Hello everyone, I have a card to share using products from the recent SCT Holiday 2026 event.

Firstly, this event was not purely for card making, but I was intrigued by the ‘Holiday Circle Album’ class by Virginia Nebel. This is meant to be a memory creation, adding photographs to certain parts of the album – which is something I never do. I do not create memory albums or scrapbooking pages, so this was really out of my comfort zone.

Here are pictures of the finished project – not my own design, not my own layouts – but the effect is quite sweet. This was my first attempt, and it requires a little tweaking – but I like how it turned out – I may even go so far as to print some photos and add them:

So the card I made was using some of the papers and ephemera from the kit – and just letting things flow:

As the album was created by cutting 10.25 inch circles from the 12×12 papers, I had some leftovers, and used some of them for the background, adding pieces and parts to cover the white card base.

I then chose some other items from the kit, including the red chip board frame, and the white circle sentiment added with 3D foam. The poinsettia is acetate, also from the kit and had a sticky back, and the enamel dots were added on the white sentiment.

I actually had fun putting the album together, then playing with the pieces – though there are absolutely loads more to be used. I have them out on my desk still, and may play a little more before putting them away…..
