For the last 5 years I’ve been collecting Christmas scrapbook supplies. I had made 5 mini Christmas albums for family members and always had the intention of making one for myself. I’ve spent every season since then trying to decide how I was going to scrapbook my Christmases in a special way.  I thought maybe I’d make a new layout each year and then put it in one master book, but I take WAY too many pictures to have everything condensed down to a few 2 page layouts. So this year I finally decided how to solve my problem… MINI ALBUMS! So for the last two weeks I’ve been working on a mini album for each year my husband and I have been together. I’ve gotten 5 of our 9 years together scrapbooked in just 10 days. It’s been A TON of work but, they’ve all turned out so amazing and each one is my new favorite. Over the next few weeks I’ll share as many as I can starting with this one.

   

It’s just made out of one of those brag books that you can slide your 4×6 photos into. I recovered it using a fun patterned paper and some MONO Adhesive Power Bond. I inked each photo and added a small embellishment using the MONO Glue Pen for the little things and the MONO Aqua Liquid Adhesive for the buttons. I also wrote on the buttons with the white MONO Gel Pen to make them looked sewn on. Then I slid in a few journaling cards and it was done! Our complete story documented. The album came together quickly and we already love looking through it and reminiscing.
