Portfolio Christmas Album "Joy"

For one last post tonight, "Joy" a 4.5" X  6" portfolio album. Listed in my Etsy shop here

                              

                                                  "Joy" Portfolio Album

The front of this little album has been created using October Afternoon's "Silent Night" Christmas paper and is embelished with a brass closure and a tag tied to the sturdy o-wire binding with vintage seam binding ribbon and a snowman tag tied to the ribbon using red and white striped bakers twine. 

                              
                                                         "Joy" Open

                             

                                            Front , Binding, and Back

                    

                                                    Pages 1 and 2

There is 1 bottom pocket on this page with Santa creating a top pocket and a side strip pocket on top with a tiny booklet that will hold 2 pictures slipped in. Page 2 has 1 bottom pocket created by the sweet skaters with a strip pocket on top of the page which you may clip any little picture or bauble. I added a tiny paper clip after this photo was taken, just to get you started. 

                    

                                                    Pages 2 and 3 

The trees create a bottom pocket on page 3 with a side pocket and the vintage seam binding ribbon creating a side strip pocket on page 4. There is a tiny safety pin holding a 'Joy" tag with room for more tags if you want. and a spiral clip on the bottom.

                    

                                                     Pages 5 and 6

On page 5 there is the backside of the ribbon creating another strip pocket and a doublesided snowman tag being held with that bottom spiral clip and a hanging snowflake connected to a metal "snoeman" tag. Page 6 has a bottom snow people pocket with a little shipping tag with a vintage seam binding ribbon pull.

                   

                                                    Pages 7 and 8 

Both of these pages have cutouts of children with a Christmas tree creating 2 pockets.

                   

                                                     Pages 9 and 10

There is a green strip pocket with a smaller "Dear Santa" strip pocket on page 9 and Santa waving creats a bottom pocket on page 10.

                   

                                                 Pages 11 and 12

Santa and his slay cutouts create 2 bottom pockets on these 2 pages

                   

                                                   Pages 13 and 14

There is a journaling place on page 13 and  a side strip pocket on page 14 with a large doublesided printed postcard tag slipped in.

I must say that the closure for this album turned out to be a bit tricky, the easiest way is to hold the album horizontally with the o-wire binding facing down while pushing down on the button and up through the clasp slipping the cover upward. My dear daughter said I could use her as a model to post a picture of her holding the album in the easiest position for opening. I'll do that tomorrow. Good night, rest well. -Rebecca

A Christmas Album "Jolly Holiday" With Album and Add-On Kits

Hi all! OhMyGosh, fall is here for sure, it's chilly and windy and cool. I hear the east coast is going to be warm this coming week - I hope you all are able to enjoy it, you all had a weird , stormy summer didn't you? Anyway, whether it's cool and wet or warm and sunny - Enjoy!

This completed Christmas album "Jolly Holiday" is the prototype for my "Jolly Holiday" Pocket Pages Album and Add-On kit. It's total measurements are 4.25" wide and 5.75" tall.

It was created using sweet Christmas card-stock from Paper Studio and Bazzil card stock.

All the work is done, and it's ready for all of your fun holiday photos! It will hold, in the least, 28 pictures, with hand cut tags tucked into pockets and a little 6 mat accordion album.

This finished album is in my etsy shop here 

                

                                        Jolly Holiday album cover

There is a cute santa cutout attached to the front forming a pocket with a green double-sided tag tucked behind and a vintage seam binding ribbon on the binding.

               

                                                  Pages 1 and 2

These 2 pages each have 2 side pockets, one of paper lace with 2 tags slipped in.

The front and back of each page create a page pocket with a side opening with a tabbed tag slipped in. There are 4 page pockets in this album with descending page tabs.

               

                                                Pages 3 and 4

Page 3 has 2 bottom pockets embellished with a printed vintage postcard image which also creates a little side pocket. Page 4 also has 2 bottom pockets and they are embellished with a tiny accordian album with 6 mats and a red and white bakers twine tie closure. Both pages have a large tag slipped into the bottom pocket.

                                                     Pages 5 and 6

                                          Jolly Holiday album open

These little "Pocket Pages" album kits are a snap to put together and are perfect for keeping all the photos from those special occasions, such as birthdays, or holidays, special visits from grandma and grandpa or special trips to the zoo or park.

This is the Pocket Pages album kit that is available in my etsy shop here. This is the same kit from which I have created the album above. 

This "Jolly Holiday" Pocket Pages album kit was created from Bazzill card-stock. It holds everything you see in the first photo, which will create a 4.25" X 5.75" album with 4 pocketed pages and 4- 3 7/8" X 5.25" double-sided tabbed tags, including a metal fastener and ribbon for binding, a materials list and step by step instructions.

               

When finished it will look like this

               

and this...

               

This "Jolly Holiday" Add - On kit that was created for the Pocket Pages above, and is listed in my Etsy shop here

               

                                               All the goodies

This kit has pre-cut papers to fit with ease onto the album. Each Add - On kit is packaged in the order that the papers go on each page and the pictures above will give you a visual of each page. I always round my corners and leave about 1/8 th of an inch around the edges showing, if you like that look, you will need to trim the background papers.  The Add - On kit will fit any album that has pages measuring up to 4" X 6".

I haven't offered these little albums for quite some time, but I found this cute stack of papers and realized they would be perfect for one of these. There are a very limited amount available (3) exactly, LOL, but when they run out, I will just subsitute a different Santa image for the front cover. 

Thanks so much for looking, I have just received 2 StoryBooks with a wintery theme - snowman and skaters and plan on getting busy with a couple of journals for Christmas - yeah! Have a great end of week. -rebecca
