those are all very cute, where did you get your snowmen and your penguin? did you paper piece them yourself? I have one friend that always sends us the nuttiest holiday cards, this years had a fat guy at a party with old fashioned x-mas light bulbs stuck in his nose (one in each nostril) I'll have to do an upside down card for him next year he'd think it was the way it was suposed to be.

The snowmen and penguins were from WalMart in the cardstock packs for 6.88
And I did all the paper piecing by hand.
I think I cut 200 pieces that week! haha

OMG- awesome job! Love the colors, and the matchbook style! You did a lot of work, and they look great.

These are absolutely beautiful! I'd love to get one of these! What are the dimensions...do they fit in a regular envelope or did you have to make those also?

[blueyecicle]

They fit into card envelopes. I got special envelope because I wanted clear ones, so I ordered transparent ones.

They are 4" by 5.25"

- 1 strip of 12"x4.5" card stock for the album cover (double sided patterned card is awesome for this cover)
- 4 - 8 pieces of 4.5"x5" for the pages of the album
- Stapler and staples
- patterned paper + embellishments to decorate

The final product will have up to 8 pages and will measure approx 5.25"x4"


I knwo they are usually made for mini albums but I wanted unusual cards this year.

Those are so cute what a great way to send a card and a photo.

You did a great job, I bet everyone loved them.
