My Christmas house mini album

I am so excited about showing you today's project - another of my little house albums. It has been a real labour of love preparing these little houses and today I have my Christmas version to show you:

It's full of little details - from the wreath on the door, to the glittery, snowy roof!

When you unfasten the bow, the house opens out into an album...

...with room for your festive photos.

The roof comes off and turns into a card, so this little album is perfect for sending to someone special at Christmas.

In fact the whole thing folds flat and fits neatly in a standard C5 envelope all ready to post. Can you imagine how delighted your friends and relatives would be to receive one of these lovingly made house albums at Christmas? I should think it would take pride of place in their festive displays!

I am in the middle of producing a step-by-step tutorial for these little albums. It contains full instructions, with clear full-colour photographs, along with hints and tips for decorating them. It will be available for purchase at £2.50 and should be ready by the end of next week - look out for it then!

Now I can't finish the week without adding just one more entry into Chrissie and Mandi's Less is More challenge since they're aiming for 1000 entries this week.

I have loved using the Baby Blossoms set and will be sad to see it retire at the end of this month - that's just one week away!  It's the perfect set for stamping shabby chic florals - as I've done on this little set of retro note cards.

The 'ribbon' is a strip of card stock and I've topped it with the gorgeous polka dot label from Four Frames which is easy to punch out with the Decorative Label punch. The 'for you' sentiment is from the retiring sentiment set Occasional Greetings.

Supplies needed for this card:
Stamps: Baby Blossoms, Four Frames, Occasional Greetings
Ink: Rose Red, Pear Pizzazz, Pretty In Pink, Baja Breeze, Always Artichoke
Card stock: Whisper White, Rose Red
Other: Decorative Label punch, Stamp-a-majig
