Crazy for Christmas - Memory Keeping

It's the final day of our Reverse Confetti Crazy for Christmas event, and today the Confetti Crew are focusing on memory keeping.



You can find a full list of designers hopping today on the Reverse Confetti blog.



I wanted to make a little tag book to keep a record of our first Christmas in our new home. I can't wait to decorate for the season, and intend to fill this book with little instant photos of our tree, and other holiday goodies. 



I've used the wonderful new Gift Card Holder Tag Confetti Cuts as my album base. This is such a great big tag, it's perfect for a little album. I've left mats where I'll insert the mini photos in December and also left room for stamped captions.



I've decorated with lots of gorgeous Confetti Cuts. The Holly Confetti Cuts were a must! I've also used the Winter Words, Wreaths and Stitched Flag Trio. I stamped the year with the new Alphabetical stamp set.



I've also used the Let It Snow and Double Banner Garland Confetti Cuts.





This page is a little envelope I've used as a pocket to store notes in.







The back cover is blank for some journalling I'll do with a white gel pen.



Thanks so much for stopping by today! Here are some more details about some of these fantastic products!



 

 

 

Mini Book for Dad!

Hi friends! I thought I'd stop in and share a mini book I made for hubby's birthday this past week. 

I've used a bunch of things from my stash, but the basis for the book came from some i {heart} papers goodies - the Fact paper from Basic Grey and the Childhood Wellington Project Life kit. 

I've also used the Avery Elle Love word die, Metallic shapes and Metallic dots and Memento Luxe ink.

Here's a peek at some of the pages. I like to add interactive elements, pockets and pull out elements to my books. I think they look the best when they're well loved and a little dog eared!

The glassine pocket holds a little letter.

Jackson loves tags! 

One of Shanan's adorable nicknames for Jackson

It's hard to tell, but the wooden geotag has a map of our favourite beach under the glaze. Steiny is another nickname - we're big on nicknames in this house!

Jackson LOVES books - this makes me so happy!

A few mini photos from Jackson's birthday this month

We have a song about wrapping Jackson up like a burrito when he goes to bed...yup, we're goofballs! And yes, he always sleeps with his head in the corner of the cot like that - always has, if we move him, he scoots right back!

Envelope cut down, punched the notch and filled with a journalling card with some of Jackson's new fave phrases and additional photos.

Thanks for stopping by!
