GINGERBREAD KISSES WATERFALL MINI ALBUM | With Traci

Hello everyone! Traci here and today, I'm sharing a new Christmas mini album I made with the adorable Gingerbread Kisses Collection. This one was SO FUN!! I filled it with tons of cute embellishments ... lots and lots of little enamel shape sprinkles! They're my favorite and there are so many good ones!!

To start, I used a Lori Whitlock cutting file to cut the shape of the mini album out of white card stock, then covered the pages with 12x12 and 6x6 papers. On the cover (top page), I added the Christmas Memories sticker from the This & That sheet. It made the perfect little title for my album and if you look closely, I added 2 candy cane sprinkles and a tiny gem to it. So cute!

Inside, the first page has a 2x3 inch envelope that's perfect for a little note or photo. I covered it in the Gingerbread Kisses paper and for the flap - I used 1/2 of a punched 3" scallop circle cut from the Hello Santa paper. Then, I added the little gingerbread sticker from the This & That sheet.

I used a small circle of velcro to keep the envelope secure and inside, I added a little card covered in the Cookies For Santa sprinkle print.

Here, I used the 6x6 Sugarplums print in the background and added a photo mat, a clip board for journaling (from the Bits & Pieces), the gingerbread die cut from the Odds & Ends, and a few more fabulous sprinkles.

This page is so sweet. The tiny pink hearts are the 6x6 Berry Floral print. It looks really cute with the string lights (Deck the Halls) paper. The gingerbread is from the Odds & Ends and I'm loving her pink bow!

This collection has so many cute candies and cookies. I added two fun die cuts to this page, then for even MORE cuteness ... I added a bunch of the Peppermint Place enamel sprinkles to one of them! Love it.

Doodlebug gave us lots of great embellishments to highlight our holiday photos. The pieces above are perfect for an afternoon of "baking cookies". And did you see I added a few more shape sprinkles to the cookie tray? How cute is that?!!

On this page, I made a pocket with a 3x4 inch Happy Holidays card from the 12x12 Gift Wrap paper. I tucked 4 little tags from the Bits & Pieces inside. These could be used for Christmas lists, small photos, or journaling.

In addition to single images, there are also die cut pieces that look like fun little scenes. I clustered two on this page and filled the bottom space with cuteness.

I hope this mini album gives you some creative ideas. The Gingerbread Kisses Collection makes it so easy and fun to create amazing albums, cards, gift tags, etc. Happy crafting, my friends!
