Gingerbread ~ A Mini Album

Hello sweet friends!  I must have been obsessing on a sweet tooth when I made this Gingerbread Card because the ideas kept rolling around in my head, wanting to make more darling gingerbread themed things.
 
 I made a mini album featuring more scrumptious gingerbread.  This giant mixing bowl made it's first appearance on the previous post for the Gingerbread card linked above.  
 
 
 I filled the bowl with a gingerbread man from Elizabeth Craft Design, a sugared up Candy Cane from Dee's Distinctively, a whisk from Spellbinders, some greenery and a ginger snap cookie.
 

  I'm currently obsessed with the Gingerbread Baking Co. label from Blue Fern Studio.
 
A peek inside the mini album shows more fun gingerbread items, such as this fun little tea cup from Elizabeth Craft Design.  She's filled with hot cocoa and mini marshmallows.  The Hot Cocoa label on the right is a printable I found on Etsy.  The tab flaps open so you can add a photo and some journaling.  

Look at what's hiding at the bottom of the tag!  A simple gingerbread cookie made using circle and scalloped circle dies from Spellbinders.  The faces are from Peachy Keen Stamps.  So fun!

Both of these pages have little tuck spots for photo's, ephemera or journaling.  Another one of those sweet printables from Etsy is tucked in on the right.  You'll see more on that below.
 

I found this polka dotted paper sack in my stash and made a little tag for more creative space.  The Plum Pudding is from Elizabeth Craft Design.


This is the little journaling booklet I made to tuck inside the tuck spot on the right side of the album, featuring another sweet gingerbread man from Cottage Cutz.

I adore how this mini album turned out, tied closed with a ginger spice plaid ribbon.
 
I hope you enjoyed today's post.  I'd like to enter this project into the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Christmas Kickstart Challenge ~ If It's Christmassy, Link It Up 
A Cut Above ~ Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by!

Birgit, this is so adorable! All of the fun gingerbread man images...I love the Cottage Cutz little man. The cover is gorgeous and of course, has a lovely vintage feel. There are lots of wonderful details too...the bowl, cookie, the cuppa. Overall fabulous mini album project with great use of die cuts. Thanks for sharing at A Cut Above's December, "Anything Goes With A Die Cut" Challenge.

Birgit, the joy of this just goes on and on! You are so good with your papers and dies, and your creative talent is over the top! I was looking at this thinking how fun it would be as a little recipe book using all gingerbread/cookie/yummy recipes. Each page is a treasure. Those little faces! Even the cookie... so much fun stuff here!
