Hello there crafty friends! Enza here to share a mini album featuring the gorgeous Merry Days collection. My goal for this mini was to document our traditions and most memorable moments from last December; I picked a few of my favorite photos and went to town with all the pretty papers and embellishments.
I opted for a ring mini album, as I wanted to have the flexibility to add to it if I wanted to. I also love the clean straight edges and the size of it, measuring 4.25x6 inches. One thing that the pages have in common is the stitching details – this simple step brings so much texture and interest to the album!
Here are the main supplies I used:
I created three pockets to hold memorabilia, hidden journaling, or more photos. I simply trimmed the paper to measure 7x6 inches and folded one side over, making sure to leave enough space to add a scalloped edge and a few other embellishments. Again, the top and bottom portion of the pockets were stitched in place.
Layering is always a favorite when it comes to decorating my pages. I try to combine different textures and dimensional elements, such as die cuts, chipboard stickers, and puffy stickers; the super cute fabric buttons are so fun and perfect to add a special and unexpected touch – they scream Christmas to me with their vintage, homemade feel.
The paper clips in this collection are also a must have – beautiful colors and cute shapes are always a win in my book. I used them to secure extra papers and photos within the pockets.
Thank you so much for joining me today! I had a lot of fun putting this December mini album together, and hope you feel inspired to create one of your own! Happy crafting!
