New Years Eve 2018 Project Christmas Card Book

Welcome to my project for Country Craft Creations New Years Eve Online Crop on Facebook! This is a tutorial on how to make a Christmas Card book using your cards that you have received. You can combine several years or divide them up the way you want. I've use chipboard and Artisan Cardstock from Country Craft Creations and a Simple Stories Christmas paper collection from several years ago to create my book this year. I hope you each have a wonderful New Year, thank you so much for watching and subscribing to my channel. Be sure to check out the online store for your crafting supplies at http::www.countrycraftcreations.com Happy New Year & Happy Crafting! Sandy
