Hello December Mini Book and Cards

So tonight is the night - my sip and stamp group is meeting and we are set to have a blast!  Besides the four kits for the Hello Life Project Kit that we'll be doing, I wanted to challenge myself to see what I could do with the leftovers.  Not only did I love these two projects, it helped me be AHEAD for the holidays already.  I can't believe I get to say that!

The first project is a super easy card that uses any of the December cards that you don't use in the album or on the rack.  You just stamp the Joy from Seasonal Snapshot 2015 stamp set and punch out using the 1" Circle Punch.  I mounted it on a dimensional and then put the whole 3 x 4 card on a 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Very Vanilla.

Supplies:

• Cardstock: Very Vanilla scrap
• Ink: Real Red
• Stamp Set: Project Life Seasonal Snapshot 2015
• Accessories: Dimensionals, 1" Circle Punch

The second project is a mini album.  Project Life is all about simple scrapbooking.  It helps you catch up and makes it easy to slide and place the cards and your photos.  Add a little journaling if desired and you are done.  I plan to embellish up some of these cards closer to Christmas when I put in the photos but the album is complete even if that task gets away from me.

The album cover is very simple and flat because I don't want it to tear or fall apart when I store it for the year.  The December to Remember card is accented with basic rhinestones and then layered on two of the red December cards from the kit.  I attached it to the cover using our Tear and Tape, a wonderful product EVERYONE should have!

 

The rest of the pages are just plug and place.  I tried to group them by colors so in some cases I am using both the front and back of the same card and sometimes I inserted two cards.  At the end I put two of the 6 x 8 envelopes to hold photos from Christmas cards and holiday letters.

 

Supplies:

• Hello December 2015 Card Collection, Kraft 6 x 8 Project Life Album, Variety Pack 6 x8  Project Life Page Protectors, 6 x 8 Project Life Envelopes Pages, Basic Rhinestones
