This Week . . .

 

I won't be making any posts related to scrapbooking or my December album this week. I won't be sharing new designs that I've created. I won't be working at all. This week is for me. This week is for my family. This week is for my friends. This week is for my community. This week is for my Newtown.

If you feel the need to commemorate December 14, please do so by simply showing kindness - that day and everyday. Make the choice to be better, do better, and show kindness to those around you. Remember, kindness is a choice. It is an intentional and conscious decision that you make. It is a learned behavior and a skill. 

It's not always easy to be kind and it does take practice. But the end result is worth the effort. Lets all work together in making this world a better and more tolerant place. 

Hope, Peace and Love to you this week. xo

I'll have pictures of what I have going on so far here in the next couple days, but for now, hopefully this will give you something fun to play with!

Shop Update | Fair Isle Cut Files Added!

 

Fair Isle cut files are here!

Included are three different designs for album dividers for your 6x8" holiday albums. 
All three files (December shown) include a front "design" along with a matching back window design, that allows you to customize your divider with vellum, transparency and patterned paper, while keeping the "window" transparent to the back of the cover, giving you a polished and complete look. Here I used a white cardstock for the front of my divider, layered white cardstock under my "December" and added both vellum and transparency to my window. Then used my back piece with a colorful patterned paper, with it's window that lines up perfectly to my front side, still allowing me to view my vellum and image from the front.

In addition are two separate image cutting files. Each containing 3 separate designs.

 

I hope you like these designs! I'm so excited about them and am looking forward to creating my December album using them!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a super day!
