Mini Album by Liz Qualman
Yesterday on the blog our Design Team shared some ideas on how to use our 5 and 10 Things Pockets on a variety of projects. There just happens to be a super cute 5 Things Pocket in the new Fern and Forest Boy collection, so I thought I would share an idea for how to use it with our canvas or burlap mini albums. The pockets can be filled with the numbered cards that come with it, or you can add your own ideas like photos or other memorobilia.
I decided to use the 5 Things Pocket numbered cards to make tabs for my mini ablum to make it easy to turn the pages. I went with a very simple approach to this album and used the 6 x 6 paper pad for background papers and photo mats.
It's always fun to capture a favorite item of your child's. My son loves these shoes, so it will be fun to remember when his feet were this little, because I am sure he won't be wearing these long and they are just the cutest.
I also wanted to add some very personalized journaling since most of the pages of the album are so simple. This is actually the 12 x 12 Imagination Journal patterned paper, which I trimmed to fit the album. Using the 12 x 12 paper made the lines a lot easier to write on. I added some of the Favorite Pieces stickers to break up the writing and for more interest the page.
Please visit our online store to check out the new collection. Our shipping department is really quick, bet you could have it by early next week...
Have a wonderful day!
Oh this is absolutely adorable! I love the papers and how you used the numbers as tags. Your son is adorable too!!

Your mini album has provided several great ideas for scrapbooking photos of my 3 year old grandson. And this paper collection is perfect for these photos. I agree with Linda, it has been difficult finding papers for "boy" pages. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

It is so hard to find really adorable boy paper these days. Most of the time it is just browns, blues, boring colors, so seeing your bright colors is wonderful.

I've never made a mini album and never quite saw the need. . .until now! This one is just so precious. Of course, look at that face! I'm scrapping my 3-year-old granddaughter. This would be a great project to do for her! TFS!
