I hope you all are having a great day. The holiday season is upon us and I can't believe how fast Christmas will soon be here, really just like 5 weeks away. Today's project is a Christmas Album, however I created it for my daughter to my grandson's Christmas pictures inside as it is his first Christmas. This album is really simple and easy not a lot of flips and flaps but definitely will hold lots of photos. For this album I used the Chipboard Banner Album from Clear Scraps. I have a step by step below and I have a video tutorial with more details.
Chipboard Banner Album Minis Shaker Onsie
To begin I covered the first chipboard front punch holes after you cover the front side and then cover the back side. Adhere the back pattern paper on. You can cover all the front and back pieces if you'd like but I did do some flaps and I added a couple of waterfalls inside. You can get more details by viewing the video tutorial.
Here is the reverse side of the cover piece. I will be adding a waterfall here so you will
cut 4 1/2 x 6 pieces and Score 1/2 inch on the 4 1/2 inch side. I have photo down below.
For page 3 I will be creating pockets. For the pockets I chose a paper that has borders or chose a paper with horizontal lines. On the back place 1/8th inch adhesive.
Next measure 1/4 inch space from the right and left edge. (I show more detail in video tutorial).
Once your lines are cut for your pockets place some adhesive above the top pocket and place adhesive above the second line/slit you cut.
Remove the tape backing and adhere to the chipboard page. Add in your photo mats.
Next cover the little banner. I place a 2 inch piece of pattern paper and just cut the excess paper aways from the chipboard edges.
Here is where I did the second the waterfall. Use these instructions for the waterfall both waterfalls that are in this chipboard album.
Cut 8 pieces of cardstock at 4 1/2 x 6, Score 1/2 inch with the 4 1/2 laying across the top of the scoreboard. Next add double back tape to the 1/2 inch flap, as shown below.
I added glue as well as tape to the 1/2 inch flap.
Make sure you have your page covered with pattern paper.
Next on the fold place the 1/2 inch flap down on top of your page.
Once you adhere on the first waterfall piece next do the same thing for the piece of cardstock. Be sure to line the 1/2 inch flap fold is placed right under that 1/2 inch piece that was previously adhered down.
Next I added magnets to the back and to one of the cut-apart cards on the back as this will be our closure for the waterfall.
Here is the waterfall finished with the cut-apart card the closure.
This page is behind the cover of the album. For this waterfall it will be done the same exact way but have the flaps laydown vertical, and add in the magnets for the closure.
This is the Mini Shaker Onsie. You will adhere two of the onsies together and then adhere the acrylic piece on top once your take off the film from both sides.
With plain chipboard trace it on a pattern paper, cut it out and adhere down.
Next add in your shaker bits and adhere the onsies frames down on top of the papered onsie, and the painted top frame.
Down below I'm adding photos of the completed album and the finished pages inside.
On top of the album cover I added the Mini Shaker Onsie. I decorated the front with some images I fussy cut and my grandson's name.
Here is the first pages (2 and 3) inside the waterfall behind the cover is covered with pattern paper.
The 3rd page is the pocket page we created, mats are 4x4 1/2 inches.
The 4th page has flaps on the right and left side, the middle section inside I have a 4x6 inch mat. For this page I took my xacto knife and cut around the images below the page, you can slip in the photo mat behind the image.
Here is the 4th page with the flaps closed.
Page 5 - This a side pocket I created and placed a Christmas Tree popped up with foam tape.
I placed 2 5x7 inch mats and 2 4x6 inch mats.
Page 6 on the left is another image I cut around with an xacto knife. I did fussy cut out the Santa and adhered him down by the sleigh. I placed a photo mat behind the sleigh.
Page 7 is the second waterfall I covered with pattern paper and has the cut-apart card with the magnets.
I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial and found some inspiration from today's project. I have the links to this Chipboard Banner Album throughout the step by step tutorial.

I hope you are doing well. I am so excited to share with you the November Scrapbook Kit. In this Scrapbook Kit we get a Curio Clock by Tim Holtz Idea-ology. I also used the beautiful chipboard angel and poinsettia flowers. So get out you things and let's craft together. As always I have a video tutorial for you here that shares more details and a step by step tutorial below. Links are shared throughout the post. I hope you get some inspiration from today's project.
To get started I used one of the chipboard angels outlining it with glue and then sprinkled white fine glitter on top. Set aside to dry.
Next I took one of the white poinsettias from the kit and painted it with the Flat Magical Wild Rose Rouge that is from a past Mixed Media Kit.
Next trace the back lid of the Curio Clock, cut out the circle and place inside the the lid.
Next I used glue dots to adhere down the little metal ring that sets in the curio clock and to adhere down my twinkle lights.
I added some poly-fil to bottom of the clock but I later cut a piece of chipboard 1 x 3 3/4 inches to place across inside the clock. This helps hold your items up better.
I added some snow inside.
I added 4 pieces of chipboard to the back of the Christmas Tree ephemera, so it would add a little dimension to the inside.
Next I added in the angel and decorated the rest of the out side of the Curio Clock.
Here are some close up photos for you down below.
I hope you found this Christmas Angel tutorial inspirational and you get to create one as well. I really enjoyed creating this for Christmas. I thought these would make great Christmas gifts as well.

Welcome back! I am so excited for Fall and getting the house ready for Thanksgiving Festivities. With that being said, I have a quick and simple Fall/Autumn Home Decor for you using the Rectangle/Square Printer Tray Frame from Clear Scraps. I have the links below and I also have a quick video tutorial for you.
When you receive the Printer Tray you will get 1 Acrylic piece, 3 Frames,
and 1 large Chipboard (back piece)
Adhere two of the frames together, as shown below.
Next paint the 3rd frame. I used a distressed stain, sprayed it all over the frame and used a napkin to wipe the stain around the frame.
Next place the two adhered frames on top of the large chipboard and measure the squares and rectangles cut out your pattern papers.
Once all the pattern papers are cut, adhere them down. Next on the back of the frame chipboard place double sided tape.
After I adhered down the papers I added in the ephemera and shaker bits inside each side.
Next peel off the acrylic film and place glue or adhesive on the frame and adhere down
the acrylic piece on top .
Here is a final view of the Autumn Days Shaker Printer Tray. Both rectangle areas have shaker bits inside, as to add a bit of fun to the printer tray.
I did pop up some of the ephemera pieces with foam tape.
I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial and found some inspiration from today's project. This is so simple and easy to create for a lovely Thanksgiving or Fall Home Decor using the beautiful Fall colors.
To create one of these beautiful printer trays check out the shop, I have links above and here for you to check them out.
I hope you are having a great day. Today I have a couple of fantastic Christmas cards to share with you using the new November Scrapbook Kit. Below I have a step by step tutorial along with a video tutorial and links to take you directly to the Scrapbook Kit. This Scrapbook Kit is something you are not gonna want to miss. I hope you enjoy today's project.
November Scrapbook Kit
Card 1
To start off I painted the frame green and covered the little Holly wreath bells with red glitter.
Set aside to dry.
Create a regular card folded over and cover the top of the card with pattern paper. Next I cut another piece of cardstock, covered and cut a large oval in the middle.
Next cut a piece of acetate that fits and adhere down inside the card.
Next add foam tape around the edges and the oval.
Next add in your shaker bits and place the top pieces with foam tape on top of the card. Then adhere here the Holly Wreath around the shaker window.
Now you can decorate. I decorated around the Holly Wreath the poinsettia ephemera, and added stickles in the middle of each poinsettia. I love how this card turned out it's so festive and beautiful with that Holly Wreath.
Card 2
To start the second card I gold embossed the chipboard Angel.
Cut a piece of cardstock at 5x11 inches.
Score the 5x11 inch piece with the 11 inch across the scoreboard score at 1, 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 5, 7, 8 1/2,
9 1/2; turn with the 5 inch piece across the scoreboard score at 1 and 4.
at the one inch scored line mark that as your front (as shown below, right side). On the left side you scored at 8 1/2 and 9 1/2 cut down to the second score line and then cut at an angle, see below, do that on the other side.
On the side where it says front, cut down to the 3rd score line 3 1/2 inch score line, and cut at an angle and do that on the other side. Below is what your piece should look like.
(you can also view the video tutorial for more details)
Next place tape on ends
Fold in at all the scores.
Fold over the back flap and adhere down. Do not adhere the front flap down.
Next cut out two large circles out of cardstock and acetate.
Next adhere them down. For this part I suggest to watch the video tutorial. You want the circles to line up. Place one circle in the folded midsection and place one circle on the outside. Next I adhered the snowglobe from paper collection on the back.
Next I adhered down in the front the stand piece of the snowglobe along with beautiful gold embossed angel and poinsettias. I also added in a couple of the poinsettias.
Here is the finished cards. I added a Merry Christmas stamped from the stamp set from May's Card Kit.
I hope you found both of these cards inspiring. I love the chipboard pieces that are in this kit, they are perfect for cards, tags, and scrapbook pages. The Holly Wreath has many possibilities, as do the beautifully cut angels. I can't wait to share more with you all this month. You can find more details viewing the video tutorial.
