Santa's Bag Mini Album
I created this mini album for my Swap Partner over on Your Paper Pantry. I created my OWN SHAPE in chipboard and then covered it with quilt batting and red silk fabric. I created a cinch closure to keep the 7" round chipboard pages all nice and snug inside. I Love how this Album turned out and think I will be making some more. I have a friend that I think needs a Santa Bag this Christmas. I have posted the video below so that you can watch a more detailed description. I also have two more Holiday Projects I will post tonight and tomorrow. I just can't get enough of Christmas Projects!
I have been asked to explain how I display MY own Mini's so I thought now was a good time to do that. I just love making mini's!!!! It gives me a sense of completing something. I can usually create one in a day or two depending on how quickly the image pops in my head. I use my mini's as Home Decor Items. I display them for the Holiday they represent and then pack them away with the rest of the ornaments or decorations.
My sweet Hubby Kyle also made me a display coffee table that acts as a horizontal shadow box and I have some of my Family's Favorites displayed under the glass. I have to say that my Children are the main reason I make so many Mini Albums. They love seeing their pictures out and remembering moments we have shared together in a quick and compact sort of way. The mini's can always be handled-They are interactive and are NEVER HANDS OFF-so that makes them even more FUN for kids. Its the kind of thing they like to SHOW OFF to friends or dates. It is so much easier to show a quick mini about a Fun Event or Holiday then to drag out the YEARS worth of Scrapbook Albums chronicaling their lives.
As long as my KIDS like them I will keep making them-they keep us chatting and sharing and every new adventure becomes MINI WORTHY!
