Craft Island's Blog Hop

  Hi everyone - this is your first stop on Craft Island's christmas blog hop.  We were all given BoBunny's mistletoe collection to work with - the papers are so bright and cheery!

   I decided to make a simple mini album with the 6x6 paper pad - it was so much fun to make and would be great to give as a gift.  For the base I used a piece of bazzill cardstock measuring 10 3/4 inches by 5 1/2 inches.  I scored it at 5 inches and then again at 5 3/4 inches (along the 10 3/4 inch side) to create the cover.  

  On the spine I used some eyelets and ribbon to make a handle, and then on the front I used one of the cutouts from the Santa's List 12x12 sheet and used glossy accents on the letters.

  Then inside I made a little accordion pullout which has room for 7 photos.  The little book is held shut with a velcro dot.
  

  Then on the other side is space again for 7 photos, or for some simple journaling.

  Lastly I made a cute 3x3 inch card and matching envelope.  I decorated the card with some of the matching flowers from the collection.

  Thanks for visiting and remember to leave a comment if you want to be in with a chance of winning one of the 12x12 collection packs!  Next up is Katy's blog where she has made a gorgeous 12x12 layout.
