I am continuing to make progress on my holiday book. So far it's been easy to find holiday items & photos to add. Below are the next few pages. Click to enlarge.
I cut the cover of the December j.crew catalog into two 4x6 pieces...
and mounted them back to back with a tape runner to serve as their own page. (I love the neon fonts and forest green background.) I machine-stitched a rectangle in red thread on the file tabbed page and stapled a tag with text right on to it.
To make a two page photo spread, I re-sized my photo (taken with a self timer) in photoshop to 6x8. Then I cut the photo in half to make two 4x6s. The left side got adhered right to the tabbed page.
And the right side became another new page when it was backed with another 4x6 photo of our wreath. I added a sticker label to the red card with text about the wreath.
I adhered a flyer from the holiday pop up shop to the back of the red card and flipped the silver patterned paper so I had the plain side to work with. I printed a few strips of photos (using the contact sheet printing option in iPhoto) of the event. The label on that page is discontinued from Paper Source, but two come with the holiday book.
