Hi Annette. I love this. You always inspire me. I have several challenges with other paper lines to put together this weekend and I'm thinking this is perfect for either Stamperia or 49 & Market. Thanks for sharing. Creative Blessings!
I just love this board book. My grandchildren would absolutely adore this. A perfect gift for Thanksgiving. They will be ready for the Christmas countdown!
Thanks so much. I truly wish I were a grandmother. No more little ones around here, as neither my daughter nor my niece and nephew aren’t getting married anytime soon. I hope you enjoy making one for yours. I think that’s super sweet.
Simply adorable! Love all the the little babies and the ribbon candy paper! Your album has really inspired me to make a December daily!!! Can't wait to get this new paper!!!
Wow, thanks Joanne. So glad you liked it. I’ve finally received my order of all the items in this collection and am super excited to start designing my Holiday Workshop projects. Have fun!
Michelle Brown Thanks Michelle. The December Daily concept has been around for years, although I had never made one. This is the perfect collection for it. Thanks for checking it out, and I’m glad you liked it.
Thanks so much. For such a big book, I felt it needed to be fairly simple. Certainly there could be more embellishment, if one would choose to dress up the pages and the cover further.
Awesome, Annette! I love the idea of a board book! It goes perfectly with those sweet images! I am so excited to get my hands on this collection! It reminds me of Christmas Past and Christmas Emporium of years ago! I also use the Kadomaro Pro corner punch! I found it on Amazon a few months ago and decided to try it out. It works really well. I hope it holds up to the use we give it! hee hee
Thanks Gloria! That means a LOT coming from you. I love this collection too. Super sweet imagery. And that punch of mine has seen a TON of use since I purchased it last summer, so I'm happy with its durability.
Thanks so much, Bobbie. I hadn't either, truthfully, but I like the idea. Definitely something great for families with lots going on getting ready for the holidays.
Fantastic book that really highlights this wonderful collection!! I'm a junk journaler, so when I try this idea, instead of board, I'll use cardstock and adhere two pieces together on 3 sides to make large pockets on some of the pages. Then the cute ribbon tabs could be used as pull outs for large items tucked in the pocket. And I probably will have journaling spots instead of photo mats. I love your ideas and you did a beautiful job making the book. Don't you just love those kewpies?!
Hi there Annette! So I know this was way back in July of 2018……however, would absoulutely LOVE to see a tutorial of this board book with the new xmas collection, better yet, the new collection from G45 Woodland Creatures i believe its called lol. whatcha think ?!!!
Hi Lisa, sorry for such a delayed response here. I have gotten SO many requests for this as a tutorial, I believe this is the year for that to happen. Of course, it will be with new papers, so let's see what Graphic 45 comes up with this fall, and stay tuned!
You didn't miss it, because I didn't say it. I don't have the sample anymore, but the pages are about 6 1/4" x 10" and the covers are a bit larger. Glad you liked it!
Amazing! You did a wonderful job creating this. I am so totally inspired to make something similar!!! May do a sewn binding system. Not sure. Just thinking. I do have 2 questions ...did I miss measurements on the project or may be you did it mention. And 2, did you only use 1 set of each type of paper you used? Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful inspiration.
Thanks so much! I used pretty much every paper (2 of each of the 8 prints) in the Christmas Magic collection plus all the papers in the Patterns & Solids too. I only used half of the ephemera pack. This was a "quick" sample for the Graphic 45 folks to display in their booth at the Summer Mixed Media Event, so I didn't make up a tutorial this time.
Carolee Wolf Thanks! So glad you like it. And yes, it’s the Apple Watch Series 3. I love it! I just got two new watch bands for it that I posted on my Instagram and Facebook yesterday.
Phyllis Strotman Thanks! Yes I inked the chipboard especially since it was white on one side and Kraft on the other. This gave it a more uniform look. I punch the holes first so I can design the page with them in mind. Oftentimes I have to re-punch them after embellishing. Hope that answers your questions fully.

Such a great idea, it really does look like a vintage children's book! I love the blue papers!

This literally took my breath away!! I guess I need this collection!! Thanks for sharing!

It's very simple but very beautiful. I love the paper too.

Thanks so much, Bobbie. I hadn't either, truthfully, but I like the idea. Definitely something great for families with lots going on getting ready for the holidays.
I love it, and will definitely get this collection as soon as its available!

Absolutely stunning!!!
Cindy Peterson Thanks Cindy! It was great fun to create.
What does this beautiful book lol like now that it is full of Christmas memories?
Thanks Rachel! That's a great question and I wish I knew the answer. I created this for Graphic 45's tradeshow booth, so it belongs to them now.

@@AnnetteGreen please! I’d love to work along in my DD along with your tutorial. I want to use my ECD dies too!
Soooooo unbelievable! I love it!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks SIS! So glad you like it.
Beautiful, do you have a tutorial on this photo album. Would love to watch it ?
Lovely album. What were the measurements of the base pages? I heard you say the spine was about 3 inches, but I didn't catch the rest.
You didn't miss it, because I didn't say it. I don't have the sample anymore, but the pages are about 6 1/4" x 10" and the covers are a bit larger. Glad you liked it!

Your album is beautiful! I love your watch! If you don't mind me asking, is it an apple watch?
Carolee Wolf Thanks! So glad you like it. And yes, it’s the Apple Watch Series 3. I love it! I just got two new watch bands for it that I posted on my Instagram and Facebook yesterday.
Love this book. Do you ink edges of chipboard? Looks like there is no paper on edges. Also, at what point do you punch holes?
Phyllis Strotman Thanks! Yes I inked the chipboard especially since it was white on one side and Kraft on the other. This gave it a more uniform look. I punch the holes first so I can design the page with them in mind. Oftentimes I have to re-punch them after embellishing. Hope that answers your questions fully.
Absolutely beautiful Annette! What kind of cardboard did you use for the book itself?
Veronica Mercado Thanks Veronica. So glad you liked it. I used Grafix medium weight chipboard which I find on Amazon.
Annette Green - Thanks for the info! I hope you make it to back to Colorado Springs again. I loved taking your classes!
