Mini Album Monday: Animal Crackers Folio

Happy Monday All! It has been a busy one here in the TLC house hold over the last few days. Our little man grew again, and we are quickly finding out that no matter how high we place something, how many safety locks we put on cabinets, or how many ways we try to gate him in, he is mastering all things mischievous. On the sweet side, however, we are almost positive that our baby boy just learned his first word..."DADDY!" My husband was playing peek-a-boo with the little dude. When, all of a sudden, our son popped up from behind the couch cushions and clear-as-day shouted "DADDY"!!! We of course lost our marbles and clapped and cheered in awe.... crazy moments :)

Anyway, on to our mini album of the day...

I have added some cutouts from the paper collection and attached them with 3D glue dots to give them so dimension.

You may recognize the paper patterns from my Animal Crackers mini album a couple Mondays ago. I have A LOT of scraps from this collection. So, you may see another project or two in the future using the same papers. I'm attempting to use up some of my old paper stash to make room for all the new things that are being released in 2015! Oh how I LOVE paper!!! :)

This is the view of the inside of my folio album.

On the left is a pocket for journaling, tickets, maps, photos, or any special object that you wish to keep with the photos.

On the right of the album is a waterfall style photo keeper. There are seven folds each with two places for photos.

One of the reasons that I wanted to start this blog is to challenge myself to try new things. I had never made a mini album prior to beginning this blog. So, I spend a lot of time searching youtube and Pinterest for inspiration and new techniques. This project was inspired by a project by My Sisters Scrapper. If you get a chance, checkout their youtube videos.

Thank you coming by today! Hope you enjoyed the project. Have a lovely day :)
