Christmas Mini Album - Color Combo Galore 170

Mini Albums always seem like such a great idea until you get about half way through. Then you wonder what you got yourself into. So 20 pages later here it is. I created this for a friend who has been kind enough to let me train with her free of charge. She has no idea what scrapbooking is or about. She is going home to spend Christmas with her family and I thought it would be great for her to create a holiday album with her family. I have included a mini book to get her family to write down a few of their memorable moments for the year.

Color Combos Galore 169

Color Combos Galore Palette 169 was such a stunning palette of colors to work with. I had fun working with these colors. I used glitter as the inspiration from the sparkly baubles. I created the background my going through all of my unused rubons and then I spritzed with Glimmer mist.

The tree was hand stitched with cotton.

My first project is a 12" layout using Kraft cardstock and a some of Basic Greys Eskimo Kisses range.












I used some Kaiser paper scraps for this Card and raised the bird house with foam dots. Other products used are Tim Holtz Cranberry Dimensional Pearls.














This card was also created from scraps, journal tag is from Cosmo Cricket and embellishment was cut from Pink Paisley papers. Stamping and Inking around the edges.






















I made a few tags using my Large Sizzix Scallop Tag and some scraps of pink paisley and Creative Imaginations. I have embellished with ribbon and lace and spritzed with Tattered Angels glimmer mist.

Where did it go?

Okay this week has been super crazy, I can't believe how fast this week has flown by that I'm still wondering where it went. So this week was a little bit of a disappointment as far as getting my LO's complete, however I did catch up with friends and slip in some Christmas shopping so not all was lost. This is the page I completed for The Color Room Palette 34. We did this family picture shoot to send out with our Christmas cards. I'm so glad we did as unfortunately our family dog passed away on Australia Day. He was much loved and is still sadly missed.
