Today we packed away our Christmas decorations.  Every year I save many of the Christmas cards we receive, especially those with family portraits or holiday letters.  I’ve scrapbooked many of the photos and a few of the letters, but I’m never sure what to do with the Christmas cards.  I just store them in a photo archive box.

Eighteen25 posted this simple, why-didn’t-I-think-of-that idea for Christmas cards.  All it takes is a hole punch, a couple of binder rings and either a printer or some cardstock to make these Christmas card mini books.  They even provide a couple of printable covers!  Love these!  I sorted a few of mine by year, and then some years I combined into one book.  I also included our Christmas card as the first card in each book.  I used the printable covers and printed several more for years to come.

I have a small red box I bought at Target this year that I put current Christmas catalogs in during the holiday season.  I’m planning to buy a second one to hold and display my Christmas card mini books each year.

This is one of my favorite times of the year for shopping for Christmas scrapbooking supplies.  You can certainly shop for Christmas scrapbook supplies any time of the year, but this is the time when the scrapbooking manufacturers come out with their new Christmas scrapbooking product lines.  Even if you don’t need any new holiday scrapbooking supplies, you should still plan a trip to your local scrapbooking store just to see how beautiful these new product lines are!  Scrapbooking stores tend to have a better selection of these new lines than national craft store chains.  Sure you can look up these products online, but actually seeing them up close is sure to give you some great Christmas scrapbooking ideas and inspire you to create some holiday scrapbooking pages.  I especially love to see the color combinations they choose.  Christmas is no longer about just holiday red and Christmas tree green.

Here is just a sample of the new Christmas and holiday product lines from your favorite scrapbooking manufacturers:
