Today I get to share! and I'm bring you a SUMMERY Mini Album!



It started with a set of kraft DIY pockets from Simple Stories. I arranged them and bound them to create a little mini album with pockets. The front of the album has been adorned with Simple Stories Good Day Sunshin and May Arts Burlap twine. There's also a little UmWowStudio chipboard that has been adhered with Xyron Adhesives, and a Viva Las VegaStamps! stamp. The white paint on the cover is Gesso by BLICK. 


Inside I've continued to use the Good Day Sunshine stickers from SS, but also used some cards cut from the 12x12 sheets, and Insta-squares to mount my photos to. The photos have been adhered with Xyron adhesive, and the pulls to get them out of the tags are May Arts Stitched Sheer, and Twill Chevron.


And because the summer isn't over yet, I've prepped the back couple of pockets, ready to receive more fun family photos! Be sure to visit the other girls participating today.. visit May Arts, Xyron, and Simple Stories, too!

Leave all the comments you can because there are PRIZES to be won!!!

  2. Love the idea of the little pockets - and being ready for whatever new items you want to keep for memories. It's not a neat and fussy album - just fun and representative of a great summer.
