I’ve “known” (via internet) Nancy Nally for about 4-5 years now, and when I saw her put out a call in need of postings for her site I answered right away. Her site (scrapbook update) is always full of industry news & a great place to stay posted on what’s going on with scrapbook mfgs and so much more.
I pitched her a bunch of ideas (you know me) and she asked for my holiday scrapbooking one. WOO HOO! A favorite topic of mine for baking, decor, present making, and yes – scrapbooking is of course the holiday season! It was a total treat to do this – and I’m excited that it’s time to share with you!
I wrote up an article + there are 3 all new layouts that I created with American Craft’s Merrymint, Pink Paislee’s Mistletoe & Co, and Basic Grey’s Eskimo Kisses. So often I used to have people freak when we didn’t have THE holiday item they needed (back when I was a local store manager) & I remember my #1 wish was that companies would make themed product that could be more multi-purpose. I love multi-tasking product lines like these three!
You can see the whole article (and layouts) here: http://www.scrapbookupdate.com/2009/10/29/choosing-holiday-scrapbook-supplies/
There’s an awful lot of product out there these days to choose from – picking favorites is hard work. I had a lot of fun with this article – and if you have questions, comments, etc. I hope you’ll chat with me about it.
Love the concept of multi-purpose themed product – I’m going to try and sneak time to read your article today while I’m at work.
Your article was great.
I’m trying to weed out things from my stash that I no longer use or bought on a wim & now wonder why lol. I still have a hard time resisting the new papers though.
May, I’m so thrilled to have you guesting on Scrapbook Update! Your article has me wanting to put my tree up already (I really hope my husband doesn’t read your site and see me say that LOL)
And I hope soon I get a chance to give you the big hello hug that I’ve had waiting for you for a long time! 🙂
Off to read~!
I love the article, great job. I have been reading scrapbook update for a while and it was my little secret that made me feel like an insider. Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag 🙂
Loved the article May, I’ve posted a commend. But thought I should post one here as well. Loved the lo’s you made. They were beautiful. Bye Irene
