If you've been following me for awhile, you know that I fell in love with mini albums and even attempted to make my own. You can see the first one that I made for my swap partner a year ago on You Tube - just click here.
I have made a bunch and each time, they get better and better (at least I think so). Here's my latest:
I am trying to get my handmade flowers to a better shape but so far...this works. I think I'll find another punch or there might be a nice 6 petal one in one of the Cricut cartridges I have. The paper is K&Company.
In the corners, I used the peel-offs I received from my UK buddy, Lyn. These really work well everywhere! See the butterflies on the next page?
The border punches make great pockets for the tags. I used scraps of the paper to make more flowers and inserted flowers from Wild Orchid for the center.
One of the paper had a bunch of cherries and limes so I cut it out to make a pocket.
Again, the scraps became usable by using my heart punch and making a collage tag on one side (ink distressed the other side of the tag).
It's a simple colorful mini with plenty of space for pictures. I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Crafting! :~)

What a fabulous mini album! It's so pretty. Full of beautiful little details. I love that lime pocket.:) Such a fun touch of whimsy and so creative.
I have some colored rings like you used to bind this with. Maybe I'll have to try one of these minis. Your's is certainly inspiring.
Yes indeed, the albums are definitely getting better! This one is gorgeous, I love how you used the limes as a pocket too. Your handmade flowers are inspiring. ~Diane
