Mini of the Week

I love mini albums and I'm always looking for new designs for them. I decided that I would share a mini a week on my blog for all you other mini lovers. This week's mini is perfect for a keychain or to clip onto a bag. It has 4 double sided pages to hold 8 pictures. This mini measures approximately 2-1/2" x 3-3/4". What I like about this little album is that it has a little case to protect its pages.

I found the tutorial on how to make this album at splitcoast stampers. If you're interested you can find it HERE
I did make a few alterations to the instructions for my album but it's pretty close.

I used Reminisce pattern paper and Coredinations cardstock for this album. Isn't that monkey paper just the cutest!? I have this little mini up for sale in my Etsy store but I'm thinking I just might have to make another to give my nephew & his wife for their little boy.

If you give this album a try I'd love to see what you make.

TPE Challenge #32

This week's challenge at The Pink Elephant is a theme challenge. Our theme is Back to School. At first I thought was going to be a bit challenging since I don't have any children so Im not really in back to school mode. Then I got to thinking about all the small school pics that you trade with your friends. I dug some of my old ones out and found a handful of them from grade school so I made a mini accordion album with a cute holder for it.

Here's my little project and yup that's a crayon box that I altered.

Here's the album inside the box

And all the pics of some of my friends back in 6th grade.


Hope you enjoyed my little project and I hope it inspired you. This would make a cute little gift for a grade schooler to keep all their friends pics in. I might even make a couple for my nieces and nephews. Be sure to head on over the The Pink Elephant to see what the rest of the team did this week.
