Welcome to my very first instructional post...
I'm super excited to share with you this layout using the very beautiful Yuletide Carol Paper Pack from Close To My Heart. I know it's early for Christmas but no matter the season there's always time for crafting. Adapt this layout to suit whatever it is you want to scrapbook at the moment. That's the real beauty of CTMH paper packs. These colours will adapt very well to heritage photos or outdoor images too.
