Christmas gift exchange

I signed up for a swap where we basically created something for the other person. I made a little Christmas book. I had these mini file folders, or I thought they were file folders, turns out they were just inserts. I used them anyway. I put them together like a book.

 The front is a card that I trimmed down and then of course was too small, so I added some washi to the sides.

 I had the background papers from a kit, so I just went through and added them where I thought they looked good. The first page has a red spot background, I added a strip of gold paper and a stripe of red/green plaid. The tag was cut from another card. The right page has a holly background, it has images of Christmas trees and Santa on it as well. I added a foam ornament I'd made along with some foam penguin stickers.

 The left page has gold paper as the background. I fussy cut some trees out of another paper and layered them on. The right page has some sticky notes and snowflake stickers.

 Left page has snowflake paper with a strip of green/red plaid. I made a belly band with the red spot paper and put in some stickers. Right page has a background that says snow. I fussy cut the poinsettias from another paper.

 Left side has gold paper background, with a strip of the holly/Santa paper. The December is a sticker from a planner pack, I trimmed the ornaments off of it and added them to the bottom. The Santa hat was from a swap. Right page has red spot background with some vintage pom pom trim and a journaling card.
