Large, traditional scrapbooks are great, but
sometimes you want something smaller – something themed and something you can
take places and show off! That’s why the
talented ladies on the Cross Canada Blog Hop are featuring Mini Albums this
month! Take a hop through and see the
amazing and mini creations my sister CTMH consultants have put together!
ABOUT THE HOP
·
This is a circular hop so you can start here
and go all the way around.

If you want to start the hop in the East and
move cross-country to the West, start with this blog.
HERE'S MY PROJECT: First Birthday Hip Pics
Album
My eldest son Sam turned 1 before I
started scrapbooking, so I had all the pictures from his party in a cheapy 4x6
photo album. Now that he’s 14, it was
about time for me to create a special keepsake for that celebration.
I used the Hip Pics album because it’s
perfect for 4x6 photos, and the pocket pages make it easy to just slip the
photos inside. And the Confetti Wishes paper is great for any birthday!
Got a horizontal
photo? No problem. Just crop it down to 4x4 and mount it on a
piece of cardstock. Is your 4x6 picture one that you don't want to crop? Mount a piece of cardstock over the pre-cut window, and then add your photo. It's easy to accommodate all of your favourite pictures.
Don't feel limited by the windows that are there. You can do so much with cardstock and a little creativity. Don't forget to add paper and embellishments to corners, sides and the bottom to make the album feel finished.
I am really happy to have captured these memories with this mini album. As we go through the teenage years, I know I will pull it out often to remind me of when he was CUTE. Tee hee.

Sheri, Beautiful work and I am sure that Sam will really appreciate this mini. I really like how you incorporated so many different picture sizes into the album!
ReplyDeleteFabulous & Fun! Love your layering of your papers and what great photos as well!
ReplyDeleteI love how you didn't limit the photos to the window openings, and that you used larger photos, and even tipped the photos on an angle. Great album, full of Cute memories.
