Christmas Album - Part 2

Here's the remaining pages of the Christmas album I've been working on...

Again, this shaped album uses a variety of manufacturers' stickers, die cuts, papers (cardstock and patterned), ribbon, rhinestones etc.

Here's a couple pages with less "traditional" colors:

I'm so excited to have this finished so I can add my photos!

Christmas in February

I have been working on this Christmas Album since Thanksgiving...that's when my sister graciously organized, cut and assembled these albums for our family get together.  I have been slowly finishing the pages and am now ready to add pictures!  Over the next couple days, I'm going to show you the album pages...


This is the front of the book and below is the 1st page.

Here are pages 3 and 4:

I hand pieced the Christmas tree on the right side of the page.  This uses a variety of cardstock, designer and patterned papers, stickers, die cuts, ribbons, buttons, brads, and rhinestones from lots of different manufacturers.  Here is a closer shot of the tree:

And here is a closer shot of the christmas cookie pages:

What do you think?  I'll show you the rest of the pages tomorrow

Christmas Album - Take 2

For another teacher, I handmade this album:

Again, this album was made with the Simply Scrappin' Kit Jingle from Stampin' Up! and features the colors real red, very vanilla, old olive and chocolate chip.

Here's the backside:

This was a project featured on Dawn Raspas' U Stamp with Dawn and Friends that I tweaked to suit my needs.

This album was easy to assemble and decorate using the patterned papers and adhesive die cuts that are included in the kit.

There's plenty of space for pictures and journaling...

And here's the last page...

I hope she enjoys placing her pictures of her precious family into the album.  I love giving (and receiving) homemade gifts.

Christmas Jingle Album

This is one of the albums I made for teacher presents.  This used pieces I had left over from the Simply Scrappin' Jingle Kit from Stampin' Up!

Colors were real red, very vanilla, old olive and chocolate chip.
Here's a few of the inner pages (I won't show you them all)

I left lots of blank areas for adding additional pictures, artwork or journaling.

Here's the back cover:

the album ties closed with old olive ribbon.  This came together fairly quickly, just using scraps and leftovers I had from other projects.

More christmas presents will be showcased soon, keep watching :)

Merry Christmas

These are the christmas cards I sent out this year - 80 or so in all!  I did use a variety of cardstock colors (from traditional christmas green to red, maroon, and even a sage and light green) along with different coordinating patterned paper.

The gingerbread man stamp is from Paper Trey Ink and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up!  I was quite proud of figuring out this "fancy fold" all by myself.  Here is the card opening....

And finally, on the inside, the picture of my cuties!!  I was late sending these out this year because we were delayed in getting the kids' pictures taken.  I did have several different poses that I placed in the various cards, along with the annual Christmas Letter that my husband writes - it's a hoot!
