I can’t believe that October is almost here! 😜

And while I am neck-deep in Halloween cards (oh, they are some of my favorite things to make!) I also haven’t forgotten that the holidays are almost upon us!

You know what that means…

Christmas!

(cue the dramatic music)

So my craft-brain has been thinking almost non-stop about WHAT I need to make before mall Santa’s everywhere dust off their outfits and send them to the dry cleaners. 

And since it’s been a rough year to get and see people… I really want to make this holiday special for my family and my friends. 

Sooooo….

I’m making them all MINI ALBUMS for Christmas 😃😃😃

A lot of work???

Yes.

Will it make them feel loved and know how much I appreciate them? 

I hope so ❤️ (That’s what I’m going for!)

Will I have a blast making all these little goodies???

Oh, yes in-deedy-do! 

Want to see all the goodness that is going to be coming out of my craft room for the holidays??? Here are my TOP inspiration albums that I’m making for gifts this year!

(Chosen because they are (A) cute, (B) mostly simple to make, and (C) just ‘cause I like them 😊)

Explosion Box

I love explosion boxes! (I’ve seen photos all over the place and just think they’re so cool.) Although it takes some time to create one, it’s all worth it in the end because they are jaw-dropping! ❤️
