Hello Christmas, Card Keeper Tutorial

This tutorial is for a Christmas Card Keeper...a keepsake album to store the Christmas cards you receive this year. I am using Carta Bella's "Hello Christmas" collection given to me by Country Craft Creations. I have designed a special project using this collection for the "Journey to the North Pole" virtual retreat coming up in December with Country Craft Creations. This is a bonus project I created with the papers I had left over from that project. Since this isn't an "album" but rather a type of storage binder, it takes little paper to create. Below you will find a cutting list for the project.

The album is 9 1/2" high, 7 1/2" wide, and has a 2 1/2" spine.

This project would be amazing in many other themes...birthday, wedding, baby shower, you name it!
