My last two mini album covers were a bit plan so I thought I will try something different.
I couldn't fine the red floss that I like so I used the regular sewing thread but the thread was very pretty. I used single thread for this one. It looked o.k.
I had to try another one with double thread. I love the second one but it took much longer to do the stitching because every time I pulled, the thread became uneven.
This front album took me over 3 hours to complete. I added the word "celebrate" under the tree. It looked very nice. I was very happy with the finished album.
And of course the Christmas tree inside the album.
I don't do challenges but I like Michelle Make It Monday linky party so I am going to enter this.
Thank you for looking. Have a wonderful weekend!

Awesome, Helen... what hard work - 3 hours must require a fat lot of patience which of course you have in plenty.
The stitching looks so lovely - great creation!

Hi Helen
I love your mini album covers. Your work is so lovely and detailed.
The Christmas tree is amazing!
Three hours is a lot of time and effort but so well worth it with these results.
Thanks for linking up to Make It Monday this week.
Michelle :-)
Both of them are beautiful. Wow, 3 hours, that's a lot of work.
Great creation!
Beautiful stitching, Helen. I also like the extra matting, the border punch and the ribbon on the second album. I always did love your pop ups. Beautiful work, as always....
