As you all know by now I love making mini albums. I've always liked traditional 12x12 layouts but I wanted to take a different approach. For my project this week I mad a 12x12 layout book. This book has a chipboard base and then the layouts are inserts as pages in the album. This entire project can be done with one collection kit, the Odds and Ends, Chit Chat and a few sheets of textured cardstock and petite prints. In all the book has three two page layouts and four single page layouts.
I didn't add any photo mats to the cover but you could! I did add a journaling cut apart and items from the Odds and Ends and Chit Chat. I added some Lily White Doodle Twine at the top to "hang" the ornaments.
The front inside cover is fairly simple using the Cupcake Gingham Linen Petite Print and some borders from the collection kit. The journaling cut apart is tucked behind one of the photo mats and can be taken out.
The first single page layout will hold a total of eight photos - the two portrait photo mats are also flaps!
The first double page layout is all about those little gingerbread men. They're peeking out from behind photo mats and they've scattered candy all over the pages!
The next double page layout used just a Ladybug Candy Stripe Sprinkle Petite Print with the white page bases. I've used the train pieces from the Bits and Pieces and replaced the engine with the Santa's on His Way Doodle Pop. On the second page I've used the Playful Pixies and Santa's Elves Doodle Pops to help get the sleigh ready!
The last double page layout uses more of the journaling cut aparts and has some more photo flips. One the first page I've added the little village buildings from the Odds and Ends. The 3 1/2" x 5" photo mats on the second page are put on white flaps to hold more photos.
The next page is another single page layout. I've added a landscape 5" x 7" photo mat and a journaling cut apart. I just love the little Santa wearing the tree hat from the Odds and Ends!
And the last single page layout on the back in side cover has four photo mats and Santa and Mrs. Claus ready to Christmas Day!
And of course I have a full tutorial for you to make your own layout book!
