Over the years I have accumulated a large selection of Santa prints and images. I have taken a few of them and put them in a mini album so I can enjoy looking at them without having to shuffle through a box to see them.
I have used one of the fabulous album kits from
Red Rubber Designs. This
one is the
Woodrowe Keepsake Album Kit. It come with lots of printed
pages and accessories. You just punch them out and create making it a
quick and easy process.
For the front of the album, I have paper pieced the large tree from the
Brushed Christmas rubber stamp set using paper from the album kit. The background script behind the tree is a stamp from the
Vintage Santa rubber stamp set.
I stamped the versatile little evergreen sprig from the
Holiday Wreath rubber stamp set in the corners with black ink and then embellished with a glitter pen and gold half beads. Again, the bg stamp is from
Vintage Santa.
Using the same evergreen sprig stamp, I made a garland down the side of the page embossing with gold ep.
The wonderful Thomas Nast Santa is one of my favorite stamps and is from the
Vintage Santa rubber stamp set. If you look closely at the lower edge (behind the evergreen), I have stamped the year 1881. That was the year that this illustration was first published in Harper's Magazine. It is the most famous and most reproduced of Nast's Santas.
Love and Peace are from the
Brushed Christmas rubber stamp set and the script bg is from the
Vintage Santa set.
I have used the ink splotch stamp from the
Fly Fairy rubber stamp set on these pages. All the tags and frames are included with the
Woodrowe Keepsake Album Kit.
On the back of the album I stamped the script from the
Vintage Santa set (it seems to be my new go to stamp) and the smaller tree from the
Brushed Christmas set.
