Hi everyone! So Thanksgiving is over and it's time to start thinking about the Christmas holidays! It's always a good idea to have extra gifts on hand for those unexpected visitors or hostesses. One of my favorites to give is a holiday themed mini scrapbook that anyone would love to receive!
This little beauty was made with a tag die and the adorable 'Merry & Bright' paper collection from Simple Stories! I love this collections' classic color scheme and cheerful images- super sweet and perfect for a Christmas gift! I used the patterned papers to die cut two chipboard covers and six pages for the inside.
The chipboard covers have two different patterns on either side and the pages are two different papers adhered together for more strength. I created an accordion folded insert to hold the album together out of another piece of the pretty paper and scored it in one half inch increments.Each of the pages and covers were adhered to this before being hole punched and tied together with homey twine.
I love chunky mini books and with all of the cute embellishments of this collection it was super easy to add lots of layers and dimension to every page. There were stickers galore and chipboard as well as my faves, the bits & pieces and this collection also had a set of tags & frames that were perfectly sized for this mini!. Here are a few of my favorite pages inside the album!
One of the pages is covered with a vellum envelope which is filled with a tag. This creates a fun interactive element (and more room for fun pictures) to the album! There is also a fold up element on one of the pages too! Just because an album is tiny doesn't mean it can't hold a lot!
Head on over to my YouTube channel where you can see this album in detail along with some pointers on how I made it! There is also a video link below! Enjoy!
