Christmas in July

The holidays are a special part of our memories, there are often wonderful moments that we remember for a lifetime. Indulging yourself in Christmas Past by browsing photos and remembering the magic stirs those memories. Now we can preserve these special moments with our thoughts and the details of the day. A special photo like this one deserves to be enjoyed again and again.

Some photos take you back to the moment. Certain songs or a favorite tablecloth - recipes and food (the times spent with Mom or Grandma in the kitchen baking cookies). Take the time to write down some of these memories; journaling is an important addition to your layouts.

If you become overwhelmed with so many memories, take them one at a time.
Give yourself the time to choose your words - digital scrapbooking allows
that we can go back and edit the design and the journaling.

The pages you are creating this week can add joy to another's life, too.
Multiple copies are no problem - one for you, one for Mom and Mom-In-Law
(Grandmas, too!). Don't quit when the week is over - continue to fill
your album with pages of your Holiday Magic.
