My Creative Scrapbook Limited Edition Reveal

I am so sad to announce that this is my last reveal as a DT for My Creative Scrapbook. It has been such an honor and pleasure to work with such a talented, fun, and caring team, and boy am I going to miss Pam's beautiful kits! Unfortunately my scrapbooking has taken a back seat to my healing process. I am back in therapy, and with the love and support of my husband, sons and my sister's family, I hope to find my pleasure in this delightful hobby return sometime soon. Until then, thank you to those who have supported this blog. I look forward to following your work and treasure my place in this caring online community.

My Creative Scrapbook Reveal - Main Kit

This month's main kit from My Creative Scrapbook features the delightful winter papers from Webster's Pages. Above is Astrid, Ben's fiance with her home city of Bogota in the background.

These gingerbread houses certainly reflect the different personalities of my niece and nephew!
