As we scramble to fit in the last days of summer fun {school begins here next week} I took a few moments yesterday to pause and think about how truly wonderful our life is and documented a few words in a mini album. Hi all, Monika here today to share yet another mini album with you. This is my last month with MME and I wanted to share something extra special.
Supplies Used | Kate & Co. Cambridge Court: Chevron Paper, Striking Paper, Bouquet Paper, Lovely Day Paper, Bright Florals Paper, Mini Florals Paper, Chipboard Elements, Enamel Dots; Find Your Wings and Fly: Alpha & Word Stickers, Other Supplies: adhesive, foam dots, Sharpie, paper doily, binding machine
This month I am using the Kate & Co. Cambridge Court collection, focusing on the polka dotted patterned papers for my mini album. I loved the graphic appeal of those dots and the fabulous colors are so fun. Keeping it clean and simple, I scored my papers at the 6" mark and folded it over to form my pages.
For the cover, I used the chipboard elements and lots and lots of foam adhesive to make each layer of chipboard a little higher than the layer below.
Because it's fun to have different sized pages in your mini albums, try trimming the journaling cards and placing them between your larger pages.The extra journaling room is an added bonus. For the 4x6 card, I scored and folded it in the middle and chose photos that were then {2011} and now {2013} to reinforce the theme.
Sprinkling a few enamel dots around your page ups the cuteness factor, too!
What can I say, we're still crazy about each other after all these years. We've been lucky in love for 15 years now and looking forward to the next 15!
I've enjoyed my year with you all sharing my first love in scrapbooking, the mini album. Working and creating with all the colorful, lively, inspiring collections from My Mind's Eye has been a true privilege and such a thrilling experience for me. I hope that in some way, I've inspired you to try your crafty hand at making one or two for yourself. Always remember how wonderful life is and find joy in whatever you choose to do!
Have Fun and Craft On,
