Echo Park ‘Tis the Season–Anna’s

Don’t you love how the Christmas paper ranges come out in October? I am super prepared for my December Daily this year with the gorgeous range of Echo Park Tis The Season Papers. I have pre-prepared my album ready to go… using the fabulous Echo Park Tis The Season Papers and Echo Park Tis The Season Access. This album measures 6.5” x 4.5” and is designed with 3”x4” photos in mind. The pages have all been decorated in advance so that recording the daily Christmas countdown is a breeze.
