Christmas Scrapbook

January is one of my favorite months because the pressure of Christmas is over and I can scrapbook and sew and craft anew.  Not so much pressure.
First on my list is to Scrapbook Christmas!
I will who you a darling book that I did a few years ago in a class.  Clever layouts were fun.  We made the layouts first then went home and found the pictures we wanted to put in it.  I think it is easier that way.
the cover is just two brown paper lunch sacks.  I filled the book with copies of some very old pictures of Christmases of the Past and I love it.  I will show you some bigger Christmas books later but for now just hold on to your hat and get ready for 21 really cute little layouts and excuse the funny looking people you see inside from the past.  Mostly the 70's and 80's.  You may get a laugh out of some of our hairdos and clothes but we were as stylish as anybody.  My how times change and that is why scrapbooks are so special.

 I love this cover.  I think I will do something very similar for this Christmas.  You can pick up cute tags and things on the post Christmas sales at a great savings too.

 The tag pulls out to reveal pictures and information on both sides.

 the lift up cover is another cute way to add more pictures.  Notice the tiny clothes pin on it.

so here you have the first four pages.  More soon.
