Mini album for my sister, Amanda

Both my sisters came to visit in May, so I decided to make them each a mini album with the pictures we took. This is the one I made for my sister Amanda. She received it this week.

I started with a kit, but added a bunch of goodies from my stash to it. I didn't like the accordion mini book that came in the K & Co. kit, so I cut it apart and used different sizes of paper to make the album. I really like how it turned out, very artsy and mish mash-y.  :)

For the cover, I stamped a sentiment that I really liked. BUT it didn't stamp very well. So I stamped it again on a sticker and layered it over my mess up. All better!  :) I cut up 3 hair rubber bands and tied them together to hold the album closed. I thought it added to the casual feel of the album.

The green trim on the left is from scraps from the kit. I put the front cover on the back and vice versa, so I had to cover up the glue from where I took the book apart.  ;)

I added stickers and buttons

The owl sticker was pretty cool, but he needed something else. So I added blue rhinestones. The "favorite" scrap was wrapped around the album when I took it out of the package. I thought it was cool so I cut it up and added it to the inside. I made sure to have flowers and ribbons sticking out to add to the randomness.

Left page hidden. Both photos taken at David's Bridal.

I added chipboard embellishments, and a tag that I wrapped around the right page.

The page on the left is a transparency, so I made sure to line up the photos so you wouldn't seen the back of either.

Here you can see that it's clear.

The page on the right is 2 journal blocks that I glued together.

I attached the little clip on the left, and added a flower brad to the sticker on the right.

A jumbo sticker on the back and the album is done!

Thanks for looking!
