Handmake Your Holidays

Today we’re celebrating Handmade Holidays on the Craft Gossip Network! This year, it seems most people, myself included, are committing to to either hand making their ornaments and gifts, or buying handmade items from sources such as Etsy.

I’ve scored the web and come up with a whole bunch of sites that have taken this idea and run with it.

The Go.Be Creative team is running a Handmade for the Holidays Series, including Hanukkah projects!

The team over at Tarisota are posting daily holiday recipes

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.

Visit the Doodlebug blog to learn more about this project and watch a flip through video.
