December Guild Kit Now Available

[Debb Cozzi]

We all have treasured memories of Christmas. Whether we cherish the memories of our own childhood, or are busy creating future memories for our children, grandchildren and other family members the holiday season is undoubtedly a "Season of Delight." Our Guild kit this December celebrates this very special time of year with a very versatile kit. It is part whimsy and part city sophistication. Whatever your Christmas memories this kit is sure to be a perfect compliment to your holiday photos. The kit includes 12 backgrounds, more than 60 coordinating elements, an acrylic alpha, a set of holiday word art, a layered template, Ready Made Page (tm) and a photo calendar. Here is a closer look:









The Guild kit is an exclusive benefit of Guild Membership. In addition to the kit Guild Membership also includes our monthly on-line magazine, "The Artisan Notebook." Here is a look at this month's issue:



December evokes powerful memories of our holiday traditions and gift-giving, and this month's issue provides gift ideas and scrapbook page inspiration for our readers. Meet Kay Miller and her creative team as they share their whimsical holiday designs. Digital and hybrid gift ideas for a variety of skilled artists are showcased including Christmas ornaments, calendars, a children's book and a mixed media project.

Our Design Chefs have cooked up another winning "dish" using our Recipe for Design, and our talented creative team inspires us to journal our favorite Christmas traditions in "Just Write." Finish the year with Jen McDougall as she wraps up her Project 365 journey with us. Learn about the fascinating history of Martha Custis Washington, an ancestor of Lifelines author, Susan Reynolds. Red is our focal color in this month's Pigment of Your Imagination, and you'll love the beautiful sketch by ChrissyW along with the inspiration layouts submitted by guest layout artists. Font organization is the topic of this month's Organize U. As always, we have our Hot Trend, Hybrid Corner, Scraplift Tag, Portraits Plus, Inspiration Station, Photography Clinic, Photo Editing with Julie Mead and Happy Ending.

Thank you Thank you Thank you.....for such a perfectly ELEGANT Christmas kit. So rare and refreshing to see something contemporary/sophisticated with this theme (which is usually given over to traditional and/or country). So far, each month has confirmed that I made the right decision by joining. I have to go help my mom today, so will have to wait until tomorrow to dive into the magazine. Cannot WAIT!

Ah Shar what a sweet thing to say! I'm so glad you like the kit! Trying to do "different" with Christmas can be challenging but our team came up with some great ideas I think.

Here are a couple of layouts I created with the kit:

Deb, I am using PSE-8 on Windows 7. As I am trying to put this month's kit from my hard drive into the organizer to tag, only a few of the papers from each kit will load...none of the elements/alphas/etc.

I'm wondering if anyone else is having trouble, or just me. The PSE-8/Windows 7 combo has been giving me grief of one kind or another for several weeks now. Yesterday the organizer was working just fine.

Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thanks.

[Debb Cozzi]

oh, I wish I could help but I use PSCS3 and Windows XP.....anybody else out there that could help Shar with this?

[SharLamb]

Okay, Deb. I just shut down and rebooted. All seems to be well now. Whew (for the moment at least).
