Country Christmas Pocket Notebook.
Being a friend and a big fan of the creative dies that Eileen Hull designs for Sizzix…
I was happy to jump on the band wagon with Eileen Hull’s Design Team and Educators
to create an album using Eileen Hull’s NEW Pocket Notebook Die from Sizzix*
You’ll just flip at the amazing things these ladies have come up with.

Is it too early to start thinking Christmas?
Once I saw the Simple Stories– Country Christmas 6 x 8 paper pad*
a cute little album for Christmas using Eileen Hull’s Pocket Notebook Die*
To create the album you’ll need to cut out the pieces from matboard.
The Sizzix Little Sizzles Mat Board*
I like to use my Xyron Creative Station*
You can do this before or after you cut the die.
The Pocket Notebook Die*
the book. The page size is adjustable and the spine of the book can be any size from 3/8″ to 2″.
I kept the cover and inside of my album pretty simple, I’ll embellish it more as I add pictures.
The spine has pre-cut holes for gathering the inside pages.
I folded several of the 6″ x 8″ paper from the pad to make little page groupings.
Each one is held together with an elastic loop with I tied on the outside of the spine.
I created a couple pocket pages in the center of one of the page groupings.
There’s a lot of possibilities and potential when using the Pocket Notebook die.
