CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

November was a busy month and I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving with your family and loved ones.  We certainly have lots to be thankful for.
Can you believe Christmas is on it's way?  I have been on a creative frenzy lately and I have lots to post. 
 You are invited to come back for my 12 Days of Christmas posts starting December 3rd.  I will be posting suggestions for cards, gifts, packaging and more.  Please stop by and leave a comment.
This is one of my favorite times of year.  What's yours?

AVONLEA SCRAPBOOKING WORKSHOP-ON-THE-GO

These beautiful Avonlea papers capture a sweet and timeless feel to your layouts.  The versatility of the colors in the paper packet make it easy to change the overall look of each layout.

Here are two of the three layouts we created this week at our Creative Scrapbooking Class.

This layout design is found on page 7 of this season's NEW "Make it From Your Heart" publication.

This is the additional layout from the

 Avonlea Workshop on the Go.

  Here I turned the layout from the Workshop-on-the-Go to give it a different look.
