I decided to pull out an old tutorial I had stashed away so I could make a quick Christmas Mini Album. I thought this was an easy and fun one when I first tried and I still think it is, therefore I am going to share the tutorials with you just in case you'd like to give it a go.
There's lots of space in this mini so I've taken a few photos just to give you an idea (if you haven't seen it) because it has been out for a while.
Although it only measures 6 x 6 it has lots of space for pockets and photos. You can also easily adjust the spine if you'd want a thicker mini.
I created mine with a half inch spine because I didn't plan on having a lot of embellishments inside and I have about 15-20 photos I want to add to it.
It is perfect for holding those special event photos such as a baby shower or birthday or road trip.
The items I used were the Tim Holtz lamp post die, a memory box doily die, chipboard from the paper collection, WOC flowers, stickles, gesso, a few pearls of course Graphic 45 12 Days of Christmas paper collection.
There are lots of flips and folds so I want to share just a few with you.
When you first open the mini you have your first 3-way layout. I added a pocket for photos and on the side flaps I am showing how you could use them for journaling or another pocket.
Next I skip to the third layout (just to save time and photos).
On this page or layout I added a pocket once again for photos (and yes I do plan to add a mat the black pocket) On the double flaps I decided to keep them together with eyelet closures.
This is the last photo I have of my mini but there are two more layouts in this mini.
Here you can see how it looks with the flaps open and the two center flaps closed down. There is room on each side for more photos and journaling.
So there you have my first Christmas Mini Album this year. I have seen it created by several different crafters with variations but the two individuals whom I have followed are Gloria and Zina.
Leave your comments below and let me know what you think.
Below are links directly to the tutorials as well as a link to Gloria's video. There are printable instructions on Gloria's blog and the photo will take you there.

Although they are very similar there are some differences. I've made them both and was pleased with the results of each. Below are links directly to the tutorials as well as a link to Gloria's video. There are printable instructions on Gloria's blog and the photo will take you there.
