Hello My Dear Holiday Scrapbook Friend,
 
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanza and Happy Holidays to everyone.
 
Wes and I are all settled in at Millersylvania State Park in Washington State. We’ve been here since the 5th of November and finish up just before Christmas. Next stop is back to the first State Park we hosted at… Camano Island State Park. We are both looking forward to exploring more of the WA islands and western shores.
 
You’ll have to check out the photo stickers I made from the mushroom & hiking pictures we took here in the park. They are in the PC-ScrapbookElements.com section.
 
Are you ready for the holidays yet?
 
Turn Holiday Cards into Treasured Keepsakes
 
We got a great idea for Holiday Cards from one of our members a while back and I want to pass it on here again. It’s the perfect way to turn a simple Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanza card into a real keepsake.
 
Whether you make your cards or use holiday cards from the store, adding a family year in review letter on the inside will turn the card from just a nice gesture into a keepsake that friends and family look forward to receiving each year. I know we sure do.
 
If you make your own cards, and it’s so easy with digital scrapbook techniques and some card stock; you can easily print the inside of the card with a special holiday stationery and place your letter right there on the inside.
 
If you use boxed cards from the store, you can still put them through your printer and put a short letter on the blank part of the cards inside. If that isn’t enough room, you can use another sheet of paper and print your stationery and letter there. Then just include the letter with the card.
 
You may even want to turn the letter into a PDF file so friends and family can download it from your personal web site or you can eMail it to them complete with decorative stationery.
 
Don’t forget that you can get your totally FREE stationery downloads with no signups or hassles at: www.Free-Stationery.com or www.1-Computer-Stationery.com
 
We even just added 3 new    Christmas Stationery   , Hanukkah Stationery & Kwanza Stationeries to the site. We also just added a new A4 size category for all our European Scrapbook and Journaling friends.
 
If you are still in need of a really special gift that takes almost no time to create and is one of the best gifts you’ll ever give…
 
You can give our FREE Photo Calendars a try. They come all ready to just insert your photos, add any personal birthdays or events and then print as many as you need. They are also totally FREE with no signups or other hassles at:

Now, let’s go over the Scrapbook and Journaling news for this month.
 
New Landscape Format Sets –
 
We are working hard to get the new landscape (11×8.5) area called Scrapbook of a Lifetime loaded with new scrapbook template sets. I added 2 new categories for our Scrapbook of a Lifetime Landscape site:
 
Grunge and Kwanza
 
Pastels and Soft Expressions 8.5×11 and 12×12s
 
To date we have the Animals, Christmas and Halloween categories for Printable Pastels and Soft Expressions replaced with our new png format. I will be working on the New Years, Thanksgiving and Valentines categories next. So, get the ones you want on the site now before I replace them.
 
PC-Scrapbook Elements and Embellishments
 
I have 2 new ornament sets for our PC-ScrapbookElements site loaded now and I will be removing some of the alphabet tags and ornament sets in the Christmas category from this site after Christmas.
 
New Elements:
 
2 sets of Photo Stickers (Photo Art category)
 
2 sets of Christmas Stickers (Stickers category) Plus 2 bonus Christmas Stickers Mini-Frames (same stickers, but made into small mini-frames)
 
3 new alphabet tags (Santa and Church and Christmas alphs)
 
8.5×11 and 12×12 Scrapbook Templates
 
Just in time for the holidays, I have added 6 new digital scrapbook Christmas page sets to both the 8.5×11 and 12×12 areas of the members sections.
 
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and that you truly enjoy yourself, treasure your family and friends and feel unconditionally blessed by the joys they bring.
 
Happy Holidays
 
Kathy & Wes

Correction to the November Scrapbook Download News…

Posted on November 20th, 2009 by wwaddell.
Categories: Site Information.

Just a couple of quick corrections from the last scrapbooking news letter.

First, I will not be adding the kits & bits kits to the element site. What I meant to say was that I will continue using the elements from this site to create papers on our other sites.  That's what I get for getting in a hurry.

Second, the New PC-ScrapbookElements category is called Alph Words, not "Letters."  I have also replaced all the animal category now for Soft Expressions and am working on Printable Pastels and will have it done in just a few minutes from now as I write this.

That's it, have a great weekend everyone!

Kathy
