collection. The kit includes twelve 12x12" papers, an acetate sheet, and embellishments, including a full package of matching washi tapes, stickers, die cuts, chipboard, beautiful ribbons, and more. Printed directions with color photos are included in the class kit.

(Album size: 9" x 9 1/2" x 2")

Student supply list: 12" paper trimmer, pencil, ruler, scissors, scallop scissors, adhesive (I use 1/8" and 1/4" or 1/2" Scor-Pal tape most often), foam tape adhesive, scoring tool, stapler, Crop a Dile for the small hole and a 1/4" hole punch for page holes, powder to make stickers unsticky, and a corner rounder.
