new christmas album "jinglebell christmas"

here are 2 new albums that i have listed in my etsy shop for christmas, i'm working on some christmas kits for albums, collage or journals too, i just have to take some photos, maybe i will get them listed this weekend, i hope, i hope!

anyway, the first little album is created with a vintage (1920 something i think) greeting card that was perfect for a matchbook album:

                                   

"jingleBell Christmas" is the name of this 3.5" X 5.5" matchbook album. originally a vintage greeting card, i have added  5- 118lb. card-stock pages using vintage buttons, vintage christmas postcard images as photo pockets and the always sweet, daisy d's christmas papers to make this a special christmas album.

                                   

the 4 vintage buttons are sewn through the 5 layers of papers to re-purpose this vintage card in to an album that you can keep or give as a gift, filled with special holiday photos.each page measures 3.5" X 4.25".

                                

the back of each page has a photo mat created from "Flair Designs christmas collection.

                                 

                                  
                                     

                                      

the last page with santa contemplating the list has 2 little pockets. you may slip your photos behind the book and behind santa himself.

                                  

are these photos wonderful? can't you see a family taking the time to cut out these photos and placing them on this card? the greeting itself is slipped into little slits.
