The Santa photo album

This week over on the Heidi Swapp blog we are celebrating the Season with handmade gift items. I decided to create this handmade mini for my dad filled with the Santa photos from each year since my boys were born.
It's fun to look back and see their growth but also see if they were brave enough to be on Santa 's lap that year!


I used one of the Heidi Swapp wooden albums and elements from the Believe collection to create my album.


 
I used a clear sheet to hold my vellum Santa and Joy to the Word embellishments.
 
 
 I misted a chipboard album with Chartreuse Colorshine.



I used my Epiphany Crafts tool to make my epoxy embellishments.


You can see a certain someone was missing from the photo this year.




I think this is my favourite photo, my youngest had just turned 1 and clearly did not want to be there!
