I'm sure many of you do this already being scrapbookers, but I never wanted to throw away the holiday photo cards I get every season so I've just been saving them and putting them in a box. I had three years worth!
My friend does a holiday photo card album and even though I don't know most of the people in her album, it's so fun to go through and watch families grow and change from year to year.
I had an extra 12x12 red album kicking around so I decided to do a greeting card album similar to hers that I'll take out only at the holidays. It's coming out great. I had a bunch of coordinating Christmas papers that I hadn't used in a long time, some bazzill red and green linen paper and planned it out. I kept it very simple and did only background paper and the photos. No embellishments for this album other than my Quikutz Paige numbers for the start of each year. I might go back and use some of my old Creative Memories hoilday stickers that have been collecting dust and space for a few years.
If you want a quick (good way to rack up that page count, lol), satisifying project, and a way to use some of that backstock of holiday papers and stickers, save those photo cards and do a holiday card album!
