Reason for The Season Blog Hop

Welcome to the "Reason For the Season" blog hop. We're happy to have you all here with us today to celebrate the reason for the season. Each blogger will have their own interpretation of their reason for the season, and I hope that you find loads of creative inspiration along the way.

Hello! I'm SOOO excited you're here! This is my first blog hop and I'm anxious to show you my project. I used cut files from Scraptastical Kreations (KISS Christmas & Ornaments) along with a Bugaboo Digital Stamp. My kids are certainly MY "Reason for the Season" and I'm sharing with you a mini-album I made of my own design featuring their Christmas portraits!
This is the front cover
of my album.

This is the back cover.


This is the first page opened to reveal the pictures.
Here is the album opened yet another page....

Here it is opened some more.....

And opened more....
 
Here's a close up of one of the inner pages.

Here's a close up shot.

Here's some of the photos on the back side.

Here's a view of how the album folds up....lots of room for pictures!

And another view from the top.

Here's the page that features the Bugaboo Digital Stamp Image - the nutcracker! I colored it with  Copic markers.

Here's the album totally opened.....

And here is the other side of the totally opened album.

Thank you so much for stopping by.....I hope you enjoyed seeing my project. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Seaons Greetings and Happy New Year!!


Now it's time for you to head on over to Jens Blog Life Scrapbooked!
