My 25 Days of Christmas Challenge! Day 19

Hi Everyone!

So, back on day 9 I created a page for a mini album that I made for a swap with Krafthead.  Since the swap is over and she has received the album I can show you the pages that were created.  For her album I used Christmas gift bags.  I loved making this album and how it turned out. Here it is.. Keep in mind there are lots of pictures.  This is the cover and the first bag.  The striped piece that you see is actually the first of five extra large tags.

 The back of the bag has been turned into a pocket and can hold as many tags as you desire.  I chose to create 3 tags in each pocket.  I also added one of many folding photo mats.  The one on the left holds 5 phots and tucked behind it is another tag.

The tag on the right has space for 3 photos and the ribbon you see is actually another tag.

Here is the first bag sized tag.  Front and back, it is able to hold four 4x6" photos or two larger photos.

This is the third tag and the back of bag two and front of bag three.

Four photos mats, one journal spot, one blank tag and one fold out tag.  I think this is my favorite section of the album.

The winter wishes tag is the journal spot.  The fold out holds six photos.

For this bag I created a velcro pocket to place, yes, many more tags.

See the two more tags tucked inside the swing out pocket?

The back of page/bag 4 and the front of 5.  Another fold out photo mat for 5 photos.

Close up of the tags.

This is the page that I showed you in my Day 9 challenge

This fold out had the capacity to house a combination of 9 photos and journaling spots

Here is the back of the last album page/bag.  The pocket holds three tags.

Here is a close up of them.  The fold out tag is able to house 6 photo spots.

What I used...
~Recollections Bright and Jolly paper pack
~Making Memories Holiday paper pack
~Recollections white card stock
~Green & black ink pads
~Studio G pigment pink pad
~Fiskars corner punch & embosser

I had such a blast making this album that I purchased more bags to make another one.  Stop by Krafthead's blog too see some more pictures and to see all the fantastic pieces that she makes.

Thanks for coming by to see what the next project was - I really appreciate it!!

So, I will see you on the next project.

My 25 Days of Christmas Challenge! Day 11

Hi Everyone,

My day 11 project is based on a swap that I am hosting on Scraps of Color.  The Shared Christmas Mini Swap consists of 4 groups of 4 people who will create a mini scrapbook page, out of 8x8 chipboard, for each member of the group including themselves. The theme is Christmas and the style - vintage, non/traditional - is up to the designer.  There also had to be a minimum of 2 tags for journaling.  Since I am not just the host but a participant, here are my pages for my group members.
