I have one little assembly tidbit to share in case you ever try to make one. Before I cut any paper, my very first step was to Sook Wang any edges inside the roll that looked loose or starting to peel.
That solved the problem of those edges fraying more with the motion of pushing the tags in and out of the finished book.
I think this mini will be a present for the grandkids. They have cameras and can take a few pictures of Christmas 2013 for their book. Little Mr P will love to pull the tags in and out!
The tags have fancy edges but I double matted the fancy part with a flat glittery card for extra strength. Perhaps you can see those edges a bit better in the next few photos.
Here are some shots of the mini pages.
Here are the tags that slide into the rolls. I left the back of each plain Glitter paper as this is where the kids will place their photos.
Hope you like the mini tour...off to work on a few more of the challenges. Hope I am not boring you too much...There is a faux stained glass stamped card coming up soon and also a 3D tag...that one should be fun!
No recipe tonight...basically 3 TP rolls, a bunch of snippets and more of that glitter paper I have been using on my last couple of posts. The embellishments are K and Co (of course...lol).
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
1. Marks Finest Papers Twelve Days of Christmas Day 12 - TP mini album
2. A Little Bit Crafty - Sparkle and Shine

Great mini album Mo. I made these as pressies a year or so ago. Easy to make and great to use up Snippets. Which reminds me, why isn't this in the Playground?

These are gorgeous Mo. Really pretty and lovely sparkle too and no you are not boring us.
However what is a sook wang? What is it you had to do the inside edges? x
Hiya, that's a lovely little book - such bright cheery colours.
Sorry I'm being a bad bloggy friend, it's just we're so busy with the painting (and Emily's busy life!) I'm not getting as much time as I did for crafting / blogging / surfing.
Hope you have a lovely weekend,
Sarah
Gorgeous album... Love the Christmas colours & beautiful images....Hugs May x x x
Gorgeous album Maureen, the kids will love it. Carol x
This will be so much fun for the little ones, they seem to love little places to put tings and a place dressed up so festive will just make it more special :O)! Very creative!

Wonderful....very christmassy.
Oh my, these did look intricate (and as you said "fiddly". I love that word!). They are lovely, and I can bet they were time consuming as well. Your littles will love them, and know that you made something very special to help them remember Christmas 2013. Good granma! TFS & Hugs
