Okay let’s try this again, my first attempt disappeared! 😱 I’m sure I’m not doing something right. Anyway, I’m making this mini album for a craft swap we have in a FB group that I belong to. It’s a way for members to get to know one another. My pictures aren’t great, but hopefully you get the idea. I want to decorate this to the max. Yes, I can be extra! 😆 Specifically can anyone refer me to a video (or three 😉) that deals a bit more on depth on decorating the spine of my album…..twine, ribbon, tassel, charm, buttons etc? Thanks in advance for any help. 🥰

Easy Mini Album.

This is my 1st proper attempt at creating an album!
Dear friends of mine had 2 granddaughters delivered within a few weeks of each other at Christmas, & I was suddenly inspired to make two little albums for them.
It's been a lot of fun!
A LOT of re-cutting despite my measuring many times before cutting. It's a trait of mine & absolutely nothing to do with the class. Frances's teaching is excellent & stopped me from making a disaster!

I chose to cover each page or section with its assigned paper before I put it in the album. I felt it would be easier this way.
I tell ya, avoiding being off by that hair's breadth is a doozy! 😆

The paper & ephemera are Kaisercraft Forest Friends. The set is still available but it's at least 2 years old, so it might be rare.

So here is album #1. 💕🐿🐇🦊🍃

***Update*** A baby was finally born 🥰. Foster James Geers arrived at 3:46am this morning. Both Mama and Foster are doing great, if not a little tired 😊 He was 8lbs, 1 oz and 21.5” long.

Soooo, here I am, waiting for my grandson to be born. He’s taking his own sweet time, lol. Mama was induced at 5a this morning and so far, not much is happening. However, I finished the baby book for his mama and daddy yesterday and can’t wait to give it to them 🥰!! Maybe I can update that he’s been born later this evening, or tomorrow morning, but for now, here are photos of his book 🩷🥰

Hi All I hope everyone had a great holidays. I’m so I haven’t finished my Snowieman book. I have been helping my girlfriend out with her husband and now helping her out with grieving the loss of her husband this past week. This is far as I got before and around the holidays.
I hope everyone in California around those fires are safe.

"Let's shake loose the January blahs after two weeks of holidaying by making an abstract folio. I have photos of some tropical animals I would love to showcase in a true "mini" album.  The first one I created with remains of a larger album (see the share here) and still had cardstock left over.  There are so many fun ways to let loose your creativity and go "wild" with this album."
