OH WHAT FUN MINI BOOK | with Niella

We've officially hit December! Welcome crafty crew, thanks for popping by today for more inspiration, creative ideas and jolly fun! As we countdown to the most magical time of the year, what are you in the midst of creating? For me, it's handmade mini albums and Christmas Tags. Let's get to it, have a hot cocoa or cup of tea at the ready for my blog post today. Oh What Fun it was to create! And, as usual, my video showcase is at the end! Here you'll see the full album. Three cheers for mini albums!

How sweet are our cover elves! I pulled them from the Doodle-pops! How sweet do they look against a white binding and that doodle twine makes it look like a candy cane spine! I've rounded each corner on my 6x3 mini album! For the whimsical cover, I've used the Merry Magic paper, it's adorable!

Opening up the first page, you'll get a merry welcome from Santa and Mrs. Claus! Hi there sweet faces, thanks for welcoming us in today! Don't you just adore this Twinkle Time paper! There's a fun tuck spot as well, for your sweet notes and mini memorabilia!

Several pages in, we come to a jolly socking page! I loved using these Odds n End ephemera pieces here. You can fold back the stockings to spread out your pages! Isn't that fun! Add all your fave traditions & a note or two. And how darling is the pink patterned paper Cookies & Candy? It's totally delicious isn't it friend?

Over the page we go to another trio of cuteness! Are you feeling jolly yet? I am! The mini jewels added to the Christmas Tree adds dimension and sparkle! I love that you can just grab several packs of different colors and stick them on. I've scalloped the edge on the cardstock as well, to give another added texture. The Oh What Fun coordinating cardstock pack is always a favorite because it's already perfectly matched to the whole collection.

Another page over, is the beautiful and glowing page with the twinkle lights I've pulled from the Shape Sprinkles pack; Christmas Lights! how fitting they are. That Christmas Eve word banner sticker from the This & That cardstock 12x12 sticker sheet is a fave! Another idea is to string some Doodle twine and adhere the sprinkles onto that for a fun festive feel!

How sweet do all the tabs look I've cut from the scraps I've saved from my Oh What Fun projects thus far! I bet you save your scraps as well! Saves having to cut into bigger sheets, right! To make your own tabs, just fold a small piece of square paper and corner them. Adhere to the outer page and add on a word sticker. These are from the This & That sticker sheet and some from the 6x8 paper pad.

The back of my 6x3 mini album is decorated as well! The red mini polka dot paper is the Here Comes Santa paper alongside the ladybug and bubblegum cardstock. And of course, I use the DBD brand on all my projects. Nothing goes to waste! And here is my video showcase with all the magical pages!
