Some dear friends of mine from church recently welcomed a new great-granddaughter, Sophia Elizabeth, born Feb. 14! I was going off to Scrap and Spa, in Union Pier, Michigan, for my annual scrappy weekend and a mini album was the perfect project to take!
I started with an 8x8 acrylic album I have had so long I don't remember the brand! I chose Crate Paper's Emma's Shoppe collection with lots of embellies from Flamingo Scraps and my stash.

| I really love working with acrylics though it can be a challenge to work out both sides looking neat!! |
 |
| This is my finished cover -- I fussy cut the princess, added Prima bling, buttons, and made a charm of their songbird tiles! |
 |
I recently found an old manual typewriter at a thrift store -- $5 and a new ribbon and I was in business!
Here I made jewelry hang tags with time, weight, and length on them.
I made plenty of tags of all sizes to tuck behind photo mats and on pages! |
 |
| The page on the left is Webster's Pages Sunday Picnic with Prima flowers and leaves. It coordinated beautifully with Emma's Shoppe! |
 |
| On the back cover, I used a Maya Road stamp. |
 |
| One of my favorite things about making minis is lavishing ribbon and trims on the binding rings and tucking in charms! |
My friends loved this little book and I had such fun making it!! I got some other projects done while in Michigan -- can't wait to share them with you! Thanks for Looking!

Great mini album. I love acrylic frames, and this one is so pretty. I bet she did love it. TFS
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun book! I still have never made an acrylic book- I should probably add it to my crafty bucket list. :)
