We have been busy since November working in our Den's, coming up with the purrrrr-fect Christmas decoration to share with all of you. I am so glad that you continued your hunt to my blog! If you just found me while stalking the internet for goodies, please start with Elsa, our Den Mom, and continue on through the hop. You should have come to my den from RJ's den. There are so many things to see, I don't want you to miss any of them! There is a list at the end of the post with the full line up of awesome and talented Pride members that are just waiting for you to arrive!
Here is the cool part...
I had left over papers from the scoring I did, so I made these rosette ornaments.
I adhered snowflakes from Michael's to the front and back, along with rhinestone centers, and used Tim Holtz baubles as little dangles.
But, then as I was sitting with my leftover papers, I spied a bit of "prey" in my paper bin, I pounced, and created a mini album as well!
This mini album is made out of a large paper bag, that measured 16 1/4" x 9 3/4". As I was figuring out a way to turn it into a sort of "day album" I took pictures, and will write up a tutorial shortly. This is the front, using a simple ribbon closure.
The back of the album.
As you open the front flap, the sticker greets you.
Opening the side page you get this. The pink photo mat is a pocket, with a tag behind for journaling. The red flap page has a sticker for journaling mounted so that photos can be tucked behind it.
When you turn the page with the pink mat, you get a blue mat, again with a pocket and tag. The right of the book has two other pockets housing a red and brown tag.
When you flip the red flap up, you get more space with tags and pockets...
...When you flip the lower "Gingerbread Man" flap down you get this. The red page opens...
...and this is the back of the inside of the book!
I got all of this from one bag, a little bit of card stock, and my leftover patterned papers. I did use October Afternoon, Bella Blvd, and a bit of SEI.
That's it for my den...I hope you enjoyed your visit! I will be writing up a tutorial for how I made this book soon, so keep a watchful eye out! Now please hop on over to the next Den and check out what Sherain has made for you!!! Leave some love for us, and let us know what you think!!
ROAR WITH PRIDE!!
