- Christmas Scrapping, Hassle-Free
So this year, in an attempt to jumpstart my scrapbooking, I’m participating in Ali Edwards’ December Daily event. For December Daily, you do all of your preparation ahead of time. This would allow you to document the Christmas season without having to stress out over layouts.
