Christmas Minibooks

 Just wanted to show you these fun Christmas minibooks I have made throughout the years!  The top one (green) is made from a Making Memories kit I found at Target 5 or 6 years ago...the striped one is made from patterned paper I found online paired with a Maya Road tabbed chipboard album.

 This one is titled "Reclaiming Christmas" and speaks to the true reason for Christmas in my eyes...faith in Christ, family, special childhood memories...

 This green one is more like Ali Edward's December Daily--it chronicles the month of December in our family day-by-day...

These mini books are fun to put out in our family room during the holidays for everyone to enjoy.  I hope you had a very special Christmas, my friend!  Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!  Thank you for joining me each day on my December Card Extravaganza! I hope you were able to get some creative ideas for your Christmas cards this year.  Please enjoy a blessed time with your family and friends celebrating the true reason for the season...our Savior Christ the Lord!
