I used all sorts of items from my stash. But here is the best account I could put together of the various materials I used.
- Paper - Anna Griffin's Calisto Christmas Paper Pack
- Glimmer Mist - Gumdrop
- Tim Holtz Inks - Fired Brick, Pine Needle and Vintage Photo
- Tim Hotz Pins and Charms
- Cricut Cartridges for Ornaments - Paper Trimmings and Christmas
- Cinch Machine and Coiled Binding Wire
- My Stash - doily, flowers. leaves, fibers, tags, buttons, stamps, mini clothes pin
Here's a closeup of the cover. I used a doily that I spritzed with Glimmer Mist for my base and then started to pile on the goodies from there. I am pleased with the way it came togehter. It looks camera ready! : )
Let's get inside to the pages.
Even though this was going to be a mini album, I wanted to put a lot of real estate in it for Ema to put her pictures from the season. So I decided to make the pages fold out pages.
Page 2 - this page has an ornament I cut from the Paper Trimmings cartridge. I added a gold button for the finishing accent.
Page 3- This page got a pocket for a vintage tag to collect all those memories. These kinds of spaces will become important in years to come when you look back at this mini.
Page 4- I put an orment on this page that was cut from the Christmas cartridge. I left the right side loose so a picture could be slid under it.
Page 5- Another tag to jot down the feelings of the season. The older I get, the more important these things are. The spirit and the feelings are what make the moments special!
Page 6- Another cute little tag for memories to be kept. I left space for a picture as well.
That's it for this mini. I think Ema loved it from what she said on her post. I certainly enjoyed making it for her. Until next time...
Smooches!

Robin, this mini is beautiful!!! I love all of the details! You are an awesome Secret Santa!
ReplyDeleteI do love it! It is sitting on a table in my craft room so I can see it through out the day. :) I can't wait to get some pictures printed up so I can use it. I had to go back and look for one of the pockets you pointed out. I had not seen that one! Thank you so much for such a thoughtful, wonderful gift! :)
