i was feeling creative. . .but i was quickly running out of time before i had to do kid pick-up. . .so i started looking around my desk and came across an envelope of pictures. They were pictures from my mom from Ryan's camping trip with my dad last year - his very first camping trip. My mom printed and cropped them small - like 3x4...perfect for a mini book and i was sure i had some lying around my scrap area.
after a quick search, i was amazed at how many "ready for pictures" mini books i had on hand. i pulled out a few. . .thinking about the pictures I also had on hand. i set this one aside - knowing i had several pictures of myself lying around that would "work" - not perfection - but "done".
i knew i had a tag book somewhere. . .lo and behold i found a 4 album kit from when Donna Downey was on QVC several years ago. as is my nature - the kit was virtually untouched.
perfect little blue tag book - i counted my pictures and the tags - a perfect match - i made a plan. this little book is done except for some journaling now. I want to have Ryan write something on one of the tags.
mini books are a great way to get a bunch of photos scrapped rather quickly using products in your stash.
what's your favorite mini book? will you please share it here?
catch you soon -
Can you please explain this mini book? Sounds like something I might have time to do. Ok, not really, but I want to do it. Did you do a tutorial on this already? I remember something.... You are so cute and creative. I hope your boys treasure these gifts for years and years!
