How the Holiday Faves 6×8 Mini Album Templates Work
The Holiday Faves 6×8 Mini Album Templates include four types of page templates which can be mixed and matched to create your album: Foundation Pages, Accent Pages, Journaling Pages and Photo Pages:
Foundation Pages
The Foundation Pages are designed to be the pages on which you build the foundation of your album. All of the foundation page templates are made of simple paper strips or paper blocks, so you can clip digital papers to them to pretty them up, print them, and then add photos, memorabilia, journaling or accents to them during the holiday season.
Accent Pages
The Accent Pages go along with the Foundation pages in building your album, but rather than adding anything to these pages during the holiday season, they’re designed to stand on their own as is and be the pretty jewels of your album.
Journaling Pages
The journaling pages are the pages where you’ll add your stories. Print and add your stories by hand or use your computer to type away and then print. It’s up to you.
Photo Pages
The Photo pages serve as an easy way for you to create multiple photo 5×7 sized pages to your album after the holiday season starts. Just clip your photos and print the page out on photo paper and add it to your album.
So how do you go about actually combining all these pages to create your own album?
Well it’s really it’s up to you!
All the Holiday Faves 6×8 Mini Album Templates are designed to be completely mix and match so there’s no one way to combine them!
Just create your album foundation…
…and add to it as the Holiday season magic happens!
So much more than just a pack of templates, the Holiday Faves 6×8 Mini Album Templates make creating your very own holiday mini album easy, doable and most of all, FUN! Consider it a scrapbooking gift to yourself you’ll cherish for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Who is the Holiday Faves for?
Holiday Faves is for any tech-lovin’ memory keeper who’s interested in creating their very own list-lovin’ holiday mini album. If you love the idea of creating a holiday mini album but want something a bit more easy and doable than what you’ve tried in the past, I have confidence Holiday Faves is the right solution for you.
Do I need to be a digital scrapbooker to participate in Holiday Faves?
While Holiday Faves is primarily geared toward digital or hybrid scrapbookers, paper scrapbookers are more than welcome to join in the fun.
I’m new to digital scrapbooking, can I still sign up?
Absolutely! The Holiday Faves mini album templates are designed to be simple and easy to use and are a great first project if you’re interested in giving digital scrapbooking a try. I’ll be more than happy to answer any questions you might have along the way.
What digital skills do I need to know to participate?
A basic understanding of Photoshop layers and clipping masks will help but is not required. I’ll be more than happy to answer any questions you may have if you’re new to digital scrapbooking.
What software do I need to use the templates?
You’ll need a program that can handle and manipulate a layered Photoshop (.PSD) file.
Does it matter if I use a Mac or a PC?
Nope! All tech-lovin’ memory keepers are welcome. I’m a Mac user with a strong PC background if it helps.
Will you consider offering your templates in (insert your chosen format) as well?
In order to keep things simple, I will only be offering the Holiday Faves mini album templates in Photoshop (.PSD) format.
Do the Holiday Faves mini album templates include any drop shadowing?
Yes, most of the templates include basic drop shadowing and layer styling which can be easily customized or removed. Color in templates is for preview only – all templates are grayscale to not interfere with your design process.
What kind of album do you recommend for my printed pages?
Finished size of the printed Holiday Faves mini album is 6×8 inches so any album or photo book of that size will work. In the past, some scrapbookers have chosen to print the foundation of their album ahead of time and add photos and handwritten journaling to it much like a paper scrapbooker would, and others have chosen to complete all their pages digitally and print them all at once in the end. It’s really up to you!
