OH WHAT FUN HEART SHAPED MINI ALBUM | with Traci

Hello crafty friends! Traci here and today I'm sharing my new Merry Christmas Scrapbook designed with the adorable Oh What Fun Collection and my clear Acrylic Heart Shaped Album. This mini is so cute for holiday photos and would make a super special Christmas gift for someone you love! ❤️

Oh my goodness ... look at this cover. Doodlebug is just the cutest! To make it, I chose the 12x12 All Spruced Up plaid for the background, then added some colorful presents from the Odds & Ends on top. Next, I punched a 3.5" scalloped circle out of lily white card stock and layered the Santa circle die cut on top. It's from the Chit Chat. Then for a little holiday sparkle, I added some glitter enamel dots to the gifts and the Merry Christmas banner.

Inside, I covered each page in a different 12x12 pattern paper, photo mats, and more adorable embellies. Above, is one of my favorite prints called Cookies and Candy. I just love the cupcake pink color and the little gingerbread men!

The wreath and the "Santa Season" are both die cuts from the Bits & Pieces. If you look closely at the wreath, you'll see a pink star on the bow ... it's from the Christmas Eve shape sprinkles. I also added some ornaments with glitter enamel dots. Beautiful!

I covered this page in the other side of the All Spruced Up paper that's filled with colorful trees. Then, I created a photo mat using a 3.5" scallop circle and 3" circle punch by Marvy Uchida. The "sweet" little gingerbread is from the Bits & Pieces and the word bubble is from the Chit Chat.

Ohhhh, I love the string lights on this page! I used the 12x12 Snow What Fun paper in the background and created another photo mat. Then, I found 2 little red birds in the Odds & Ends that were perfect for holding up the lights from the Chit Chat. I added the enamel Christmas Lights shape sprinkles on top of each bulb, and now they're ready for the holiday!

No Christmas album would be complete without Santa and Mrs. Claus. To highlight them, I added the subtle polka dot pattern in the background called Here Comes Santa. Then, I added the cute couple from the Odds & Ends and another photo mat.

Doodlebug incorporated the fabulous bubble blue color into this collection and I am here for it! Just look how cute this 12x12 Christmas Eve paper is with its little winter snowflakes. It's so beautiful next to the flowers, holly leaves, and berries.

Also, did you notice the shiny snowflakes above? They're die cuts from the Odds & Ends and I added enamel sprinkles from the Snow What Fun shape sprinkles on top. They glisten!

This collection has such gorgeous colors and fun Christmas images. It's perfect for all your holiday papercrafts whether you make cards, scrapbook layouts, or mini albums like me! These products are sure to make you feel all the happy holiday vibes!

I hope my Merry Christmas Heart Shaped Mini Album inspires you to create something special with the Oh What Fun Collection. To see other fun projects I made with it, visit my Truck Shaped Mini Album or my 12x12 Oh What Fun Layout. Thanks for hopping on the blog. Have a great day and happy scrappin'!
