Birthday Mini Album


I don't know about you, but I have a really hard time scrapping birthday photos. I'm not sure if it's because of the sheer number of pix from one event. Or, if it is because there are usually distracting backgrounds in the photos. Well, whatever it is, I put off scrapping them like the plague. LOL!

They need to be scrapped tho. So, I thought maybe if I make a mini album, it'll make it much easier to get birthdays documented and in a fun way too.

I made this mini album for my son's 8th birthday celebration. It is one piece of 12x12 cardstock folded in half and then accordian folded. I covered it with some new gorgeous Imagination Project paper and embellished it with some of my favorite things like Heidi Swapp ghost letters, swirl clip & index tab, American Crafts brads, Strano ribbon and Making Memories metal charms.

The inserts pull out to reveal photos, journaling and a gift list. For the photos, I just used my big honkin' square punch. I was able to get several photos on each strip that way.

I like it so much and it was so easy to do that I will definitely be making one for my daughter's birthday. :)

Cyas! Mo

Happy Pink Saturday! I have been going thru my summer photos and I came across this cool shot of my DD in her bright pink shirt in front of the M in MMOCA...Miami Museum of Contemporary Art. And another on a floor of records... And this is a shot of the family in front of La Carretta cuban restaurant in Little Havana. I rooster smoking a cigar. Gotta love it. :) This turned into a where in the world is the little girl in the pink tank top post but it was fun to relive those summer vacation memories again. I hope you have a Pinkalicious Saturday!

Being a part of the Blue Crew at Scrapjazz has its perks. Last month the company Imaginisce sent us all a box of free goodies to use. I got the Snowy Jo collection and these are the some of things I created with it so far. :) A Happy Holidays card. A paper ball ornament. A Merry Christmas card using brads.
