Mini Albums

Another project finished from this post. These were gift albums that only needed a few final touches but it is now safe to share. This is a fold out mini album from Little Yellow Bicycle from a few years ago. It came on a double 12x12 that was folded and you just punch the album out. It had the embellishments included. I did one as a project somewhere and then saw them in the store on clearance so picked up 5 more. I hung onto them for several years (not exactly sure why) but then decided it was a great time to add fun pictures of the boys from Fall, Winter 2011 to make a nice gift for Grandparents and family (and one for myself, of course).

The middle flips open and I added a picture on the tag. These were quite easy and fun.

Ten Things - projects to finish

It's the 10th and time to link up with Shimelle for Ten Things. So here is my To Do list of scraping projects to finish/work on in the near future.


1. A Valentine mini album. I had to reprint one of the pictures and have a few other finishing touches left.

2. One Month at a Time 2011 (a Get It Scrapped  series). I have 3 or 4 months that need journaling added. would really like to get this project finished before 2013!!

3. Album kit. I have had this album kit for a few years and now have a plan to use it. This will be an early 2013 project. 

4. Start Logan's preschool pages.
5. Finish Aiden's preschool pages. Here are a couple from his 3's class that I've done recently.

 6. These mini albums which are gifts and so on the top of my list. Also why I don't want to share any details.

 7. Family Weddings albums. I have two weddings to add and a title page.

8. Project Life 2012. This of course doesn't end till the year does but I have a few weeks to catch up on and would like to finish it up quickly after the year ends. I'm also working on a plan for how I want to approach it next year.

9. 2011 Annual Highlights layout to exchange with my SIL. I have all year to do this and still wait to the last minute. I did get a good start on it at a retreat over the weekend so hope to finish it up very soon. 

10. Other unfinished Layouts! I have layouts in various stages of completions. Some need just a little to finish them up others need a lot. Here is a layout that has been on and off my table for a couple of weeks (partly due to Holiday visitors and partly getting stuck and working on something else for a while). 

My latest layouts

Here are a few pictures of the mini album from Aiden’s Birthday party last year. I was trying to keep it simple and repeated the design throughout.


I love how this turned out. This is my first time using the divided page to include extra pictures. Love my 3 ringed albums so I can do this. Now I’m so so afraid to tackle those holiday pictures. :)



This is just a fun layout I did for a challenge here.
