Christmas Morning: Oh, how sweet it is! The magic of Christmas morning is something we can all get keyed up about and our pages usually reflect that joy, although sometimes Christmas morning just ain’t what it was supposed to be. For this call, share your memories – the good, the bad and the oh you’ll never be forgiven for that gift! – with us. We can’t wait to see them.

Christmas Song Lyrics: Get your Fa-La-La-La-La on! This call is all about holiday music and it doesn’t matter if it’s on patterned paper, a stamped image, used as a title, or part of clip-art, if it’s singing, it’s fair game.

Color Scheme: Who says Christmas colors have to be traditional? We’re breaking out of the holiday mold and charting new ground with this fabulous color scheme. How will you use it? We want to see, we want to see! Just remember, it has to be Christmas, Chanukkah or New Year’s Eve related. No exceptions, please.

Holiday Traditions: We all have them, but each family is so different and unique that it’s exciting to see pages chock full of holiday traditions, beliefs and customs.

The Reason for the Season (Any Religion): All December holidays, no matter what faith, are in place for a reason and we want to see your pages chock full of the meaning of the holiday you celebrate. Once again, pages with journaling are preferred.

With Lotsa Bling: Glitter, flock, tinsel, embossing powder, paint and more – the delight is in the bling. No matter whether your layouts are shabby and sweet or modern and sophisticated, we’re looking for holiday layouts that are shimmery, shiny and full of life.

Yummy Treats: Prepping, mixing and baking, they’re a part of the holidays just as much as reindeer, snowmen and mistletoe and for this call, we’re looking for layouts that make us drool and wish we could come over to your place. Pages that include recipes – especially downright yummy ones – will get extra special attention!
