Mini Albums can be QUICK and EASY!

Take a little photo shoot with some Christmas accessories and a few supplies and you can have a quick and easy gift or remembrance of a Holiday.

I just love putting together a mini album. I love that it is usually centered around one theme or occasion and it doesn't have to have a whole lot of photos to still pack the "wow" factor.

I started with a very simple paper mache' accordian album by Melissa Frances. All of my supplies were from my I Am A Scrapaholic November club kit. I love kit clubs because someone else has done all of the work to put supplies together that match and go together. All I need to do now is sit down and use them.

I wanted this album to be very simple in style so I used a large photo for each fold in the accordian. Then I only had to add one piece of patterned paper to each fold, adding the photo on top of that. I kept the front very simple with mostly my photo being the focus.

My main decoration is the first, inside page. The chipboard snowflake was coated with Platinum Stickles and I put a swath of white paint on the patterned paper so that my rhinestone word, Wonder, would show up against the patterned paper.

I didn't want any journaling but I did use alphabet stickers and some rub-on accents to be my finishing touches on the pages.

Thank you for visiting Pursuit Of CraftYness, Linda
