The theme for this hop is a gift idea project so for my project today I made a Christmas Scrapbook!
I picked up this Hard Cover Scrap book in the dollar bin at Target. It has 8 blank pages inside. (16 front and back)
I wanted each page to be different so I used 16 different sheets of paper.
I cut each of my Christmas Pattern paper at 6 3/4 X 5 3/4.
I used my ATG gun to adhere all the pattern paper to the blank pages on the inside.
Once all the pages were adhered, the real fun begins!
I used lots of embellishments, scrap paper, tags, and bling to decorate each page. I was sure to leave enough room on each page to allow for a photo to be added:
You can win this fully decorated ready to go Christmas Scrapbook!

ReplyDeletelaysig@telus.net
I never did anything like that before. I now think I will have to check out some dollar stores as they would make great gifts for the girls in the brownie troops or the boys on the little league team. Of course I would have the paper and decoration accordingly but thank you so much for doing this. I think I found some very nice, personal, yet affordable gifts for the grandkids to give. (I will come back after the hop and check out the video again before I attempt this but you make it look so easy.)
