Aimee's Tag Flip Mini Album

Happy New Year! Aimee here, and today I have a super cute little mini album for you.

I can’t resist a mini album! And when I saw the 12x12 “Key to the Kingdom” and “The Fourth Realm” Papers from the “December Dreams” kit I knew I was going to make a mini!

The point of my mini is just to highlight some of the magical moments from the Christmas Season. Plus, I love to print photos with my Instax Share Printer. These little minis are a great way to use those photos.

I started by cutting up the 12x12 papers into the 3x4 cards. I then paired each 3x4 card with a bookmark tag.

I laid out all the 3x4 cards with the bookmark tags. I printed my photos and placed them on the tag of choice. I then embellished each photo and bookmark tag with die cuts and little bits and pieces. I dated my photos with a date roller stamp. I also love using my tiny stapler to attach things, it’s the perfect scale.

I choose one of the cards to be the cover and embellished it. I bedazzled all my 3x4 cards with stickles {glitter glue} to make them POP!

The pom pom paper clips are great for extra embellishing. I actually cut the back of the pom pom off so it would sit flush when the album is laying down. I also stapled it to the cover so it was secure. Don’t forget the Key to the Kingdom, I added a spilt ring to the key so it could be a charm

For reals, this is the easiest project! The whole album only took me an hour to create assemble {minus the dry time for the stickles}!

Do you enjoy creating mini albums?

XOXO Aimee

Kellie's 6x8 "December Dreams" Layout

Hi all, Kellie here with you again this month to share a layout I created using the NEW kit, December Dreams, it really is dreamy! I normally only really do layouts in the size of 6x8, which is exactly what this layout is. Instax photos also happen to be my favourite when doing layouts, but that's not to say I don't scrap normal photos from time to time. Let me tell you about it.

I've used a instax photo from a snap chat photo my girls sent me almost 3 years ago now, boy how times go on by! After I decided on the photo it was time to get busy. I like to layer, or clutter, depending on how you look at it, then have open space. I don't know why, but it's always the look I generally go for. This layout came together so easily, and I really feel it's because when you love to work with something it makes it so much easier.

I love all the pinks and soft blues in this kit, with hints of red. It all matches in so perfectly and makes working on a layout so much fun.

Aimee's "December Dreams" Layout

Hi there, Aimee here! Hope you are having a wonderful Monday, lol. Today I’m sharing a layout using “December Dreams.”

While I was out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday, my husband and I drove around and found some fun places to take photos. We came across this half-decorated tree, and I was all, “husband STOP this is a perfect photo opp!”

So, with fashionable style we took photos with a half decorated tree with a tub full of ornaments behind us. I highly recommend learning how to use the timer on your camera and have a tripod handy. I took some pretty awesome photos this way.

Keeping it simple as always I used my go to 8.5 x 11 white cardstock for my base. I cut a piece of “Oh Christmas Tree” just smaller than my cardstock. I layered my photo on one of the A5 dashboards, and cut it down to mat my photo.

I used 3-d foam to pop my matted photo of the page. I fussed around with some die cuts and settled with the 3 snowflakes, the Nutcracker, Sugar Plum Fairy and of course the Christmas Tree.

I also used the printed strip at the bottom of the 12x12 sheet of “Oh Christmas Tree” to create the ribbon flag, and layered it with the “joy” flair.

Of course, I stamped my layout with the date the photo was taken {Date roller stamp from Heidi Swapp}.

And to take my layout to the next level I add sparkles to my die cuts. I dug into my old supplies and pulled my box of Stickles, I haven’t used these in ages. I love this extra sparkly touch!

I love this silly photo of my husband and I. Do you every stop at random places to take photos? Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

XOXO Aimee
