Creating With Tina: My Title Page For Our Christmas Through The Years Scrapbook Album ...

The album's main title page is finished. I admit that I am probably slower at completion than most. Maybe I overthink?? Maybe I struggle editing or selecting that perfect stamp set or color. This is all OK as this is me - us - our pictures and memory albums. These albums should show us with our creativity so I am A-OK with being slower than most :)

Here is the main title page to our year of Christmas memories. I did have so much fun with this page as there are so many elements that I truly enjoy. And, one element that isn't my fav thing to do - did I mention fussy cutting?

The fussy cutting came into play as I wanted to use several stamps from "Filled With Cheer" stamp set. And, this is a stamp only set so no dies. While I can do fussy cutting as can pretty much everyone I do not do it enough to be really good at it. But, I had to have this stamp set included on my title page. We haven't always lived where there is snow and snowmen. So, opted for the wagon full of presents.

I used a 12x12 piece of DSP from "Sentimental Christmas #164209" which I see is also sold out but any Christmas DSP will be perfect. Or, you could also make your own "specialty" page by stamping on a 12x12 sheet of White Willow CS. I love creating my own pages with stamps and markers. That truly makes them yours.

I used so many Stampin' Write markers for coloring the wagon, presents and lights. As we know these markers come in groups of 5 or more so will list those below in "Products Used".

Also, Wink of Stella made a huge appearance on this page. If you know me then you know Stella 🤣! I used Stella on the bells beside Merry and most of the wagon element. Here is a close up of the wagon and please remember - I am not an accomplished fussy cutter!!!!

The presents are all glued down and then I used Mini Dimensionals for the wagon. Lights are glued down to the wagon and tires also glued to the page. Since this stamp set does not include a wagon handle I improvised and used a small piece of Silver Threaded Twine which was on the Last Chance list when I used it here but I see it has sold out as of today. Any twine will work or whatever you might come up with. It was suggested to use the handle from "Filled With Fun #163561" but I haven't purchased that set yet. The 2 presents falling off the back of the wagon are stamped using Snowy Wonder.

Here are some of the products I used and I will list them below as well. Since there are a couple items that have sold out as mentioned above and will not be returning I will not list them below in Products Used. I need to work faster I suppose 👍 !
