HOW TO USE YOUR OLD CHRISTMAS CARDS

Do you hate to throw away all of those beautiful cards that your family and friends send you for Christmas? I have always kept mine! I started running out of space to store them, after many years. So, I made this album several years ago using 3 white paper bags. I decorated the pages with old Christmas cards from family and friends.





This shows a pocket formed from the opening of the bag. You can add photos, journaling mats and keepsakes to the three pockets in the album.








The word "JOY" is added to this frame using Gold Glitter Glue. The top of the frame was left open to add a photo. The circle and swirl were cut from Christmas cards with punches. On the page to the right, I added part of a card to form a pocket for the tags.



These Christmas tree lights were cut out of a patterned gift box. I drew them on the backside of the box, cut them out and added sequins.




The purple frame was left open at the top to add a photo.




This was torn away from an envelope that one of the cards came in and then the edges were inked with red ink,




Please leave a comment on this post, if you liked my Christmas Card Album Idea, letting me know that you liked it. Thank for looking and don't throw those cards away!!!!
