blog stops!! If you arrived here from Corri's blog you are in 
the right place, if not head back over to Jess' blog so that you don't miss any of the wonderful projects today. As you know by now, the theme for today is mini albums and pockets! 


I designed and created a mini album for my mom with
pictures and memories all about ME! She asked
me to do this for her. She really wanted a mini album of
photos of me when I was just a little girl.
Here is how the project started.
I pre-cut the pages before I design 
them so I know how much space I will have.
All the pages follow a similar color scheme- pink, black and white.  I prefer this with an album of this length.
The embellishments change on each page.
The background of the paper was stamped before it was
embossed.
Each page has at least one picture, black ribbon, and an embellishment.
 
On each birthday page, there is a flower to represent the number of years I am celebrating.  So this page has one flower.
Using twine with buttons gives a project added dimension.
Turning two, so this page has two flowers:)
Try putting the ribbon over the photo for a different look.
Three flowers for a three year old.
The background paper is embossed with many different folders.
All the  letters for this project were cut from the 
Kate's ABC's Cricut cartridge.
Finally four, so four flowers for me:)
The "Pocket full of memories" for my mom holds a tag that I made her that says "I Love my mom."  It also holds wallet size school pictures.  This was a really fun album to make.  
I love how it turned out and so does my mom!!!  I hope I have inspired you to make one:)  Maybe you can work together with your mom!!

  13. I love how you kept everything uniform in color, how you used different embossing and the flower idea is great. I think you should add to it up to present times...don't just stop at 4! You might have to use mini flower brads for flowers :D Great job on your mini album...I love it and I bet your Mom did too. Thank You for sharing in the hop.

  14. Comment #2 I forgot childhood memories...We usually went to Lake Michigan for a picnic for our family activity. We went to a park called Tunnel Park...from the picnic area there was a tunnel through the sand dune to get to the lake and it was fun to make noises in the tunnel because it echoed :D

  15. I forgot to say my favorite childhood memory! I come from a very large family of 9 children, one day as we all sat around the dinner table, music playing in the background...an old song: Cecilia! My little brother starts tapping his knuckles (drummer), others started tapping their feet and drumming their fingernails. We all looked up at each other and broke out in song! My mom & dad laughed their heads off! It was hilarious!

  19. What a great album - a super idea! I'd say any favorite memory had to do with spending time with my grandparents...they always made life wonderful!
