Mini Album ~ School Memories {1st Post}

I love to create in the 12 x 12 format but due to space in

our little ole house there just isn't room to do that at this time.

Instead I make mini albums to give out as gifts.

I made this one with assorted Cricut cuts and

design paper I have collected over the years.

*Cricut cartridges used Locker Talk, My Community, Kate's ABCs and Wild Card 2.
{Cuts from my stash so  not sure of the sizes}
*Cricut Markers
*Design paper from my stash.

*TIP for Top Tip Tuesday* Write down the cartridge name and sizes of cuts when you cut out multiples of something and store it with the cuts so you will be able to have the info when you use them at a later date.
*This tip also comes in handy if you copy digital images or break apart stamp sets*

May your day always be filled with love.

Crafty hugs,

Mini Album ~ Thanksgiving Memories

I made another mini album but this time I used this pretty falling leaves design paper.
I used the same embossing folder and this time change the base color to dark brown.
Once again I added the photo frames to both sides of the album and have pictures with the belly band accenting the two different ways the album front can be.
Wouldn't this be a great Thanksgiving hostess gift?
I can just imagine pictures of loved ones gathered around the Thanksgiving table as they give thanks for all of their blessings.
I really miss those magical times at my Mom & Dad's with the whole family all together in one place sharing each others company.
I wish we had taken pictures of those moments so I could enjoy them today.

{Crafty Supply List}
*Accordion album pages are 4 x 4 in.
*Photo frame/deco frames are 3.75 x 3.75
*Bellyband 10 x 1 in.
*Photo frames embossed using the Sizzix Botanical Swirl folder.
*Design paper from the Recollections Night and Fall paper pad.
*Scalloped oval cut from the Spellbinders Big Scalloped Ovals Large die set.
*Oval cut from the Spellbinders Media Mixage Ovals One die set.
*Leaf deco was cut from the design paper.
*Stazon Timber Brown stamp pad.

May your day always be filled with love.
