6x6 Merry Christmas Mini Album

The 6x6 Mini Album is a great project when you have some left over papers.  The chip board center is from a cereal box. I paper pieced the front of the album to get the tree and Merry Christmas where I wanted them.  I then added a little bit of lace under Merry Christmas to help hide one of my cuts.

The photo mats are cut from the Accent Essentials at 4 1/8" from blue cardstock.  I inked around the edges with VersaMagic Aegean Blue.

I punched the bird from a scrap of blue cardstock and inked around all the pieces. The ornament is also punched from a scrap of off white cardstock.  Instead of using a stamp as a the decoration on the ornament I used a piece of decorated tape.   I have pop up dots behind the bird, wings and ornaments.

From a scrap of red  cardstock I punched the Swirling Lace.  To finish off I used a piece of blue pom pom ribbon and Stampin' Up 1/2" ribbon stitched poly. 

Thanks for stopping by.
