So far I've done 2 albums: 1 for Terri (the other half of Craftyx2) and one for my sister. Everything was from my stash, and I can now report that I'm out of Christmas embellishments.
Terri's album. I went with more traditional red, green, and brown for her album. I left the cover blank for her to add her own title, and I need to track down a set of Bind-it-All clear 8x8 covers, since Hobby Lobby seems to have stopped selling them.
I like the peekaboo aspect of mini albums, so in past albums I've trimmed down pages and used border punches. This year I decided to do something different, so I kept all the foundation pages as 8x8 and added in extras, mostly 6x6ers and some like these, BoBunny cut outs mounted on cardstock to make tag pockets. For Terri's albums, I let her decide on her own page numbers.
More inserts and library pockets for journaling.
For her album, I used Basic Grey, BoBunny, American Crafts, DCWV, Recollections, Simple Stories and Imaginisce paper and misc. embellishements.
My sister's album is more cutesy, since she has a baby girl turning 1 in December. I left the title blank so she could pick her own title. The felt tree is a Christmas ornament from Target.
Foundation pages are all 8x8, with some 6x6 extras mixed in. On 6 of the pages, I used Doodlebug 4x6 journal cards as tag pockets to hold journaling or more photos.
The birthday page layout. The snowman is actually a lunch bag sized goody bag trimmed down and turned into a tall pocket for extra photos and journaling. The backside is covered in pastel-y ledger paper for more writing area.
Since they are Disney fans, I used the Cricut Mickey Font cartridge for the numbers. The tags are from a couple bucket o'tags in the Target Christmas section.
Papers used in her album are Doodlebug, Jillibean Soup, We R Memory Keepers, K & Co., Making Memories, Bella Blvd, and Recollections.
Now I just need to make my December Daily. :)
