Okay, I went craft crazy yesterday and made a seriously easy and SUPER cute mini album if I do say so myself, and I do. :) I had so much fun making all of the different sized/shaped pages I definitely know for sure that I will be making more of these. I may go on a mini album binge.
Warning this is long....as in a picture for all of the pages and me blabbing about them long, so to shorten your agony if you really don't care about the details, skip to the bottom.
I used a mix of papers but mostly from the Nana's Kitchen and Whimsy stack by DCWV. This mini would be a great use of scrap paper.
All of the various pages bound together before I put the cover on. I simply used small eyelets in all of the pages to have a place to thread (with a threaded needle) through white embroidery floss. Super easy and the repeated opening and closing of the pages won't pull the thread through the paper with time due to the eyelets.
This first page is a matchbook style page. It allows the recipient to stick a note or picture inside and close it up.
This page is actually a piece of scrap from the Madly in Love stack by DCWV backed with some purple cardstock.
Hand written LOVE and some stamping with embellies, nothing fancy.
This page I actually divided to created two pockets for the slide out pages and it is the one page I managed to put the eyelets on backwards...LOL!

Finally, I told you it was going to be a ton of photos. The mini book all closed up with the ribbon.
I love, love how this mini came together, how easy it was and how super fun it was changing up all of the pages. A beginner could definitely pull this off.
Get out there and be active and if you prefer a more sedate pace, craft, use your hands and brain. :)
