fresh mini album gift


We had so much fun visiting friends in the midwest between Christmas and New Year's! They were good friends that I hadn't seen in a long time, and one was in town all the way from Germany. She is like a whirlwind and I figured that I would make her a little album with the pictures that I had since there is no way she'll have time to do it!

This is me and my mr. in front of the Milwaukee art museum on New Year's Day. We proceeded to walk back to our hotel in cold and windy weather that made my legs numb!


The album was quick and easy - just using some acid-free mod podge to adhere the cardstock to some chipboard. Then cutting those pieces and the interior pages to size. Punched everything with my Crop-A-Dile, and stuck it all together with some fun green loose leaf rings. I picked the foam Thickers from American Crafts because they were more lightweight than the glitter ones. I have no idea if it made a difference in postage - but this baby went all the way to Germany.

And the mini album had a matching card using a few things that I had sitting out on the crafting table: a Basic Grey rub-on, scrap of ribbon, scalloped punch from EK Success, paper from the mini, and my favorite copper glitter.
