Christmas Album - 2015 and 2016 - Week 2

At the beginning of the year - I had a challenge going to get everything put together for your Christmas Album!!!  I am not sure if you went through with your final project or not - but like normal - everything creative this year went down the tubes until recently!!!  You can check out the original post here, and start where you need to!!!  
I recently got a new Stampin' Up order in, along with it a couple of awesome Christmas stamps I want to use!  I can't wait to see what I end up creating with this challenge - along with the supplies I have chosen to use!  So far, I have gotten this done from the original challenge in the link above:  

• I am creating a vertical paper bag album - so I am able to put a lot of photos in it, as well as keep the cards we got last year in one place!
• I am using last years' Christmas themed paper pack from Stampin' Up, stamps (also from Stampin' Up), and embellishments from my stash of things!
• I have so far created the cover - and the 6 pages for the inside, ready to embellish and add photos and things to!!!   

I have everything in one place - making it easier for me to simply grab it all when I have a bit of time to create, and putting it aside when I don't!  My time is limited, much like everyone else, so I try to create now when I can, instead of sitting on FB all the time!!  Plus I had a post, which clearly made me see just HOW many projects I have sitting out there "to do"!!!  

Challenge for this week - 

• Look at embellishments that you want to make for the album - can they be done using a paper piecing pattern, stamps, and what you have at home?
• Look at the pages for the album - do you need hidden journaling or other hidden aspects, extra places for photos?  What do you want them to look like?
• Look at card designs you are attracted to - how many will you be sending out to people?  How many different designs will you be needing - or will you do the same design for all?
• Look at gift tags you can make for the presents you give to people, how many of these will you need to have done?  Same as above - do you want different designs, or will you do the same?  

I have a lot of fun ideas to use for the album, cards and the gift tags!  I can't wait to see what I end up creating this week for all of them!  I have some fun Pinterest ideas listed here - now to just go through things - and make them my own!  I hope you will join me this week - and see you next week for even more ideas!  

Until next time,
