Family Mini-Album

Here's another mini-album idea.  These are really easy to put together, and all the recipiant has to do is add the photos.  Makes a great gift idea for someone hard to buy for.

For the cover I mostly let the beautiful Magnifique paper do the work. It's retired now, but the stickers for this set are discounted on my website (while supplies last).  I did highlight it though with glitter glitz to make it sparkle, and I added lots of ribbons to the binder rings.

Loving the glitter glitz, added some bronze this time.  I also added some buttons and brads.  I used the borders again on this one too.  Remember, they are still available at a clearance price through my website (while supplies last)

For this page I added some flowers for some bling with a sparkle in the middle.  I also used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut out the frames for the pictures.  I love how easy this cartridge adds to all my projects, what would have been a rectangle easily becomes a postage stamp!

This one has some buttons for embellishments, and little sparkles in the middle of those.  I just did plain rectangles for the photo frames, but I did run the rectangles through the cuttlebug for some added dimension.

Here's another one with brads and buttons, I also sponge daubed the edges of the photo frame to make it pop. (and of course this side has the glitter glitz as well)

I added some more glitter glitz on the back to highlight the peacock feathers.  I was tempted to use the sparkles on both the front and back covers, but in  my experience they hold up better on the inside of the album, while the glitter glitz adds some sparkle without falling off from being handled alot.

Hope this helps to inspire your creativity today!

Remember, I love comments!
