December 12, 2011I love christmas! It’s the most delightful time of the year.
The Christmas kits are all absoltuely adorable, but I am partial to Holiday Twinkle. I was a paper scrapper for many, many years before I found digi scrapping. Even though I have been digi scrapping for more than 7 years now, I still enjoy paper scrapping and crafting. Merging paper with digital is just the best! Thank you for this lovely opportunity to check out your new site – it’s so much fun.

December 12, 2011I do both paper an digi and I have had my eye on Holiday Twinkle by Danielle Thompson that you have above. I am just getting into digi and have been loving everything I see. It makes choices so hard!! This new digi (for me) thing is so much fun to figure out. I’ve been learning a lot and enjoying it. Trying to document December digitally this year. Thanks so much.
askings
December 12, 2011Its so great to meet other paper+digi scrappers! Good luck with your December Daily!
Kimberly Kalil
December 12, 2011I’m usually not much of a themed scrapper, but I do love all the Christmas products. I really love a digi kit Baers Garten did called Feeling.
I’m a digi scrapper, though I occasionally do some paper projects.
askings
December 12, 2011Thanks for stopping by Kim and thx for sharing this kit–so cute!
Cherylle Waters

Lydia
December 12, 2011Not sure I have one favourite Christmas collection this year. Loving some of the Echo Park Seasons line, the rich reds of My Mind’s Eye Lost and Found Christmas, and the softer colours of Lily Bee’s Jingle collection.
I’m a paper scrapper, although I do dabble with hybrid sometimes. Love feeling the paper in my hands.

Deanna Wauhob
December 12, 2011I like the Crate Paper’s Peppermint although I have never used it. I am a paper scrapper for the last 2 years and am mostly happy just cutting paper and making it into my pages – not too good at copying layouts – I start out doing that and end up with my own creation which is sometimes rather primitive. Love to see new things, though!
askings
December 12, 2011Thanks for stopping by Deanna–good luck to you
Debbie Hodge

December 12, 2011How fun Amy, and congratulations on your new adventure!
The holiday kits above are so versatile, but I absolutely adore Anna Aspnes Artplay Palette Sophistica.
It’s so elegant and makes your photos into a work of art.
I’m a pure digital scrapper, my husband will not survive the mess in our house when I do paper

askings
December 12, 2011I know what you mean about the feel of paper–its why I haven’t been able to go all digi! But if you ever decide to give digi a try there will be plenty of us here to root you on

Jessica
December 12, 2011Congrats on your blog launch
What a great selection of Christmas kits! I already have the Danielle Young Holiday Twinkle kit and absolutely LOVE it!!!
Jessica
December 12, 2011Oh, I forgot to say … (Sorry) … that I am both a paper and a digi scrapper. I tend to do more altered items with paper and my scrapbook layouts in digi … but you may have already known that!
askings
December 12, 2011I find this is where I stand lately too–digi layouts and paper projects and minis. Great of you to stop by Jessica
Ana Smith
December 12, 2011Love the colors in HolidayTwinkle and I’m proud to say I’m a paper scrapper.
askings
December 12, 2011I love the colors too–slightly unconventional yet fun. Thanks for stopping by!
Catherine Brown
December 12, 2011I just found you a few weeks ago. I love this site. I have to say that I love Holiday Style. The papers and everything looks like it is really from the past and I love that. I am a paper scrapper only.
askings
December 12, 2011Why thanks Catherine…I’m so glad you’re here! And that is exactly what I love so much about Holiday Style too! Good luck in the drawing!
Wanda
December 13, 2011Hi, Amy–I’m here via Jana Morton’s blog, and I’m so happy to have found your site. It looks like it will be great fun!
I’m a digital scrapper. I took a brief tour of the paper scrapping world but once I discovered I could do what I wanted on the computer, I was hooked.
My current favorite digital Christmas kit is “Discombobulated” by Teresa Loman at Digital Scrapbook Place (https://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_18&products_id=13836&zenid=878024e7dfa4779d41238cca245013f1). I like it because most of the kit items can also be used for non-holiday layouts.
askings
December 13, 2011Hi there Wanda! It was great of you to stop by! I think Jana is pretty fabulous! I also think this cute little digi kit is pretty fabulous as well–I love the way the pieces work together in such a unique way!
Kathy
December 13, 2011Your new site looks wonderful. I will be visiting often.
I am a digital scrapper. Never paper scrapped. I love all the unique things you can do in the digital world.
My favourite holiday kit this year would be the new Retro Holiday by Anna Aspnes …. loving the aqua.
askings
December 13, 2011Ohhh I love that kit too–just picked it up last night! Thanks for stopping by Kathy–I look forward to seeing you around
Amy Jo
December 13, 2011Love the Kris Kringle by SEI! I’m a paper scrapbooker… I tried digital, but I didn’t enjoy it as much.
