I LOVE Christmas!
I love that for me, and others with a Christian faith, Christmas holds great religious meaning.
I love that the anticipation, preparations and celebrations fall smack dab in the middle of what might otherwise be an unbearably long, cold, and dark winter—at least in the Northern hemisphere.
I love the details of Christmas—the traditions, the decorations, the music, and (of course) the dipped-in-chocolate-and-then-rolled-in-crushed-candy-cane goodies that are left on my porch.

Besides being the name of an upcoming workshop, a December Duo is a fun & unique way to record your holiday memories!
The idea is to start on December 12 and then capture a different "duo" every day until Christmas. Your duos might include "Before / After," "Give / Receive," "Warm / Cold," you get the picture.

One of the pages I completed for this challenge is actually a Halloween page, so I thought it might be a good one to share as we finish our countdown to major candy and dozens of new photographs this weekend!
One of the things that sometimes stumps me in my quest for scrapbook productivity is my HUGE stash of patterned paper. I LOVE patterned paper.

Just like fashion, there are no rules to scrapbooking! Sure, there are design principles and ever-changing trends, but the scrapbook police are not about to hunt you down.

I am a huge fan of mini-books. I’ve made literally hundreds! So imagine my delight when Amy Tan’s project is a mini-book based on things that inspire!

A favorite inspiration topic is music and it definitely is a huge inspiration in my life in many ways.

Don't you love seeing sneak peeks of art projects before they're finished? It kind of feels like walking through a newly framed house, seeing a celebrity without makeup on, watching What Not to Wear, looking at a baby and imagining what she'll look like when she grows up. You just see so much raw possibility. There's a fun final reveal awaiting you sometime soon, but for the moment, you can imagine all sorts of outcomes.
