It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Snow has hit Minnesota and the temperature plunged to -18 last week...brrrrr...thank goodness for reliable furnaces and warm clothes. The exciting news is that means the holidays are upon us!

We're working on our Christmas card today, and in the coming weeks have many concerts and recitals of the kids' to attend, plus lively family gatherings. Life is full and we are very blessed. May yours be, as well, but still allow time for capturing those memories. Our little Philip has become fascinated with videotaping, so we plan to assign him the task of capturing the animated storytelling that goes on at our extended family events. We'll see how that goes!

Thanks for your support over the past three years! I thought a fun freebie this month would be samplings of different seasonal products, so we took two winter sentiment tags using Thena Smith's poetry from our Simply Stated CD, a snowflake paper from our Snow Play Page Pak, and some embroidery from our new Embroidery Stitches Pak 2, all of which coordinate for you to create beautiful winter memory pages. Enjoy! And, Simply Stated is on sale for just $19.95 through December 15th.

Our Creative Team will wow you with their holiday projects in our Building Blocks section this month. Beth Ervin, our paper/digital crafter extraordinaire loves making cards, thousands of them! This month,  she'll guide you in making two folk art holiday cards with digital stitching and  quilting.

Since digital photography is one of my favorite addictions, I wanted to share a few tips you may find useful. Every aspect of my photography improves the more I shoot and the more I read.

See below for our DOWNLOAD SALE, good through Thursday, Dec. 15th! And, check out What's New: Birthday Bash Page Pak, ScrapOver Twists Winter Collection, 5x7 Album Paks, Embroidery Stitches Pak 1 & 2.

Congratulations to JaNae Messick, this month's featured customer, who uses our download Calendar Paks to make milestone album pages. Fun idea! Check out her file organization tip, too!

Happiest of holidays to everyone,

-Michelle Shefveland, Founder
