For my mini album with pictures from last years Christmas Eves I have used the gorgeous collection Christmas Collage together with the cool chipboard frames and snowflakes from Leaky Shed.

Julafton (Christmas Eve) Mini album by Ulrika Wandler

I used one of the gorgeous snowflake borders for my front page. I sprayed it with gold glimmer spray.

Inside the album I decorated with Leaky Shed snowflakes which I colored with 

BoBunny's white ink pad.

I have used pictures of my two sons from the past years. If you look really close you can also see our two bunnies wearing Santa's Hats in this picture:

Pre-Scrap Silver and Gold Mini Album

I want you all to close your eyes. Now imagine the stack, or drawer, or box of photos that need to be scrapped, but you haven't had time to get to them yet.

Have you ever thought to pre-scrap? Creating your layouts and mini albums without your photos helps save you tons of time.  Pre-scrapping allows you to simply slide photos into place!

Christmas Mini Album by Ilene Tell

I really love Bo Bunny's mini albums. They come pre-printed, so it totally saves time. Usually, covering naked chipboard albums is the most time-consuming, tedious part, so I was happy to have that work done for me already.

This mini is so gorgeous, with beautiful designs from the collection, as well as an elegant bracket shape, and pretty cut-outs on the cover and some of the pages. I decided to get ahead this year by creating a mini album for the Christmas season with the pages all ready to go for photos. Seven 4x6 photos will fit inside, so I can pick the very best ones. I hope you guys are ready for photo-overload today!

Here is a detail of the beautiful flourishes and chipboard shapes.

Page 1 (inside front cover): I inked all the edges throughout the album, and added dots to some of the pages. For the flower centers, I used round chipboard shapes and brads from the collection.

Page 2: I added photo mats to the pages, cut to fit 4x6 photos. For the first page, I made sure I aligned it so that the photo will be seen through the cover window. Again, I added some candy cane circles from the 12x12 chipboard sheet to the flower centers, and added glitter to them.

Page 3: For all the photo mats where the embellishments overlap the mat, I was careful to make sure I didn't glue down the parts that touched the mat, so that when the photos are added, they can slide in easily.

Page 5: I just couldn't resist cutting this awesome Santa from the paper and adding him to one of the pages instead of using it for a photo - he's well worth the space.

Page 9: The Noteworthy pack had a few great journaling spots, and I wanted to make sure I used at least one of the pages for adding some memories. This page was perfect for it, since I didn't want to cover up the cute image of the kids skating.

Detail from page 10: I really love the bling flourishes on this page. I also added a chipboard star to the top of the tree and added glitter to it.

And finally, the back cover. I added a layered chipboard embellishment to the back.

I hope you guys enjoyed the mini album. I can't wait to fill it with photos and memories!
