Christmas Project
I finished my Christmas album this weekend. It feels good to have it done! It's really nothing fancy, but the photos were looming over me - and once Christmas was over, I just wasn't in the mood to do anything with them! So I made them into a very simple album that fits into a decorated Maya Road lunchbox tin.
The cardstock, ribbon, stamping ink, and snowflake stamps are from Papertrey Ink. The Papertrey cardstock takes the Cuttlebug embossing so nicely. And the rub-ons are American Crafts.
All I did to create this album was cut the photos down to 4 3/4" x 4" and round the corners. I adhered them to pieces of white cardstock for added stability and punched a hole in the corner of each one. Then I cut several pieces of green cardstock with one of the smaller Scalloped Circle Nestabilities dies, stamped a snowflake on each one, and did a tiny bit of journaling on each circle. I strung everything together on a little chain and that was it. It fits inside the tin perfectly and, best of all, it includes ALL of my Christmas photos from this year. Yeehaw!

i am so glad you are blogging again
how are you doing???
Very cute! I love the idea of using a tin for an album.
I love it Jen! Especially the snowflakes --- I hope you're doing good!!! :0)
This is a great idea, I hope you don't mind if I use it for inspiration? I have had my three oldest boys confirmation photos sitting in a box for so long not being sure what I wanted to do with them. this would be lovely as I did not want to tizz them up too much and take away from the occasion, it's a great timeless idea.
That is soooooo cute!!!
