Quick Christmas Cards and a new Quick Page

This time of the year can get very hectic and that can be stressful. Anything that we can find to minimize stress and allow us to enjoy the season is a blessing. These Christmas Card templates are quick and easy. This Joyous Christmas design is in png format and in four popular print sizes. Simply add your favorite family picture! There is even space to personalize the card with your name. You can get this card template at my store - here.


And, introducing a new quick page - for that special Christmas layout. Simply add a picture, some journaling and your layout is complete. And these fabulous colors are a sneak preview to the Faith Sisters Collaboration Kit that will be coming in December. You can find this quick page here



Here is a layout I made with this quick page - I cannot wait to add it to my album.

As we look forward to a week of Thanksgiving Blessings, make sure you take time for you!

Till next time...by the Shore

November 1,2,3 Scrap! Challenge

It is the third Thursday of the month - time for our November 1,2,3 Scrap! Challenge.

Thanksgiving is a holiday to express thankfulness, gratitude, and appreciation to God, family and friends for which all have been of material possessions and relationships. Traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. In Canada, Thanksgiving is held in October; in the United States, Thanksgiving is held in November. We each have so much to be thankful for - year-round.

This month's challenge ~ create a layout or card with the following:

1. Use the words Thanksgiving or Give Thanks in your layout
2. Use however many pictures you choose, but at least one of the pictures needs to include
YOU. (I know this is hard, but you can do it)
3. Use a heart somewhere on your layout.

If you are creating your layout or card digitally, please use some of the papers and elements in our Faith Sisters Store.

To help you get started, here is my Give Thanks Word Art - created just for this challenge. You may download it for free here

Please post your layout (or card) in the 1,2,3 Scrap! Forum and the 1,2,3 Scrap! gallery. Spread the word and let everyone know how much you have to be thankful for.

I can't wait to see what you create this month!

Are you ready? 1,2,3 Scrap!
