Welcome to our June bloghop featuring Mini Albums! If you see anything you would like to purchase, please contact your local Close to my Heart consultant!
We hope you will leave comments on our posts as we love to get your feedback, whether it is something you like or a technique you would like to learn more about. Now on to our hop!
I you have just come from Donna's blog, you are in the right place! But since this is a circular hop, you can start anywhere! If you get lost along the way, just return to Michelle's blog where you will find the complete list of hoppers.
I really love our Picture my Life cards and although I have used them previously IN a mini album, I have never used to actually MAKE an album! I saw this on Pinterest (I can't remember who posted it and now can't find it. If I do, I will post the person's name.) and really liked it. It is a quick easy way to make a little album! For this album, I used the Seaside PML cards, Assortment and Complements.

For this album, I used the Seaside PML cards, Assortment and Complements.
Each page is a 4X6 PML card and the pockets and tags inside are the smaller 3X4 PML cards. I attached the "pages" to each other with our Gold Dot washi tape leaving about a 1/8" gap between pages to allow for some embellishment. NOTE: If you want to round the washi tape corners on the pages, do it as you go. I thought I would do it when the album was finished and it was not an easy task!
Here, I layered several of the Seaside Assortment to cover the ship's wheel that is actually on this card.
I used another sticker from the Seaside Assortment to cover the ice cream cones on this card and popped it up with some thin foam tape for a little added dimension.
On the last page, I added a piece of Lagoon cardstock that I had distressed, then layed a few of the stickers from the Assortment as well as the starfish from the Complements.
The next few pictures just show the smaller cards that were used as tags. I want to add some sort of embellishment to them but not sure what to add since there is really not a lot of room.
