Looking for a fun & creative way to capture the magic of the holiday season? 🎄✨ Whether you’re all in on documenting December day by day or simply want a place to preserve your favorite festive moments, traditions, and memories throughout the month, this mini book project kit makes it easy - and fun - to get those stories documented!
This is my most popular project kit every year, and it’s also my very favorite scrapbook project that I create for myself. ❤️ This year marks my 19th year creating a December album for my family and the 13th year I’ve offered a project kit so you can create right along with me. It’s a tradition I look forward to every single year, and I can’t wait to do it again this December!
**Stay tuned late September for a video flip through of the completed project along with an up close look at the contents of the kit.
This year, I’m excited to be using my brand-new paper crafting collection, Holly Days, for the project! 🎄✨ And this kit is absolutely PACKED with festive goodness - 12x12 holiday patterned papers, three sets of die cuts, 6x8 acetate sheets, cardstock stickers, word strip stickers, washi tape & more!
And to hold all of those December memories? A gorgeous 9x9 album covered in gold foil stars, complete with 6x8 pocket pages and roomy 2" rings. I’ve already been busy creating with all of this holiday goodness, and I can’t wait to share the finished project with you!
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ!
- This mini book project kit does not include printed instructions. Instead, you’ll receive an email with a link to download full-color, step-by-step instructions in time for the class. This allows you to order now without needing separate shipping if you’re purchasing additional items.
- If you’ve ordered the Holly Days Big Bundle and plan to make this mini book as I have made it, there’s no need to purchase this mini book project kit separately - the Big Bundle already includes all the Holly Days products you’ll need. You will need to purchase the Gold Foil Stars album separately here and an add-on kit here for the non Holly Days items listed in the kit below that are not part of the Big Bundle.
