DIY: Santa’s Christmas Interview Mini Album

I really like mini albums and I have seen a ton of really cute examples, but sometimes I struggle to figure out the dimensions and actually get them put together. I also have a tendency to make them and never fill them with photos or journaling. But alas, I’ve found the solution: this Christmas Interview Booklet is The perfect way to save photos and Christmas memories. Better yet, make it a tradition every year with your kids and grandkids. You won’t want to forget!

Ok enough talking, let me show you. Here’s the front cover.

Work of Art is the perfect stamp set for creating pattern.  It has watercolor shapes that are prefect for mixing and matching.  For this simple card, I alternated the circles and hearts in Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush ink.  I topped it off with a tag and Coastal Cabana thick baker’s twine.
