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.

How darling is this mini friendship journal from Diane!? It’s so cute, filled with stamped Teddy Bears and sweet sentiments in it’s own little floral box. She used dies and stamps from Art Impressions to create this sweet little project that would be perfect to send to a friend to brighten their day, you could even include photos and personalized journaling to make it more of a mini scrapbook if you’d like. The box the journal is in was die cut from blue cardstock with an open window on the top and covered in custom “pattern paper” that she stamped and colored with a magnet snap to keep it closed.

She used plaid, striped and polka dot pattern paper to decorate each page, using more blue cardstock for the base of the album. Each page has has either a stamped sentiment or a different sweet bear stamped in sepia ink and water colored with markers on a white die cut panel with pretty detailed edges.
