For today's project, I created something that I've been meaning to create now for three years, a "December Daily" mini album. I know that October is a little early to be making something for the holidays. Normally I am never so prepared, or early with most anything. It just so happens that we are going to be moving in the near future, so my scrappy area will be "mostly" packed up for awhile. I'm planning ahead. And with the gorgeous Christmas and Santa stamps that I had available to use, I couldn't resist!

See!! Isn't that Santa just adorable?!?! With my December Mini Album, I decided to sprinkle the stamps in various places, both in ink and embossing. I started with a Silhouette cut of "December" using last year's Wonder line and some cream cardstock. The cover was covered in Festive's Merry. I also used Details, some May Arts ribbon, a couple of button pearls, and a neat skeleton key that I found at the hardware store.

In each page, I combined both cardstock, Authentique papers, Authentique Details and Unity Stamps.

I loved embossing with the Unity Stamps. They made such clean images.

Doesn't the embossing look great on this one? I just loved how the snowflakes popped in black!

I even was able to use some more of the Wonder in a few pockets throughout the book. I really love how the older lines blend with the great new ones!

The Santa Claus was just too adorable!!

And a little pocket envelope for a letter to Santa.

I couldn't resist using the large quote stamp a few times.

And Christmas Day! I cannot wait to enter the photos for this day.

I really hope that you enjoyed seeing my Christmas Mini Album. Now that you've seen my work, please continue to Jen's blog over at The Buck Stamps Here. Have a great day, and make sure to comment on each blog as you go. Both Authentique and Unity have some lovely prizes!!
