WOW its November and I have some exciting news!!!
I have joined the Mini Album Mania design team. I am so excited to be on this team and to share with you my albums. I hope to give you some ideas and inspiration.
Here is a little info about the Mini Album Mania Challenge - Mini Album Mania is a mini album challenge blog and all types of handmade mini albums are welcomed. Since the albums should be "mini", the size should be no more than 6" on any side, must have at least three pages (the more the merrier) and must be embellished/decorated. Photos are optional. The album can have any kind of binding such as rings, wire, ribbon, staples, glued tabs, etc. Or accordion or flap type with no binding. Just remember they must have at least three pages. No blank undecorated albums. This Mini Album Mania challenge runs November 1 thru December 15.
I love making albums and the one I am sharing with you today is one of my fav's and it's perfect for the upcoming holiday season. This album was hard to photograph so I apologize for the pic's, I wish they were better.
My album is 6"X6" which is my favorite size to make.
This album has 6 pages and the way the pages are designed and folded, each page is like a Z. So there are really more that 6 page surfaces. Each page has one 6"X6" surface front and back and two 3"X6" surfaces front and back. There are many pullouts and if you see ribbons in the pics, that means there is a pullout in that spot. So, there is plenty of room for photos and journaling.
Let me share with you my album

Can you just imagine all the Christmas/holiday photos and journaling you can add to this album. Family fun, kids opening up Santa's presents, oh the ideas are endless, LOL.
In making this album I used various stamps and die cuts and a few 3-d nutcracker stickers. The designer papers were from a few different companies and worked great together. I even found lurking in my stash, some decorative brads that were perfect for this album. The ribbon is a sheer Christmas green ribbon.
Hope you enjoyed the photos and got some ideas.
Thanks for stopping in and I hope to see you soon
