Last year I made a minialbum with some instagram photos and the Maggie Holmes "Confetti". I love that mini with photos and journaling about that time. I wanted to make another on for this year;
This year I used the latest collection by Maggie Homes, how else?
The making of this album is really rather simple, here are the measurements I used:
The pages are about 6*12" and scored at 4" and then just before 4", to make the fold easier.
I made my cover out of chipboard dressed with pretty paper. I made 6 pages, with sewn pockets, out of white cardstock. These are folded and in between the pages I placed a pieces of twin. I pulled out the twin throw two holes in the spine and then tied them.
It´s the first day of December Daily and I have no photo paper... But sens I have decided to "wing it" this year so I take a deep breath and just write down about today. But I still have a few page to show sens I started last week.
Loving how the album is looking and I have just started
I´m still not sure of how I want the title page to be but for now I have a calendar printable from Stitch in timeI don´t know if I´ll jut leave it or fill it in but for now it looks so pretty!
My first-first page is about the first frost. I have an acetate page whit snowflakes over and I love how looks.
The photo is a pocket for the tag whit journaling and I think I have to cut more of those silver glitter doilys. It´s a die from Magnolia.
The second page is a spread of Prima paper and I have adhered paper to the back of them and sewn around. These are about two Christmas markets. The where on the same weekend and I think it works because I haven´t started whit December "daily" jet.
The journaling is on the tag and I think this will be a thing through out the album
Here is a "story" page about a tradition that my mom always do. I really want to include not just myself and what I do but what they do and what they like to do.
The page from 1 advent is a vellum pocket sewn on a text paper and a mat and tag tucked in. Now, this "mat" is the packaging from the Christmas on Market Street Die-cuts.
This photo is real, I mean this is just before breakfast. But I like that you can see just how a Sunday morning looks like, whit a 1 advent candle. The tag, has the journaling, is about advent and what we did that day. Here is the start of December Daily
I know I said that Mondays would be "December"-day but I just can´t wait! November is too grey and I just want more of that Christmas spirit! So here are my album from last year:
The album is a 6x8" black chevron burlap from S@np- Simple Stories whit 1 pack of page protectors and 1 pack of "Insta" pocket pages.
I did this weekly, by Advent and just using pocket pages. I used vintage images from my stash and pinterest. I really like this album but it´s a bit, flat both physically and story wise.
But I had one, the first I made and I finished it in the days after Christmas. (Thinking maybe do hole of December for this year)
