There is nothing much that makes me happier than my grandbabies. My childhood friend and stamping buddy Charla had a birthday this weekend and I made this mini album for her as I know she is JUST like me...nothing makes her happier than Maddie and Abby, her granddaughters.
I went to a CK Scrapbook Convention a few weeks back, and that always gets me excited for mini albums again. I came home and" whipped up" a couple!(I will post a cute baby girl one later this week- I hope) It did take me longer than I planned to make these books, I have to plan everything out...and Charla knows I am NOT a planner LOL! I drew out my pages and measured for my pictures...whew! Luckily, my dear son helped me by printing out the pictures while I scrapped...what a sweetheart! I am normally one of those crafters that just goes with the flow and whatever "channels" out of me is what happens LOL!
The first and second pictures are the front of the album. The DP is from Stampin' Up-called Cottage Wall...pure lovely paper! The polka dot ribbon is one of this years in color, Rich Razzleberry. I used the SU! punch 5 petal flower as well as Boho Blossoms punch for all the flowers. (A Martha lattice punch on the front page as well). The album is a 4 x 6 black chipboard from AwesomeAlbums.com.
Abby and Maddie so sweet!
The picture slips out. Lots of room for Grandma to journal on the back of all the pictures
Page 2 and 3-Eyelet border punch used here
Page 2-Untie the ribbon and the little booklet unfolds
Page 3 slides out
Page 4 and 5 with Basic Grey thick Chipboard letters.
Page 5 picture pulls up.
Page 4 picture pulls out.
Page 6 and 7 have tags that pull out. Tags made with my cricut and circle nesties.
Page 8 is a small 3 x3 Stampin Up envelope and the picture pulls up. Page 9 is a gatefold that unties and opens up. Sentiment stamp from SU!
I hope you enjoyed looking at this project...lots of pictures for sure!
I made a darling little fold out baby album for a shower gift this week as well, but need to edit my pictures before I can show you. (and clean my craft room...OH MY) I get to flinging paper and tools all over the place in my scrapping frenzy!

Oh my word! What a great mix of DP and embellies! All those mini-album pages have such neat ideas incorporated! I am sending a link to Paula since she lives and breathes mini-albums. I will be back to snitch ideas next time I make one!
