Mini Christmas Book

Hello Bloggers

This is a great gift idea for Christmas.

Plenty of space for pics, notes, comments from guests as well as the menu

There is no fancy binding. The front & back cover use chip that is 6.25"; the pages are vanilla cardstock 6"square; the distress ink is frayed burlap

Front cover uses a piece from S116 - The Musical Christmas Collection

 Since the mini packs papers are 145mm square they are perfect for 6" pages. The note to Dear Santa is foam mounted; the list for Santa is rolled & attached at the side; half of a Christmas vine is tucked under the Dear Santa note & a key hung from the vintage trinket knob. 

Inside the front cover & page 1

 The mini book uses the Correspondence Collection mini pack for its base papers.  The coloured Santas are from Vintage Christmas Santas ATC047 & are the perfect size for this book. The other half of the Christmas vine is used here along with 2 vintage filigree trinkets. Plenty of room on the left for tags & pics

pages 2 & 3

 There are pockets on both pages.  The collage images used here are from Old Fashioned Christmas on Green #3293.  I added a red organdy ribbon here to allow a bow on the front for decoration & also to highlight the hanging embellishment - 2 jingle bells & a message bottle containing a secret note to Santa.

pages 3 & 4

 More pockets again - page 3  used the Correspondence Collection with a tag inside the torn paper.  The right hand side has a pocket using a paper from the Musical Christmas Collection mini pack

page 5

This page has a magnet closure & opens up using the lock

inside page 5

 Open up the left side & across the inside of page 5 are 3 pages with pockets:  These 2 pages are made from a 12x6" cardstock

Moment in Time by Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here again and this time I am going to share my new Meg's Garden Printer's tray made with Gentlemen collection, but as totally non- masculine project.
I always try to maximize my craft  supplies. Living in Israel makes the shopping  and shipping kind of Mission Impossible and for this reason I try to  buy the most versatile products to make the possibilities to use them  wider.
So Meg's Garden Gentlemen collection was the one I would never buy. But then I 've got it and  was amazed by the options and the hidden potential of those most gorgeous papers!
This Printer's tray was made with this collection- the strips only- and it's suitable for both genders and even looks a bit feminine with some butterflies and flowers arranged inside the tray.

I cut the strips and the single 12*12'' paper to fit the tray windows (lets say that I made it with no measure system; it was time consuming, but after all this is a big project that should be time consuming).
Each piece of paper was distressed and inked with a dark blue ink. In some windows I added extra tags and even covered then with Frames transparencies.I made some stamping with Vintage collage stamps, such as " Yesterday" or " Moment in time" sayings. Then I added a flow of transparent hand cut butterflies , some clocks and a hot air balloon. Almost 100% of embellishments can be found in Meg's Garden shop (see the list below).

 The only big  product added here are 2 big chipboards, one made as a title ; both are heat embossed with
blue, gold and black powders. I added 2 " found" pieces: one wooden button and one piece of old jewelry. I really like this vintage look of the tray and hope you like it too.
