Hello everybody and a very merry early crafter Christmas to you all. Today I am presenting to
you, I have been making these for quite a while, probably six months now, but I've been collecting
all my Christmas items and I've been pulling them together for a Christmas collection for you
so that you can make and get started on your Christmas journals early on,
have all the supplies that you need, and just have a lot of fun.
So one of the main events in this Christmas collection, there is no journal in this
collection, it's a collection of things you can use in your journals to make journals and you
can make quite a few journals with this collection, but one of the most beautiful
elements that everybody will receive is this gorgeous array of 20 plus very special, very
collectible, very historical Christmas postcards. Many of these came out around the turn of the
century and they are very beautiful. Some of them are written on the back with dates and some of
them are blank on the back, it just depends on the one that came through, but they are certainly
lovely. This one for example is from 1911 and there's a mix in each set. Everybody gets 20 plus
and they are just the most stunning gorgeous images. If you're unfamiliar with these,
check these out, possibly on eBay. You can see these ranging anywhere from $2 to $50, $60 depending
on the one. I have not gone through and fielded these, pulled out the good ones, or anything like
that. These are just from a collection and I've amassed these over time and I thought it was time
to do a Christmas collection so that everybody can enjoy the beautiful history and historical
collectible nature in these. So yes, you get 20 plus and that is the first part of the Christmas
collection. All right, I'll just move these aside and then we'll go on to what else you get in this
collection. All right, I had to bribe Holly hugely, okay, to be quiet. All right, so now I have
three digi kits that are all Christmas related things and they're from 2020, 21, and 22. They're
each five pages each, so that gives you 15 pages of beautiful Christmas imagery to use for pockets
or tucks or journal cards or journal tags, decorating your covers, decorating the insides,
inside covers, whatever you like, decorate your envelopes. There are 15 pages total, gorgeous,
different sizes, easy to work with, easy to cut out imagery. These are printed, I printed them out
for you, all three sets on lightweight cardstock. Those are included in the set. So you get three
of the digi kits printed related to Christmas. And next, I thought, what makes me think of
Christmas? Well, Christmas music and Christmas stories. So everybody gets a nice collection of
Christmas music and Christmas stories. And these are all a little bit different but similar on the
same Christmas theme in everybody's set. And there's all different kinds and things here
related to Christmas stories and Christmas music. And let me see how many of those there are. There
are 12 of those in each set. Okay, next we have, hello Holly, he finished his snack apparently.
This is a beautiful collection of Christmas cards. Some of these cards are full cards
or card parts, maybe it's just the front cover because the front cover was very beautiful and
somebody saved it, so I am passing that along in the collection. And they range from antique cards,
vintage cards, newer cards. So this entire collection is going to be old, new, new old stock,
just beautiful things. Some things are written in and other things are not. Obviously the cards
and that will all be different but everybody will have, I'm looking at my thing, 10 Christmas cards
in your set. And the next thing is, well, if you're going to have Christmas cards you have to
have some beautiful Christmas papers to work with. And what I thought is, Christmas paper is so
beautiful to work with in junk journals. Why? Because it's thin, it's easy to work with. Once you get it
cut, thank you Holly, thank you for the extra chatter. I'm sure we're loving that. Yes we are.
I gave you, did I give you cashews? Maybe I didn't give him cashews. Hold on. I already gave him one
cashew. We'll see if that works. I don't know. But anyway, I put a whole bunch in here, lots of
different kinds. There are some duplicates but you're going to get a huge variety in here.
And I think the best thing about this is that they're pre-cut for you so they're easy to work
with. Yeah, so sometimes the hardest thing working with wrapping paper or Christmas paper is that
it's on the big roll, it's difficult, you don't feel like getting the whole roll out just for a
little piece. I went ahead and I cut up a bunch for you so they're all set and ready to go. And
you're going to get at least 15 of those pieces. So here we go. The next section is called the
Vintage Ephemera Unique Pile. So these are little bits and bobs of different things. They're all
going to be different in everybody's section, but it's going to be a little collection.
This one has a stencil, a Christmas bag, a Christmas note page. Hey Holly Bear. And a
little bit of Christmas ephemera in here. Little bits and bobs that you can use in your Christmas
design. And there are 10 plus pieces of that. Okay, and then we're going to have a collection of
holiday colored paper. So there's going to be some red, some green, maybe even some blue.
It just depends on the kit that you get, but you're going to get at least three pieces of
colored paper so that you can use it in your design. Hey Holly Bear. And also there is going to be
a collection of ribbons. That's right. What's Christmas without the ribbons, right? So I put
a collection of at least five, if not more, different kinds of ribbons together in this
roll that will appear in your collection. And you're going to have lots to make trims and little
toppers for journal tags, things like that, that'll give nice little accents to your Christmas pieces.
Okay, and then we have, I made these three, I used the old end papers, fly leaves, the front,
the few front and back book pages, and maybe some even some ledger paper. And I cut them up and I
made a journal card, a journal tag, and a little journal tag with some Christmas themed things on
them. But they're beautiful old papers and they're just wonderful to have and those are fun to add to
any junk journal. There you go. And then we have a beautiful collection of 10, come on out, okay,
Christmas postcards. These are all individual Christmas postcards in the set of 10 and took
me painstakingly forever to pull these out separately and organize them. So we've got at
least 10 of these and, oh, that looks like a duplicate, doesn't it? Okay, I don't know.
But anyway, there's a whole bunch in here, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, okay,
so that was a dupe, that was probably just stuck together. So there are 10 that are different in
each set. Yes, sometimes I can count, sometimes not. I really do my best. Okay, sometimes things
stick together too, you know, you're counting and then you've got like two or three of something
instead of one, that happens a lot. So there you go, you're going to get a set of 10 beautiful
Christmas stamps. And then you're going to get some punch-outs. I had some punch-shaped designs,
or this is like a Christmas bow and a snowflake, things like that that might be fun to add to your
junk journals. And what are you, little guy? I don't know. And also with the thank you,
you're going to find another letter or card attached to that, so that will be included
with your kit. So all in all, all these goodies, let's see, they are now going to be in my Etsy
shop for sale. I have 30 of them, and it's a wonderful collection if you're really into
Christmas and Christmas journals, and you want to get started early, and maybe you haven't been
collecting, or you don't even know where to begin, or this is going to be your year to do Christmas
stuff, I've got you covered. Now, I also have added several bonuses to each pack,
and those will be of surprise, so you're going to receive some surprise gifts in there as well. So
with all that being said, Sunshine, do you have anything to say? I think Holly said everything,
but maybe I would have a, yes, I would like to say a few words, please. Yes. Hello! Yep,
Mom's been working on these like crazy, and she really hopes you like them, and they're full of
all sorts of really fun stuff, so Merry Christmas! Have a fun time, everybody! Happy Christmas!

and interesting papers. These are found in my Etsy shop. I know I have a lot of shops. I'm
working on that. Bear with me. It's a fungal. It's a collection of old, interesting, vintage,
and hand-dyed papers, as well as many other items, 100 plus, and they are wonderful to make all sorts
of eclectic junk journals out of, and I also have vintage digi kits, which are printable downloads,

digi kit names to pamatthepaperoutpost.com. That's my email, or you can message that list to Etsy.
There's an Etsy message place. You can just send that message that way, and just purchase the
print and mail option, and then I will go ahead and print and mail those out to you. Those also
come printed on lightweight card stock. I also have the signature digi kits, which are new.
They are designed to be lighter, paler, softer colored pages that are background pages, great for
collage, but also great for just plain journal pages, signature pages in your journal, and you
can write on them. You can tear them up and use them. You can fold them into many different things,
and I show you lots of different examples. Could you be any twittier? No, no, no. I think you're
missing the high note, boy. Go for it. Okay, it's a life around here, and what else? I think that's
pretty much it, so I'm going to let you go now. I hope I'm wishing you all the best no matter what
you're doing, no matter what, you know, philosophy or spirit or religion. I wish you all happy
holidays with whatever you are celebrating, and merry early happy July Christmas. Craft your
