Melissa Frances: Talent Down Under

Although we see an abundance of holiday products in the scrapbook store before the holiday arrives, many of us don't begin to scrapbook our photos until January when we have developed or printed the photos we took on Christmas morning. So we're pleased to share a fabulous set of two stunning holiday layouts designed by Suzanne Tonga from Australia. I think you'll agree that this lady is one talented scrapbooker!

It was my pleasure to open my email this morning and see these layouts there. Suzanne used the Melissa Frances Christmas page kit to create these projects and has graciously agreed to let us share them with our online readers. For those of you who live in or around Nambour, Queensland, Australia, Suzanne will be teaching each of these layouts as a separate class at Daisy Chain Scrapbook Store on Jan 13th and Jan 20.

We wish you every success Suzanne, and thanks again for sharing your creativity with our readers.

We also wanted to share a link to a wonderful article Claire Stewart wrote for Living Creatively, an Australian online crafting community, about Melissa and her breast cancer battle. Thank you Claire!

PS - We always love to see projects that our friends and customers have designed, so please feel welcome to email them anytime to us - who knows, you might just end up featured on the blog (we always ask permission first)!
