Christmas Mini Scrapbook Album with Book Binding Signatures

Desiree’s mini Christmas album created with the Simple Stories Vintage Believe collection is full of Holiday Wonder! There’s a gingham red cover decorated with the large round title and clusters of lovely winter botanicals and a scattering of stars, it’s all tied closed with gold ribbon.

Inside she’s create two separate “signatures”, which in book binding terms means a stack of nested and sewn or stapled together bundles of folded papers. They slip through the thread she’s added on the inside binding so they can be moved or removed or more can be easily added later.

Inside the pages are decorated with vintage images in traditional Christmas colors with loads of papers, embellishments, rub-ons and stickers in plaids, Poinsettia, Holly, Christmas trees and vintage ledger papers and postcards.

I was a teen in the 80’s so this totally rad Boombox shaped mini album from Traci really speaks to me! She created a rectangle shaped black acrylic album with rounded corners, adding buttons and a handle on the top with a cover decorated to look like a real boombox with speakers, a tape deck, buttons and more. She used the Totally 80’s collection of products from Simple Stories that has lots of bright pink and teal colors with cool 80’s inspired patterns like black and white check and colorful graphics. There’s also load of fun embellishments like a Walkman, high top sneakers, retro TV, camera, hair spray can and more.

I had huge hair in the 80’s and am embarrassed to admit how much Aquanet hair spray I used!

Traci has included her totally tubular signature flaps and pockets in the album too for some radical interactive elements too.
