2015 Cookie Exchange Album

This album is the same format as previous post on 12/11/2015 Disney Memories Mini Album. As previously mentioned, instructions for this album can be purchased from Cristi Maron in her Etsy shop found here.  Her blog site is called Paper Hoarder Disorder found here. Her assembly video on You Tube is easy to follow and very informative with lots of tips and tricks of assembly. There are lots of photos of this 6 page album - lots of pages that flip up, flip out, open here, open there, pull out here, pull out there.  The library pockets are slightly wider in this album than the original.  All  pages and embellishments have been lightly sponged using brown ink.  Due to the long list of supplies used and amount of photos on this post, details will be listed at the end of this post.

The glitter cover paper used was so pretty, a simple embellishment title made using the Silhouette.

Inside front cover: Gingerbread edge punch for the pocket and a removable booklet.

Page 1: Spoon embellishment on the side pocket with a removable booklet complimenting the glitter cups paper used for the mat.
