Give Special Memories this Holiday!
There's nothing better than giving memories of Christmas past to your family! Magda Cortez has a magical album that shares the beauty and nostalgia of part Christmases to treasure for years to come!
"Christmas is coming and this time I want my gifts all hand made!!!.. And this is one I’m going to give to my sister and it is a beautiful Mini Album from the Past Christmas I’m using the Mixed Media Mini Album it is so easy! Some times we don’t have time to build the structure of the albums because we don’t have time.. because we want perfection .. because we don’t know if we want to add more pictures later or just because we love more decorate than make album structures.. so if you say YES to one of those because.. This is the perfect Mini Album for you! JUST DECORATE!
I have a tutorial how I did the cover.. I don’t have tutorial for the pages because I feel you can add your own style depending of the pictures you are going to use.. Anyways in the YouTube video you are going to see all the pages for your inspiration.. I hope you like it same as I like and I hope my sister like too!!!
Happy Holidays * Merry Christmas"
