Hello Dear Blog Friends
My new Bind-It-All arrived this week (yay!) and so I was able to complete a mini-album about our Christmas up north.
Inspired by Susie McGuire at Creative Cafe, this mini will be given as a thank-you gift for my daughter and son-in-law, whose cottage we invade every Christmas. Their cottage is located in very beautiful countryside in the midst of trees and lakes, so I kept to an outdoors-y and woods-y theme.
For the most part, I used the Winter Wonderland papers from Recollections. The papers were just perfect for my woodland theme.
Two tags slide in underneath the deer; on the back there is space for a photo and some journalling. You can also see two sideways tags which pull out for more journalling.
A long policy envelope (L) and two photo flip books (R).
Many of the Winter Wonderland papers have gorgeous photographic images - above you can see the beautiful sled image on the front of the envelope.
And on the back, a nice place to record the names of all the friends and family who visited. Inside the envelope is a long tag with space for some private journalling.
Each flip book holds four wallet-size photos. Here are two interior shots of this cozy and elegant getaway place. We always feel so lucky to spend time here!
To keep this post from being too long, I'll do a second post tomorrow with the final pages.
Meanwhile, I want to wish everyone all the best for a happy and healthy 2012. This must surely have been the fastest year ever - it just seemed to whoosh by. Thanks to each and every person who stopped by, and for taking the time to leave your sweet and encouraging comments. Paper and ink are two of my creative passions, but truly it is the connections between us all which really matter.
Many blessings, and Happy New Year,
Love your mini Fran. Happy New Years!
