So here it is finally! This is my first paper bag mini-album and my first attempt at a video. If you suffered through it--thank you! It was a little shaky and the camera was jumping all over the place(that wouldn't have anything to do with the person holding it I'm sure), but a lot of fun to make! I've decided to invest in a little bloggie recorder to {hopefully} make better videos in the future. No promises though--they might still stink...
This post is a little pic heavy too. I wanted to include some still shots for those that maybe don't like sitting through videos, especially ones that bad:)
This mini was supposed to be a Mother's Day gift for my mother-in-law LAST year. Oops. Looks like it's going to make a perfect gift THIS year! I had so much fun making this! I think I've found a new love for mini-albums. I've got at least 4 or 5 planned for the near future.
I used all sorts of goodies from my stash to make this album so it would be nearly impossible for me to list everything out. One major thing I forgot to mention on the video is almost all of the paper is K & Co. There's a teeny bit of PTI paper in there as well. If there's anything you specifically want to know- manufacturer etc, just ask in the comments.
Have a great week!

Your album is absolutely beautiful!! Is there a tutorial of how to bind the album? I love this look and would love to try it...its such a professional finished look instead of the notebook rings or cord. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your blog from Pinterest and just love this album! I was looking for ideas to use on an album that I am planning to do for my mother, who died in 1998 of breast cancer. This album looks perfect for what I want to do because I don't have a lot of photos to work with, so it will mostly be my favorite memories. I am so glad I came across this! Its a beautiful album!
