Here is the stuff I got: multiple Easter and Valentine’s Day stamps, door pulls, 4 t-shirts, bath fizz, and a butterfly EK Success punch. Definently worth checking out especially for stamps and punches if you use them. There is a lot of other stuff that’s supposed to be a penny too but this is what I found at my store.

I had a lot of random colorful beads which were a perfect for this bracelet. I started with a base of larger beads and then began adding the colored fringe. This one is a total of 9 trips back-n-forth adding a fringe between each larger bead. IMG_2959

I am really loving mixed metals right now and different shades of silver/gray beads. It has been great breaking out the cases of beads that usually just sit in the closet but they have become a COMPLETE distraction from finishing up on other projects.

There are spaces and tags labeled 1-25. You can use it to record a memory a day through Christmas (December Daily)or instead of having that daily pressure you can highlight 25 memories in  general. Since everyone celebrates different throughout the holiday season this is a great way to document those memories. This album is available for purchase at my Etsy shop ScrapsbyBrandi. Which now accepts credit cards directly if you don’t have Paypal.

The paper pad I used for this mini album was Christmas from MME. On the front cover I layered paper, stickers, and embellishments. This little black photo frame I had worked perfectly with the theme.

It’s in the details…

Memories 1-4 and the introduction of Baker’s Twine to the album (will be LOTS more!) I just love the stuff!

Memories 5-8. All the numbers that overlap the photo mats are not attached where your photo would go so your photo will easily slide under them.

Memories 9-12.. with more Baker’s Twine, fuzzy brads and rhinestones.

Space for memories 13-16.

Memories 17-20… LOVE this moose paper!

Memories 21-24 complete the inside of the album.

The back cover has a flip up page giving space for your 25th memory.

Back cover with flipped up page.
