Themes, layouts and inspirations
I love this rustic yet modern take on an Advent Calendar. it has lots of impact, without taking up a lot of space. The best part is it’s free! You can get the printable envelopes over at The Lovely Drawer. Make a change from the grocery store calendars with icky chocolate, and whip this one up for your family. If you were thinking of doing an activity type calendar this year, this would be just perfect for it.
Andrea used the Fun Times collection from Simple Stories to create this fabulous mini Travel Tag album. She even found a cute tiny plastic suitcase to fit it inside of, decorating the outside with a few chipboard elements and a scalloped border.
The album itself has different siezd and shaped pages, some rectangle, some tag shaped, some with scalloped edges but all stitched around the edges. It’s held together at the top with a metal “O” ring.
The pages have 3″ x 2 1/2″ photos that are accented with metal buttons, vintage cameras, floral and map papers, chipboard embellishments, tabs, labels and travel related designs in fun retro color combinations.
She’s even included some fun interactive pages too for a really cool tiny but mighty album design.
