Christmas Scrapbook Album with Bella Blvd

Hey friends! It's Wayback Wednesday, so I thought I'd share an oldie but a goodie from 2014. It's a Christmas mini album that I still love. I think it's fun to look back on older projects to see how styles and paper collections have changed. One thing that will never change is my love for Bella Blvd and Doodlebug Design.

Isn't she a cutie? I created this one with the fabulous Bella Blvd, Christmas Cheer Collection and a Doodlebug Design, Plain and Simple 6x6 chipboard album. On the cover, I added the striped Reindeer Games paper, the Christmas tree sticker from the Trinkets, and the "Christmas" title from the Ciao Chip Icon stickers. Then, I framed the square window with scallops and added lots of colorful ribbons.

Note: I linked the products used in this album for reference, but ... I've also linked to 3 Bella Blvd collections that would make great substitutes! See below for Merry Mingle, The North Pole, and Merry Little Christmas.

Inside, I made a flippie using a 3x4 card from the 12x12 Daily Details paper. I loved the snow globe image and thought it would be perfect peeking through the window on the front cover. Then, I added some holiday cheer to the tabs with stickers from the Treasure and Text.  

Isn't this 12x12 Happy Hearts paper fun?! It's pink color is such a cute and unexpected surprise for a Christmas collection and I absolutely love it. On top, I added the "I ❤️⁠ Christmas" piece from the die cuts. 

I continued the pretty pink hearts across to this next page using another card from the 12x12 Daily Details to make the photo mat. Then I added the journaling card with its colorful row of trees, the Holiday Hoopla trinkets sticker, and the Ciao Chip Icon gift sticker. 

How cute are these little reindeer? I love how quirky they are with their stick-like antlers and tiny little eyes. I added a mini red jewel nose to the reindeer, the "family" Trinkets sticker, and the tab with hearts from the Treasures and Text. 

Here, I adhered the Merry Christmas scalloped die cut piece just off the edge of the page. I still do this in my albums today. I love having different shapes, tags, and ribbons popping out of the top of my scrapbooks.

No Artsy Albums mini is complete without a few handy pockets. They're perfect for storing extra photos and journaling cards, but also ... all the bits and bobs we collect along the way.

Above, I made a 4x4 flippie with a card from the 12x12 Daily Details and added more red jewels for sparkle. It can't be holiday scrapbook without a little bling, right ladies?

I grew up with a Polaroid camera, so the style of die cut frame above is so nostalgic for me. The "Christmas Cuties" saying make this a perfect spot for photos of friends, family, or pets. And the little chipboard penguin kept this page simple and fun!

So, I would probably say I was a simpler scrapbooker back then, but all the things I love about this album ... I still do today! I have improved on my picture taking skills though, lol! 

🌟 Below are the links for Bella Blvd's Merry Mingle, The North Pole, and Merry Little Christmas Collections that would make excellent substitutes for this project. I've also added my 6x6 clear acrylic album.

I hope you had fun looking through this 2014 Christmas Album. It gave me a little inspiration and you may see details from this mini again soon. Have a wonderful day and happy holidays! 😊
