Hey there crafty friends - I'm so excited to share my next batch of layouts in my Snow Much Fun Mini Album! I hope you are all surviving winter and taking lots of photos to fill up your own winter-themed album like mine! If you missed my previous posts, the cover post can be found here and the first four pages can be found here.

Let's look at our next set of pages!!

Page 5 in the album utilizes one of the pocket pages in the album kit. This one is a bottom loading pocket that I decorated the front of the pocket and then stuffed the pocket full of lots of paper goodies.

I love the This and That sticker sheet because it always has the perfect title sentiments to add to my pages like I did here with the "Having Snow Much Fun" sticker.

The pocket is filled with a cut apart from the Cold Streak paper. I took one of the beautiful blue cardstock papers from the Textured Cardstock pack and folded it in half. This is a great place to add more photos. I cut out a section from the Spot of Snow paper, added a tab from the Bits and Pieces, and topped it with a cute snowman from the Puffy Stickers.

On the back of this page, we have a fun interactive page with a large tag pullout and then a spot for some photos showing off some snow play photos. The Snow Fun is from the Chit Chat die cuts. I love the pretty ribbons that this page has!

For the next page, I took a 6 x 11-inch piece of the Snow Day paper and scored it at 6 inches. I used one of the other pages as a guide and punched the 2 holes in the left side so it could fit in the album. Here, I decorated the front part with one of the 3x4 cut apart from the Frozen Flurry paper and made it into a pocket. I tucked a photo spot and a tag from the Bits and Pieces in there.

Here is the page opened up, and you can see more spots for photos I just think that cute little friend on his sledding tube is too cute! He's from the Odds and Ends

This is the back of the page. One more spot for a photo and look how fun our snowman friends are on their zippy snowmobile! This is another die-cut found in the Odds and Ends.

My next page uses one of the divided pocket pages. This one has a spot for a 4x6 photo on the top, and then (2) 3 x4 photos on the bottom. I had fun making another interactive element with the top pocket. I took a 4 x 10 1/2 inch strip of the Wintery Woods paper and scored it at 4 inches. This makes for a fun flap that I decorated with the "Tis the Ski-son" die cut from the Chit Chat. The bottom 2 pockets are decorated with a cute ski girl and a spot for journaling.

Here is the top page opened up. There are two photo spots here.

And here we have the back of the pocket with more photo spots and journal spots.

The last page features the beautiful blue color pages found in the album as the base. I fell in l love with these polar bears so they appear here. They are from the Odds and Ends and the Icon Sticker Sheet. The cute clipboard die cut from the Bits and Pieces is the perfect spot for some journaling.

And finally, on the back page, I wanted to use these 3 cute penguin pals so they got mounted on 2x2 inch squares of the Frosted Friends paper and then I added (3) 3 x 2 inch photo spots.

Here is a quick little walkthrough video of these pages:

These pages were so fun to create and are the perfect mix of spots for photos and journaling and some really fun interactive and creative ways to add interest to your albums. It's always so fun to watch people flip through the albums and play with all the flips, flaps, and pocket features. Stay tuned as I am preparing to add more pages to the album that I will get to share with you next time! Thanks for stopping by today! Stay warm!!
