I'm still here! | Holidaily Scrapbooking

Oh, hello! I’m still here! Sorry we’ve been MIA for a while now...just haven’t been doing so great - my CRPS has been real bad lately, in a lot, a lot of pain, and, so, stuck in bed a lot and haven’t been able to do much since I am trying not to move most days, as even slight movements have been tough. I was doing better the other day a bit and did get to do some scrapbooking with Ry and our puppy Pastel, and that was lovely, so here are some pics of us all working together to try and get some more done in my Holidaily album.

Huuugs, everyone!!! Hope you are well!!! And stay hopeful! I know 2020 was hard and 2021 is not getting off to a great start, but we all just need to hang in there! Anyhow, I do have some more posts coming soon! So stay tuned!

"The Merriest" Collection Full Reveal and Launch!!!

Hello, everyone!!! Today I get to share with you all the full reveal of our newest Christmas collection, "The Merriest"! I super duper love this collection!!! And I think you will, too!!! It's filled with the merriest things so as to help you celebrate the holidays! Yes, the holiday season is different this year and so I wanted to create a collection that reflected that, but which also expressed hope and joy for this holiday season. Subsequently, I created a collection that focused on lots of the little things that make us merry while staying at home. I was also inspired by the song, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" because it talks about making your Christmas-time merry despite difficulties like being apart from those you love. The song was written like this for wartime, but it really applies to our circumstances today too, with Covid. It speaks of muddling through, but also expresses being merry for all the beautiful blessings that one does have during the holiday season...and it also talks about hope for a brighter Christmas future. I was very inspired by this sort of mentality and the idea that we can always make our Christmas merry even in difficult times by focusing on the little joys that bring us happiness as well as the bright and magical things that this season represents. I also included, in this collection, direct references to a covid Christmas (these can be found in the add on pages), such as Christmas masks and 3x4 cards that say things like "m is for merry and for mask". I know this Christmas-time is very different this year for all of us, but there is no reason why we cant still be merry...in fact, let's make this Christmas the merriest that we possibly can!!!

First let's take a look at the patterned paper in this collection.

For "The Merriest," I created a really cute, modern-but-also-vintage-inspired, Christmas, color scheme consisting of pinks, mints, light yellow, some pretty blues, and a touch of aqua, alongside the more traditional red and green. And I definitely wasn't stingy on the pink...I love a pink Christmas, don't you? Anyhow, with the patterns themselves, I tried to incorporate a number of fun, Christmas-at-home, comfy, cozy themes like a cute, Christmas sweater, a nice, warm cup of hot cocoa, Holiday music, snowflakes and a snowman, some sweet little pets, the decorated tree, presents, and, of course, quaint little Christmas houses. Plus there is so much more Christmas adorableness to love in "The Merriest", including a super jolly, dancing Santa Clause, a very happy and cute Rudolph, and more! And I decided to make a special Christmas rainbow for this collection because rainbows are symbols of happiness and hope and I definitely think we can use more of both those things right now!

Alright, now that we have gone over the patterned papers in general, let's take a closer look at each 12x12 patterned page individually. First, we have "The Merriest" -- yes, it is a 12x12 page named after the collection itself. And it is aptly named as it includes a number of the cute holiday images that can be found throughout the collection. In fact, it is kinda like a visual summary of the collection, with words, imagery and themes that embody "The Merriest" as a whole! I love it!!! And on the back we have a simple but elegant red pattern that is reminiscent of a Christmas star or snowflake.

Next we have "Hi, I'm Rudolph!" This is an adorable 12x12 with Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer on the front, frolicking across a light pink background. He looks very vintage and cute like a 50s/60s illustration of Rudolph. And along with his traditional red nose, he also has a strand of Christmas lights strung from antler to antler, and he seems very happy about it. On the back there is a beautiful Christmas rainbow shining brightly atop a deep forest green background.

Our next 12x12 patterned page is called, "Let's Make it Jolly." It is definitely one of my favorites in the collection, and it includes images such as our cute, little Rudolph, dancing Santa, our vintage record player, some snow flakes and candy canes, Christmas pennants, a fun little kitty, and a familiar-looking puppy who may or may not be named Pastel. Lol! And on the back there is a cool aqua geometric pattern.

This next patterned paper is called, "Hurray for December!" On the front is a really fun and vibrant collection of vintage-looking, Christmas pennants. They say things like, "Winter," "Believe," "Merry Christmas," "December," etc. And on the back is a really cute, pink and green plaid that I super love!

Here we have "Frolicking Around the Christmas Tree." This 12x12 paper is so ridiculously cute. It has lots of different animals all getting together for Christmas around the tree with lots of presents and decorations, in their Christmas best, just having a great time. I love the little fox on the sled, the pretty Christmas pony, the cat carrying the present, the elegant reindeer, the funny, fuzzy bear, and, of course, the super incredible, adorable, and amazing, little puppy, who seems to be hopping about with an ornament on her nose. And on the back is a really fun, multi-colored snowflake pattern that I know you're going to love, too!

The next 12x12 patterned paper is called, "The ABC's of Christmastime." This is also one of my absolute favorites in the collection. I love the multi-colored alphas - they're so beautiful. And I love all the images in-between the alphas, like the snow globe, the reindeer, the stocking, the gingerbread man, Santa's happy face, and more. On the back, we have a bold, red and white stripe, which is so cool.

"Holiday Countdown" is the next 12x12, and it is exactly what it sounds like. It's a countdown of the month of December. Every day is a different color and a different Christmas-y word. And it's perfect to cut apart to use for a Christmas advent calendar, a holidaily, a December Daily, a December documented, etc. On the back is a really gorgeous, painted pattern that has reds, pinks, whites, mints, and greens creating sort of an ombre effect.

This next 12x12 is called "Noel, Noel..." And it's a cutapart sheet. This cutapart sheet has 3x4s, 2x2s, and other sizes as well. I love the little rainbow 3x4 that says, "The Merriest." And all the different colored 2x2s, especially the cute little Christmas house one and the peppermint one. On the back we have a Christmas ribbon pattern, and these ribbons look like the vintage kind that you would win for best in show or a horse race, or a pie-making contest. They're super cute, and I love them!

Next we have, "It's the Holiday Season." This is also a cutapart sheet, and is one of my favorite pages in the collection, for sure. It includes lots of labels and tickets, which I can't wait to use, and the cutest, little, vintage-looking cards (like playing cards) that have cute Christmas-y things on them, like Rudolph, the gingerbread man, and a very sweet, vintage, A-frame Christmas house. On the back is a super vibrant and fun, multicolored stripe that reminds me of a fun, Christmas, candy cane.

Now let's take a look at the add-on papers. There are four add-on papers for this collection, which you can add on when you order any of the kit options. The first add-on paper is called "Holly, Jolly, Merry, and Bright." It is a wonderful pattern that is reminiscent of a fair isle sweater that one would wear for Christmastime. I love the bright colors and the lovely script words across the bottom. And on the back is a beautiful pattern with gingerbread men, hot cocoa, a cute Christmas cupcake, candy canes, peppermints, and the word "yum." It's a pattern of sweet Christmas treats, and I just want to eat it up.

This next add-on 12x12 patterned page is called, "Let it Snow...Man!" It is a very pretty, pink patterned paper with a cute little snowman and a flurry of snowflakes all around him. And on the back is a very cool print that says "fa la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaah." I love it - it's so much fun, and so silly.

The next add-on paper is called, "Time to Put Your Christmas Mask On," and it is very specifically themed to Christmas 2020 and our current Covid situation. The masks say Christmas-y things like "Ho Ho Ho" and "Jolly" and inspire us to make this Christmas the merriest, despite our current circumstances. And on the back is a lovely green on green geometric pattern.

The last add-on paper is called, "Stay at Home...For the Holidays," and it is also Covid-Christmas-themed. On the front we have 3x4 and 4x6 cards - one of my favorites is the "Stay at home for the holidays" card with the cute Christmas house on the front of it. Another favorite is "M is for Merry...and for Mask." But my absolute favorite has to be the Santa card which states "Santa says, Don't be Naughty, Wear Your Mask."

And finally, I would like to look at the two specialty paper options that come in this collection. The first is called, "Season's Greetings," and it is a scenic view of a lovely and quaint little snow-covered village up in the mountains. Santa is overhead with his reindeer, snow covers the ground along with cute little pine trees, there are lots of sweet little vintage houses, and a church, and, as you can see, there are no people outside, only animals, because all the people are social distancing and staying at home with their families this Christmas. A couple of cars are on the road to pick up groceries for the family Christmas meal, and, of course, a lovely Christmas tree. On the back is a lovely, red and green, Christmas floral.

Now, while the first specialty paper depicts what Christmas looks like this year, in 2020, I made the second specialty paper to depict a scene that I'm hoping will represent our Christmas future (i.e. next year, and going forward). It's a Christmas where we can all gather together again for one big Christmas party with all our friends and family. I absolutely love this page, and I hope you do. I think it's super duper cute, with all the little people in their Christmas best celebrating the holidays in this super cute Christmas house. And on the back, we have a pattern of all those adorable people, and I absolutely love that, too. For each kit you can choose between the first or second specialty paper, and whichever one you choose will come with a sequin mix that matches the collection. (Or you can buy them both, if you like.)

Now let's look at the embellishments that are in "The Merriest". I love the embellishments in this collection. First, let's look at the glitter foam stickers that come in "The Merriest." These glitter foam stickers are way cute, and come in both red and pink glitter foam words and shapes. The pack includes words such as "Merry Christmas," "Naughty," "Nice," "Merry and Bright," etc, and shapes such as a little Christmas present, a snowflake, and a Christmas tree.

The next embellishment to look at is our flair button set. In this pack you will receive seven flair buttons, and they're all adorable. Some of my favorites are the little Christmas rainbow, the little reindeer, and the hot cup of cocoa.

Now let's look at our ephemera pack. The ephemera packs that we make for each collection are always really special and very popular, and I think you can see why. I love this ephemera pack. Everything in it is way cute, but some of my favorites include the cute little Christmas houses, the Christmas pennants, the little Christmas camera, and all the little Christmas animals. I also really love the Christmas rainbow and all the beautiful snowflakes.

Next we have our sticker sheet. The sticker sheet in this collection is a little different than sticker sheets we've done before, as these are clear-backed as opposed to white. I love the way the clear stickers look when you put them on your pages and tags and cards, etc. I especially love the clear word stickers that say things like "Home for the Holidays!" Very cute!

And finally we have a set of acrylic shapes in this collection. I love these acrylic shapes. They're definitely one of the favorite embellishments in the collection, and they include stars, gingerbread men, snowflakes, and little trees. And they come in colors of red, white, mint, and sparkly silver!!!

Now let's move on the planner pages. These are our 6 x 8 1/4 and 4 x 7 pages that we refer to as planner pages, but they also work great as mini album pages, as framed art pieces, banner pieces, and more.

Our first planner page features a really cute snowman (somehow surprised by all the snow falling around him) with “Let it Snow” in fun script below him. And on the back is a vintage-inspired graphic with the text of “jingle all the way.”

Our next planner page has our cute Christmas rainbow on the front and a very useful blank calendar on the back, with the two drawn versions of us (Andrea and Ryan) around the Christmas tree. Happy Holidays!

Next, we have a planner page featuring our dancing Santa on the front, and on the back, appropriately, is a really cute, vintage, pink record player.

Next, we have our first “storybook” planner page. This one features the house from our “Christmas Future” specialty 12x12 with the story of the gathering written our below it. And on the back is the text from that Christmas classic, “Have yourself a merry little Christmas.”

Next we have another vintage-graphic-inspired page with the sentiment “Have a holly jolly day!” On the back is an awesome sentiment, and the page features all of the cute characters in the collection

Our last planner page has our super cute Rudolph on the front, and our other “storybook” scene on the back, featuring our snowy, mountain village, and Santa and his reindeer flying through in the background.

Oh, almost forgot...here are the add-on journaling pages! They are super duper cute and so useful for documenting the holiday season in any kind of daily album you are creating for Christmastime or December. I absolutely love them! Perfect for your holiday journaling needs!

Alright, that is it for our new collection, "The Merriest". You can subscribe to get your kit, or order here now! Obviously some of you already know everything that is in it since the pre-orders and subscriber orders went out a little while ago. However, now anyone who didn't get the collection yet, can see it in all its beauty and can make their purchase, yaaaaay! I am sorry that the full reveal and regular order option for this collection is coming so late in the holiday season. All I can say is that I am doing very, very badly right now with my CRPS condition. I have spoken about this on instagram and so I wont go into it too much here....but when I say that this collection was made through screams, sweat, and tears...well, that is absolutely the truth. It was a difficult thing, trying to get a Christmas collection out this year. Sometimes it is quite hard for me to get these products designed and manufactured for you. Ryan and I do it all ourselves. And this time was especially hard. However, we won’t stop. We won’t quit. We keep on creating because we love what we do and we know you all love it so much too! And that makes it so worth it!!! I want to thank everyone for their kindness and compassion and patience during this particularly rough time. And I also want to thank all those who sent prayers and happy thoughts and kind words while I have been struggling. Thank you so much!!! I think Christmas this year is rough for all of us...and I really hope that this collection offers to you all a bit of hope and brightness! I hope it helps you document your holidays in a way that is joyful and that it reminds you to make your days “The Merriest” that you possibly can!!! Huuuugs everyone!!! And Happy Holidays!!!!

"December Dreams" Collection Full Reveal!!!

Hello there everyone! It is Andrea here and today I am super excited to share with you the full reveal of our newest collection, "December Dreams"! This beautiful Christmas collection is inspired by the new The Nutcracker and the Four Realms movie by Disney, as well as the classic The Nutcracker fairytale ballet! The Nutcracker is a classic Christmas tale that is filled with magic and wonder! Subsequently, I just had to create a collection for you that was filled with that same kind of magic and wonder! To accomplish this, I worked to design patterns and images that I hoped would convey not only the central story of The Nutcracker but also images and patterns that reflect the main characters and, of course, the magical and imaginative lands that can be found in the fairytale. In "December Dreams" you will find fantastic, whimsical beings like the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Nutcracker, of course! You will also find lots of sweet goodies in this collection, like gingerbread men and houses, lollipops, peppermints, etc, which are all indicative of one of the four realms, the Land of Sweets! The other magical lands, or realms, in The Nutcracker are also included in the collection in various ways. For example, you will find lots of snowflakes in patterns as well as embellishments to represent the Land of Snowflakes. I really want "December Dreams" to feel like that same kind of winter wonderland that can be found in The Nutcracker...something so incredible that it must be from a dream! I am so happy to be able to share this collection with you! I think you are going to love it! I know I do!

Alright, now that I have talked a tiny bit about the inspiration for this collection, I want to go over the patterned paper that comes in "December Dreams" with you. First, let's look at the color scheme that is in the papers/collection. The colors in this collection include the classic Christmas colors of red and green, but I have also added in some other very pretty and happy colors like light pinks, some light and dark aquas, and even a little bit of lavender...all to create a cool, retro vibe.

The patterned papers in “December Dreams” are really beautiful and magical, and they tell the classic story of The Nutcracker. And, as I go over each patterned paper with you, you’ll probably be able to see how the story comes to life in this collection and why I love it so much. So, for this first pattern, entitled “Land of Snowflakes,” we have a bold aqua on white snowflake pattern on the front and a lovely and large red scallop on the back. Both have a “modern meets retro” feel about them, and they express the happy and whimsical nature of the Land of Snowflakes.

This next paper is called “Clara” after the main character in The Nutcracker ballet. She is a young and beautiful girl who embarks on a dreamlike adventure in a new and amazing world at Christmas time. With this paper I wanted to convey the elegance and sweet innocence of the young lady that is Clara. For the front I created a beautiful black and white pattern of two swans. Both the black and white swans are princesses, wear lovely crowns, and are symbolic of royalty. Since Clara is the rightful ruler of the four realms (as her mother created the realms in Disney’s new version of the story), I thought this would be appropriate. On the back you will find a simple but elegant and pretty pink on pink geometric pattern that I also feel fits well with the girlishness of Clara.

Our next patterned paper is “O Christmas Tree.” On the front of this paper we have a super cute Christmas tree pattern. The tree itself is trimmed with lots of pretty ornaments and other decorations such as candy canes, with of course the traditional star atop it. I chose to do this Christmas tree pattern to represent the large tree that grows at the beginning of the traditional Nutcracker ballet. On the back of the paper I chose to do a sweet, little reindeer pattern. I love and collect deer (especially vintage ones, and especially at Christmas time), and I just felt that the addition of some deer in this Christmas collection was a necessity. I mean, who doesn’t like deer?!

For this next paper, which I have named "The Nutcracker" (for fairly obvious reasons), we have a plethora of Nutcrackers standing at attention in a row, all lined up and ready to serve their duty in the fight against the Rat King...or Mother Ginger as the case may be...depending on which version of The Nutcracker you are watching, the classic, or Disney's new retelling. Either way, this pattern has a whole lot of handsome Nutcrackers all in a row! I love the look of them! And on the back there is a cool, retro looking blue on blue pattern, which is very versatile and useful.

“Land of Sweets” is our next patterned paper, and it’s one of my favorites in this collection! I love all the cute little gingerbread men! In addition to the gingerbread men, there are lollipops and peppermints, and this fun and happy pattern just perfectly conveys the silly and whimsical feeling that can be found in the land of sweets. On the back is a super useful ledger that is perfect for any Christmas time journaling that you might want to do.

This next patterned paper is called “Sugar Plum Fairy.” It’s an explosion of candy and confetti and color, and it is meant to represent the ethereal exuberance of one of my favorite characters in The Nutcracker, the Sugar Plum Fairy herself. On the back we have a retro diamond pattern in a pink, red, and purple color scheme, which is also reminiscent of the Sugar Plum Fairy - her sweetness, her effervescence, and her bold but ladylike demeanor.

Here we have “December Dreams,” named for the collection. I wanted to do a patterned paper that was a December calendar for several reasons. A calendar like this is so incredibly useful and versatile because you can use it for so many Christmas-time crafts! It is perfect to use to make an advent calendar (to countdown the days to Christmas), perfect to use for your December planner (to mark your plans for the holidays), and also, of course, perfect to use for your December Daily (to document the days of December in a special, keepsake scrapbook). Whether you cut the paper up into squares, or leave it all in one piece, this patterned paper is so cute and so perfect to create with! I have also included a few fun little squares with images from the lands of sweets and snowflakes on them, as well as a christmas message. Plus, as a fun and special added detail to this December calendar paper, each calendar day square has a little word at the bottom, all of which are words of the season! On the back of the paper you will find a fun, retro, mid-century modern diamond pattern in aqua. I love the aqua blue and white color-scheme and the light and airy feeling that it has to it. It kind of reminds me of snow falling.

This next patterned paper is called "Land of Flowers," and it is a very pretty and sweet little vintage floral print on the front and a cute and simple little pink on red, vintage pattern on the back. Both sides are very girly and feel like patterns that you might find on some old, vintage, fat-quarter fabric that your grandma would use to make a comfy quilt. Or, at least, that is what they remind me of! Either that or maybe some fabric your grandma used to make you a sweet little dress? The point is, they have a very lovely, vintage fabric feel to them, something you might find among grandma's fabric collection, and I absolutely love that about this paper! This patterned paper is simple, but oh so versatile, and definitely one of my faves!

Now let’s look at the cutapart sheets. Our first cutapart is called “The Fourth Realm.” In this cutapart, we have several different sizes of cute, cutapart goodies. We have several 3x4 cards, several 2x2 cards, some awesome tags and labels, plus more! There’s so much to love about this cutapart sheet, but some of my favorite pieces are the sweet, little, gingerbread man, my beautiful and magical Sugar Plum Fairy, the elegant swan, the mysterious owl, and the adorable gingerbread house. On the back of the cutapart sheet we have a pretty red on white bow pattern that I am in love with as well.

The next cutapart is called, “Key to the Kingdom,” and it has mainly 3x4 cards on it. There are lots of cool, decorative 3x4 cards on this cutapart sheet, such as the “Merry Christmas” card, the sweet, little cupcake, my adorable “tree-cup,” and my check list for the season. However, this paper is named for the pattern on the back, which has the golden key to the Four Realms on it. So cool!

Alright, now that we have looked at all of the beautiful, patterned papers in this collection, let’s now talk about the awesome embellishments that come in "December Dreams." First, let's start with our ephemera pack. We always do an ephemera pack for our collections/kits because I absolutely love ephemera, and obviously so do all of you because our ephemera packs are super popular and our best sellers...yay! And I think our ephemera packs are so loved because they just always have so many super cute and useful pieces inside them. We fill our packs with as many die cut pieces as possible. We really have fun creating these ephemera packs for you and creating lots of adorable little pieces that you can use to embellish your paper crafting projects, and so of course this time was no different. I filled the ephemera pack for “December Dreams” up with lots of beautiful imagery from The Nutcracker that I thought helped to convey the magic of not just that fairytale, but of Christmas itself. There are a lot of really cute and, of course, vintage inspired and whimsical pieces in this pack. Some of my favorites include my Sugar Plum Fairy ballerina, my various sweets and gingerbread men, my Merry sign with the wreath around it, the gingerbread house, the Nutcracker and Nutcracker poster, and so many more pieces!

Now let’s talk about one of my other favorite embellishments in this collection. Once again we decided to do flair. I always love doing flair in our collections/kits because they are so cute, and they add dimension to your papercrafting projects. The flair in “December Dreams” are all way cute, but I think my favorites are the snowflake and the “Joy!”

This next embellishment in our “December Dreams” collection is our decorative paperclips. These paperclips are fuzzy and adorable, and they come in a few different Christmas colors that match perfectly with the colors in our collection. They are great to use as a statement piece on your project or layout and absolutely perfect for planners, mini albums, and December daily’s to highlight or mark your spot on specific pages.

Now I want to talk to you about a really fun new embellishment that we’ve decided to do for our “December Dreams” collection. I wanted to try something different, so I decided to create our “variety pack.” I had the idea to put together a grouping of various items that I thought helped to convey the fairytale story that the collection was inspired by. In the case of “December Dreams,” I put together very specific and iconic pieces for The Nutcracker inspiration. So, included in this pack you will find things such as various snowflakes and Clara’s golden key to the Four Realms, as well as other goodies. I’m so excited about our new “variety pack.” The concept is really fun and cool, the pieces in the pack add a lot of dimension and texture to your papercrafting projects, and I’m excited to do different ones in the future that will depend on what the collection is.

Alright, now that we have looked at all the amazing embellishments and patterned papers in "December Dreams," let's now look at our glorious Planner pages! I love these Planner pages, they are sooooo cute! And they are perfect for so many papercrafting projects...in addition to of course being perfect as your planner dividers! These pages come in both 6x8 and 4x7 sizes and they work great not only for ringed planners and Traveler's Notebooks, but also for other papercrafting things like cards, banners, and mini-albums, and they are great for framing and decorating with, too! Plus, if you are creating a December Daily this year, or any such December/Christmas documented album, these pages are absolutely ideal! I myself like to create what I refer to as a "Holidaily" each year at this time to document each day of the holiday season, and I love using our decorative 6x8 planner pages for that project because they are perfect for it!

View fullsize

Let’s now take a look at each of the planner pages individually. First we have our Christmas tree planner page. This cute, retro tree has a bit of a shabby chic look to it, and it’s so pretty, with all the little peppermints and lollipops on it!

This planner page has our gorgeous Sugar Plum Fairy on it. As you can see, I was inspired by the Sugar Plum Fairy in the new Disney version, played by Keira Knightley. I love her big, pink cotton candy hair, and her multi-ruffled dress. I did take some liberties though, adding in ballet shoes and, of course, wings…’cause what is a fairy without her wings!?!?

This next planner page has our majestic Nutcracker on it. He is the hero of the classic Nutcracker ballet story, and so I had to include him as a main staple of our collection, and to feature him on one of our planner pages. Doesn’t he look so handsome!?!

This planner page is one of my favorites. I absolutely love this super adorable gingerbread house. It is too cute for words, with its blue icing and pink doors. I just want to eat it up!

This swan planner page is also a big favorite of mine. These two swans are just too pretty, and I love the border with the crossed keys, too.

This Christmas quote planner page is a good reminder of what this season is all about.

Here we have our gingerbread man planner page! I love this one, too! I love his cute, little face, and his bow tie, and his hearts that he has on his hands and feet. I’m not sure whether to eat him or to give him a big hug!

This “Merry and Bright” quote on this planner page is in a lovely, cursive, brush script, and it just makes me smile.

This next planner page has my sweet, little deer on it. She’s super cute with her blue eyes and her pink bow!

And this last planner page is in the classic red and white for Christmas time, and it just says “DEC” on it, for December. It would be the perfect front dashboard for your December planner, or it would also be perfect for the front page for your December Daily/December Documented mini-album.

And, finally, we have our transparency for this collection. We decided to do a cool, double-sided, metallic-foiled transparency for “December Dreams.” On the front you have a elegant, golden foil on our key to the Four Realms, and on the back, a traditional, Christmas red. Yay!!
