Nutcracker Mini Album

A dear friend's daughter is dancing in the Nutcracker again this year and when I saw this Graphic 45 paper pack I knew I had to make her something. I thought I would use my Wizard of Oz kit instructions and see if I could make something from scratch.

 
The Graphic 45 paper pack I used:

 
I used chipboard for the cover and covered it with paper. I used pop dots to raise Clara.
 
 
 
Here is the inside cover and page 1
 
 
 
Page 1 opened
 
My thought is that everywhere you see a blank beige paper you can put photos or souveniers in that spot (there are lots of pockets)
 
 
with the flap open
 
 
The back of page one
 
 
 
The back of page 1 opened
 
 
Back of page 1 and front of page 2

Page 2
 
 
Page 2 opened (inside)
 
 
these tags in the pockets have spots on the back for pictures
 
 
The back page 2 and front of page 3

Page 3 inside

Thats it!
 I hope she likes it!

  4. As someone who danced in the Nutcracker for 3 years (I was Fritz for 2) this gift is awesome. She will LOVE it. And if she doesn't send it to me and I'll dig my old pictures up and put them in. :)

  6. Gorgeous, Carrie! Do you have any idea how envious I am of your artistic ability? I'd never have thought to use the papers the way you did in this album! (Wanna do my recipe albums for Christmas? LOL!)
