I had so much fun creating this mini-album for my mother-in-law. I loved it so much, I almost wanted to keep it in the end. Rest assured, I did send it off to my MIL. 🙂 Check out my Mini Album Gallery for photos of this album (and others).
I did get my husband’s opinion a lot along the way.… Read the rest
My earlier post featuring the encouragement cards I made using the Spellbinder’s Card Kit of the Month – Hang With Me showcased my first project using a Spellbinders card kit. At the time, I reserved judgment on the Spellbinder’s card kits until I had a chance to use it for more projects.… Read the rest
When I saw the Graphic 45 Ladies Diary Deluxe Collector’s Edition paper pack, I knew I had to make a mini album for my mom. She used to sew for a wedding dress designer, and the illustrations of these gorgeous women in all their different style dresses reminds me of the dress patterns my mom used to buy.… Read the rest
If you’re looking for a quick gift idea, this Trinket Box mini album comes together very quickly and is a great gift for all ages.
Below is my showcase video, which walks through the mini album pages and afterwards I show you all the supplies I used – except I forgot to mention the Love from Lizi pinstripe stickers I used on the photo mat inserts.… Read the rest
This time of year is super busy for me… it feels like Christmas what with all the gifts, cards, etc. I send out. May is Mother’s day plus 5 birthdays. June is Father’s day plus another 5 birthdays.
This year, I’ve gotten into mini albums, so I’m making several to send to family and friends.… Read the rest
I ordered this awesome die set from CraftStash a while ago and it finally arrived! I had to dive in and make a mini album straightaway. This set is one of many die sets in Tonic Studio’s Memory Book series. There are actually three different Keepsake Insert sets. I only have the Book of Special Memories but I love it so much, I may just have to get the other two now!… Read the rest
I have five nieces and four of them have birthdays the next couple months, so for presents this year I’m making them mini albums! My hope is they’ll enjoy filling the album with photos and every birthday I’ll give them a new album to commemorate that age.
I have two videos to share – one is a showcase walkthrough of one of the albums.… Read the rest
If you saw my Rose Quartz Swatchbook showcase video and you were curious how to make one for yourself, check out this video. I’m swatching a new designer paper pad I recently got on Amazon. I’ve never heard of the brand, but the quality and design are pretty nice. The only odd thing is the consistency of the paper weight.… Read the rest
I was going through all my paper collections trying to get organized and maybe use up paper packs. But I felt oddly precious about all of my papers — I wanted to save a sheet from each pack just so I could see the unique designs. In particular, I got a lot of mileage (a.k.a… Read the rest
I started making mini albums with the ultimate goal in mind of creating my own wedding album. I’ve discovered a lot of dies (e.g. Tonic Studio’s Memory Books) that you can use to make gorgeous and elaborate memory books. I’ve ordered several, but they haven’t arrived yet, so in the meantime, I’m going back to basics and made a few albums from scratch – all hand-cut.… Read the rest
