A Pion -Linnaeus Botanical Journal Mini Album

 “What I like about photographs is that they capture a 

moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.” 

― Karl Lagerfeld

  A  few weeks ago, I showed you all how to create a secondary version binding for a mini album  and this is the  final creation of that  tutorial using the  Pion paper Linnaeus Botanical Journal. This mini album holds well over 50 pictures with so many little pockets and folds and hidden compartments. 

In order to complete this mini album, it was 2 sheets each of of the 6x6 papers, 1 sheet of the 12x12 papers  - except for the  Notes, tags and borders - that was  2 of each .  I inked all edges with the mini distress ink from Timmy - Tea Dye and with the  use of  Prima flowers and Petaloo from the  pinks to the  purples another  mini album created. 

The way I  complete a mini album is a process ... but  it  is one page at a time with the flips and  folds and  each page  takes me  at  least  one  long  night to  complete ,  so  it is a 2 week  process for  me from beginning to end, but  it  keeps something on my desk that I can  remain creative with  for  that time  period and  creating them is  really  soothing  to my soul .  So sit  back and  here is a  quick glimpse to the  inside pages .

Made with Love - Mini Album

 I make mini albums, but not like this one. This one is extra special with a lot of learning curves. I needed to grow a little and decided that the cover  to my album needed to be case. The fighting, the arguments with  the paper and measurements I had were ridiculous, but I won the war and  created this mini album using  the  Epiphany Collection by Prima Marketing. 

Its magical inside with  being to hold over 100+ pictures and  lots of  hidden  flips and folds that even I have  forgotten about ...   here is a  little peek:  

Mini Album Card

There is a cute  poem I found on Pinterest that  was perfect  for a special card  to create form my Niece that is expecting a little baby bundle of  joy in November. 

Erica has been  running a mid month  challenge on creating unique mini albums and  her inspiration  piece is so awesome ... being inspired by it I wanted to create something a little   different and with the special occasion  around  the corner and the poem- it was a perfect fit. Using  Little Darlings G45 collection and a little of this and that,my inspiration project  for the challenge.  

For each verse there is a page  

A wee bit of  dirt

and a devilish grin …

Curious eyes and

spaghetti sauce chin

A dollop of mud

 behind his right ear,

and a handful  of worms in his pocket I fear

You see his knees

 through the

holes in his jeans

He likes ice cream and won’t eat beans.

He’s made of mudpies

and bubble gum kisses

and wonder at Christmas

 and birthday wishes

And a heap of giggles   and wiggles and love

These are the things   

 Little boys                  

are made of
