'Tis the season.....

....or so it seems. Starbucks has already pulled out their holiday cups and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet.

 

I'm already anticipating the holiday madness and preparation. I love it. I started to create a holiday album while I was away last weekend. You can see my supply pile here.
 And it was truly a "pile"! I had a really eclectic mix of stuff that I planned on using! Here's what I have completed so far

The covers

 

The front (not complete, not even close to how I think I want it to look)

 

The back

The inner pages, front & back

 

 

I covered 2 7gypsies cd folders with patterned paper and lined the inside also. I had to be sure to crease the edges well because the cardstock didn't stick at first. 

 

 

 

In retrospect, I should have made a template and just used the patterned paper to make the folders.It took a lot of rubbing with the bone folder and extra adhesive to get the flaps to stick.

 

Here they are completed. They will hold some journaling or some extra photos. I am still scrounging around for product for this album. I recently did a little shopping on 2peas for a friend's birthday. So I took advantage of the free shipping and ordered some of Pink Paislee's Christmas die cuts, stickers and those cool cloth patches. They remind me of the ones my mom ironed on to our pants when we wore holes in the knees!

 

As you can see, there's a nice eclectic mix going into this album. I'm looking forward to working on it some more this weekend.
