I received a note in the mail from Debbie, owner of psp connection and she wrote a super tutorial for her group to do after they had finished doing the santa journal tag for a challenge.

Debbie was kind enough to allow me to share the link to her tutorial with you. The tutorial animates the Santa Journal Tag with puzzle pieces!
