Design team member Suzanne Sergi created this stunning layout to celebrate a relatively new tradition in her family. Here’s what Suzanne had to say … “I am all about tradition with my family, and sometimes the best traditions, are new ones! Last year, was the first time, my children had seen snow. Living in Southern California, we are spoiled with beautiful weather. However, every once in awhile, I do long for the change of seasons. Last year, my friends convinced me to tread to another city, so the children could have a day of sledding! I was hesitant at first. I love living in my bubble. However, in the end, I am glad they changed my mind! The children had a wonderful day playing in the snow, sledding, and even building their first snowman. We are definitely, making this an annual tradition. We will be going again in a couple of weeks. For this page, I used the Cats & Dogs Collection. The colors and the patterns matched perfectly with my snapshot! The back of Top Dog has a pattern that reminded me of snow, so my main embellishment is a large glittered snowflake! I also dusted the white New Arrival sticker letters with glitter too! I pulled in a flower sticker from the Skipping Along collection, to embellish the center of the snowflake. Love the playfulness of the Cats & Dogs collection, and loved that it captured our new tradition perfectly!”

Design team member LG Belarmino shares a multi-generational tradition on her layout. Here’s what LG had to say … “Ever since I could remember, my parents dressed me up with something red every Christmas eve. According to my mom, this has been passed on from their grandparents. Now that I have a child of my own, I would like to carry on with this holiday tradition with her. With the Tree House collection, I was able to achieve a holiday look by using the classic Christmas colors, red and green.”
