MINI CHRISTMAS ALBUM

This is the MINI CHRISTMAS ALBUM I made @ a local scrapbooking store during their recent Christmas Open House with Make & Takes.

It was bound using the UNI BIND system.

 

Now that I have the book made, all I have to do is add pics, journaling spots, embellishments & do some technique work on the pages before I mount everything.

We were a little rushed for time so it turned out pretty good considering. 

We were given a wad of patterned paper & told to choose a sheet for the front & back cover, inside front & inside back. 

Then the remaining papers would be our pages. 

I took the time to arrange the inside pages to a satisfactory extent. 

Now that I see the overall view in these pics I would have liked page 2 to be on the facing side so the margin on the patterned paper would be lined up on the right side of the page like a school notebook instead on near the spine of the book. 

I might have placed the red pages more strategically too if I had more time. 

 They look a little out of balance in places. 

Oh well!

SO STAY TUNED!

THIS WAS JUST ONE OF 4 MAKE & TAKES THAT DAY.

I STILL HAVE 3 MORE TO SHOW YOU.

CHECK BACK FOR THE OTHER PROJECTS I MADE.

Large Vintage Flocked Poinsettia

The red leaves of this Vintage Poinsettia are actually flocked - it's flocking still intact after many years of careful storage preserving it's original condition. There are a few cracks of the paper noticeable on the green leaves, but I think this just as to the charm of the piece being vintage. Personally I would not find the need to fix it. I LOVE IT just the way it is! Hope you do too!
This is my largest gum backed sticker poinsettia measuring a whopping 4" wide x 3 1/2" high.   

This sticker dates back @ least to the 1960's or possibly earlier - 40'/50's.


I think the flocking is great, and you could add your own flocking to make it just like the original.

This would be perfect for an embellishment on a card, or print as a card itself.

Re size to make tags of assorted sizes for BIG & little pressies.

Make your own sticker labels for homemade preserves you might add to gift baskets this year.

Make your own hang tags for home baked goodies for Christmas gifts or to hang on your tree.

*Print out the contents of your homemade/home baked goodies (as in the last two suggestions above) on the reverse side of your poinsettias before you cut to size.

Print out on your computer to the size you want.

FREE Apple 8GB iPod

I had gone shopping for a few things Thursday night @ PriceSmart foods and upon paying for my order found out I could get a FREE Apple 8GB iPod if I cashed in 50,000 Save On More points. If only I had that many!

In the current rewards book you need 99,000 points but the hot offer for the current week was only 50,000. Well I had 37,000+ to date; but I did need more groceries. So what did I do? I went home Thursday with flyer in hand to do some brain storming.



Went back to the store early Friday evening bought 10 boxes of Kellogg's cereal with a bonus points coupon so I got 10,000 points there alone; that brought our current points to 47,000 - still need to hit 50,000(we go through a lot of cereal and with school start up just around the corner, we'll be prepared for early breakfasts).

Next We buy some frozen meat cause we have to have protein! Well that added another 2,000 points bringing us up to just under 50,000 points as we total our bill. HUH?! For sure I thought we had over 50,000 points.


DUH!! I forgot that I had an extra points coupon in my purse when my points card was scanned at the door before shopping this gave me an additonal 1,000 points for spending at least $75.00 on my groceries! BINGO ! Over 50,000 points! Cha Ching!

Hubby & I go over the Customer Service Counter to cash in our points and order our FREE iPod. "Would you like one now?" asks the girl at customer service "We just got a bunch of them in!" "YA, WE WOULD!"
