another folded mini album...

I just love these folded minialbums, because they are easy to make, yet you fill it with everything you need. Here is a birthday present i have made for a special person. I put her picture on the middle tag, and on the other two tags left room for journaling, for her to write something to remember her birthday. I put embelishments on, such as rubons, my favorite :) , ribbon to put the whole album closed, pearls, journaling tag, and the left tag has an acordian book( or whatever they name is) on it so she can write some journaling on. One great idea i got from these mini album is to have it as a wedding present. Usually when we go to weddings, we give money as gifts, because the couple can buy exactly what they want. But to make it a little more  personal rather than just give money in an envelope, you create one of these albums, put the money in of the pockets, and greetings and congratulations on tags for the other two pockets. Lovely little mini album :)

first mini album

My very first mini album that i did ever since i started with scrapbooking in march this year, was a mini album made out of 12x 12 pattered paper. I got the idea from desdichaedo at a life on the {Scrap}beach, she calls it Scrapbook Mini Album: 12”x12” Tri-Fold Pocket Album. Check it out on her youtube chanel for a tutorial on how to make one. It is really fun and simple to make one.

The first one i made was to my hubby who was ill in flu, i decided to chear her up with a sweet mini folded album with tags, i wrote cute messages and sweet poems to make her smile although she was going through a tough time and some chocolate aswell, which is my favorite sweet. I wrote on the tags the messages and put on some rub-ons which is my favorite emelishment, and stampted on the front page get well soon. Also put some swirls and puttons on to make it extra cute.
