Christmas 2011 Decorations & Preparations Look Book
Season’s Greetings… Welcome to our Christmas 2011 Decorations & Preparations Look Book. We hope you find this book a useful tool for your Christmas shoots and pages. Please don’t hesitate to call or email me if there is anything you need, even if you can’t see it here. We will be updating the range many times between now and Christmas itself, so there will always be new things coming in to our warehouse. All the images seen here can be sent to you in a high res format, and most items are available as both lifestyle and cut out. All the high res images, both cut out and lifestyle, can be requested directly from me (suzanne@tch.net), or can be downloaded from our pages on Press Loft (http://www.pressloft.com/browser.php?ccid=611). We also have a very wide range of multiple press samples available for you to borrow immediately, with only a stubborn few still eluding us! So we’re ready and waiting for your request…have fun choosing. This Look Book is divided into three sections for ease of reference: Festive Favourites – This section has all the annual favourites such as wreaths, nativity sets, advent calendars, wrapping ideas and much, much more! Decoration & Dining by Theme – We’ve selected four themes this year: Nordic Red & White; Frosted & Metallic; Eclectic Bright and Vintage. Lifestyle Image Bible – In this last section you can see our lifestyle images at a glance (but be sure to request cut outs if you need them!)
