Holiday Mini Book

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share with you a mini-book I made for my friends baby girl who was having her first birthday party! My inspiration came from Cynthia at the Cricut MB. She has a YouTube video she has made for the mini-book she made. I want to make sure and give Cynthia all the credit on the idea for this project! She did an awesome job on hers, go check it out!

This is my take on the holiday book and I hope my friend likes it. Babies just grow so much in their first year and I wanted her to have a scrapbook show casing her little one! The recipe (as best as I can remember) is below each picture.

The front and back cover pages are 7x8.
The inside pages are 6x8. Each page is rounded with a corner chomper at the 1/2 inch side.

For any pages that use cuts from Design Studio, you can find the .cut files here.


The font on this page is cute with Simply Sweet
"my ST year" @ 1 1/2 inches
"1" @ 5 inches


"Tag" is Don Juan @ 2 3/4 using the "Under Pressure" & "Under Pressure Shadow" features
"Baby Carriage" is from New Arrival @ 2 1/2

"fourth of JULY" is from Graphically Speaking @ 1 3/4
The hats are cut from patterned paper I have and pop dotted for some dimension

"BOO" is welded in DS with Don Juan (my FAVORITE font!!)
"Pumpkin" is from Doodlecharms @ 1 3/4 with googley eyes
"Spider" is from Doodlecharms @ 1 3/4 with black flocking and googley eyes as well


Opposites Attract for "Thankful" @ 1 1/2
Doodlecharms "Basket"@ 2 1/2


Doodlecharms for "Santa" @ 2
Doodlecharms fpr"Reindeer" @ 1 3/4


Snow Friends for "Snowlady" @ 3 3/4
Don Juan under pressure & under pressure shadow for "SNOW" @1 1/2
Don Juan for "Much Fun" @ 1"

Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page - Snowflake - punched on a 5x5 page so the mat would be 4x4

**This page is my personal favorite!!** I can totally see this as a waaay cute scrapbook page in my future!
"Valentines Day" from Simply Sweet @ 1"
"Stamp" from Create-a-Critter @ 2 1/2, but the words "love" inside the stamp were actually cut at 2 3/4 - I just wanted it to look larger
The envelopes and "LoveNotes" were all done in DS.

I'm so sorry but I've lost my measurements for the next few pages.
The basket, bunny and eggs were all cut from Doodlecharms
The "happy easter" are thickers


The only cricut on the summer page is the "sun" and he is from Doodlecharms as well.


The cupcake is made in DS.

No cricut use on this paper, just a simple birthday wish with a ribbon detailing.


Well that's it! Thanks for looking!

Happy crafting!
