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.

Niella used the Color Me Crafty collection from Doodlebug to create this adorable crafty themed mini album. The cover and each page are shaped like giant tickets and there’s a disc binding on the edges and fun dangling charm hanging on the spine. The cover has a cute stack of Polaroids accent and a layered scalloped border with button pattern paper.

Inside she used more crafty pattern papers, embellishments, stickers, cardstock, puffy words and more to designs wonderful pages that have lots of room for crafty photos and journaling.

There’s even a pocket to tuck in mementos and ephemera. I love the color scheme of this collection, it’s so bright and cheerful! This little album project is perfect for all your memories of going to scrapbooking classes, crops, conventions, retreats, hanging out crafting with friends or pics of your craft room.
