First off, let me apologize.  The paper from Michael's is from their Recollections Christmas paper and I was having a brain fade moment when I tried to think of the name of the paper. (That also teaches me a valuable lesson about throwing out the paper wrapper.)  The other paper pack I used was from the 6 x 6" pack from Christmas Wonderland.. The sentiment on the first page comes from a stamp set called Bird and Branch stamp set from Hero Arts that I found at Michaels.  The feather strip I used was from Joann's fabrics and I got the idea from a You Tuber called sil2289 who made a mitten album six years ago.  I used Tim Holtz Distress ink around the edge of all of the papers.  The brads that were trees and snowflakes I bought from ebay and the berries and leave 3d stickers came from Michaels.  I got the bell brad from a friend.  The journaling lines were from a Stampin' Up stamp set called Journaling Fun that's retired.  The snowflake on the back came from a pack from Michaels.  I was given the mitten chipboard from a friend so I don't know where she got it. I painted all of the chipboard black before I used it but that was kind of a waste of time as you couldn't see it anywhere.  I made the tag envelopes by measuring the width of the tags that I had and then added 1/8" to the width.  I cut a piece of cardstock to match the pattern on that particular mitten 1/2" wider than the measurement I already had and then scored it on both sides 1/4" from the edge.  Then I measured how high the spot was available for the tag and made the paper that height plus 1/4" and scored the bottom at 1/4" horizontally and snipped off the two bottom corners.  I folded in the 1/4" sides and bottom and then adhered sticky tape on the 1/4" sides and bottom that was now facing out (since I had folded them in.)    I took off the liner off the bottom piece and attached both side pieces to the bottom piece and then took the backing paper off the sides and attached the whole envelope to the mitten.  I did distress the envelopes before attaching them as well as punched 1/2 of a 1" circle punch on the top so you could easily pull out the journaling card.  If you have any other questions, please ask.
The Crop-a-Dile works for me if you rest it on the table when trying to set an eyelet.
