Hi friends!
If you know anything about me, it's that I LOVE MINI ALBUMS!! Having recently watched Nicole release a set of Dies that made a 5" mini album with fabulous little pages, I decided I had to make one!! She also designed the dies that make the frames you will see throughout this pot.
Each page in this book also has twelve opportunities for either more pictures, or journaling, as each page is a top-loading pocket housing a tag with matching mint-colored twine. The cardstock is nice and heavy, so there is no fear of this paper not holding up to use.

On the cover I knew I wanted to make a SHAKER and these dies made it so easy to incorporate one into my book. The other circle doilies added to the delicate look of this book, and I topped them off with miniature flowers and Tonic Nuvo Drops in Lemoncello.
Here is a Top view of the small album, which will easily house twelve pictures. The perfect first gift for a new mom, or grandmother of a new baby girl!
Inside, there is only one sentiment: "Enjoy the Little Things", suitable for the book, and all right-facing pages also have a Gorguss Girl image in a matted frame. These are all hand-colored!
Can you just feel the whimsy?? I love the colors of the Maggie Holmes paper I incorporated in this book, and the images!
As most of my books are gifts, I like to incorporate a template so the user can easily cut pictures down to size. To add this to my book, I altered a pink clothespin with a small green bow. Perfect!
Speaking of bows, there is one more on the back page of the book. It tops off a gift tag that reads:
WITH LOVE.
This will allow the purchaser to write a small note to the recipient, or perhaps mom can note the date of the pictures included.
Did you notice the BOX?
I added this GORGEOUS bow to the spine of my book, so not every box could fit this little album. This led me to design my own!!
I am so happy with the results!!!
Your little book can be set atop a table to enjoy, or gifted inside the little box that surrounds it for safety, but also give a sneak-peek of what's inside!
I just HAD to make sure the box was simple but cute, so I added another shaker! This time, it's a small camera, so the recipient can be reminded that this little gift is to house very special pictures.
I am happy to make such special items, and hope that you can enjoy them too!
Most of all, I hope that you can
Be inspired, Be Blessed!
