Here’s the January 2025 Scrapbooking Workshop. Marbled Elegance is an online only exclusive release. The paper is beautiful. I had a suggestion, when doing a live, that this would be good as Christmas paper. If you added Garden Green and/or Shaded Spruce, it will be pretty.

Marbled Elegance Suite – https://www.stampinup.com/categories/shop-products/featured-products/product-suites/marbled-elegance

When you purchase $25 or more of Marbled Elegance products, you can get this guide for free. You’ll be able to create 6 layouts (12 pages). The guide includes a print and cut file for Cricut Design Space. I added in some Glimmer Paper from the Festive Glimmer pack when I ran out of the Cherry Cobbler ribbon. I think it looks really nice. Let me know what you think.
