My First Mini Album Christmas

After joining the Mini Album blog hop tonight I really wanted to try to create an album I had seen on the hop! So what did I do? I went to the bathroom and went potty cause I had sat for 3 hours hopping! I got me 4 toilet paper rolls and sat down to create! 
This is my first attempt at a mini album so be nice! Or things might be messy.. well wait, my desk is already a mess... I think it turned out ok. But I have to confess I didn't take any measurements :( sorry. But you can find the video on how to create your own HERE at Cardz TV. (Mary is one awesome crafter!)
All of the paper is from DCWV Christmas Combo Value Pack. (excluding the mat's on the tags and front page, that is just Ivory cardstock distressed with Tim Holtz Frayed Burlap). The chipboard diecuts are from the Paper Craft Magazine, and I didn't like that they were so white against my papers so I distressed them as well with the same color as the cardstock. I adhered them to the album with Helmar Clear Zapdots.
The stamp on the front is from Unity Stamp Co, and I got it free off of the Paper Craft Magazine Nov/Dec issue.
I am entering this into the Cooking With Cricut blog hop challenge! Check it out HERE!
Hope you enjoy!
