A Mini Book for a Young Friend

First, let me say that I'm sorry in advance for not rotating these pics before I uploaded them! Hopefully no one will get a sore neck looking at these pics! :-) I made this mini album for a friend. I cut the tag from the Beyond Birthdays cricut cartridge. I bought the blank, green chipboard album at my LSS in Tiffin, OH before we moved to Texas. The name "JOY" was cut from the Lyrical Letters cricut cart. The ticket stamps on the inside was from a Close to My Heart stamp set called Just the Ticket. I love this set - I guess that's why I took a picture of each completed stamp! :-) The ticket I stamped on was cut from Fabulous Finds, as was the mini library pocket. The checklist was also a CTMH stamp set called "Checklist". I used some misc. rub-ons to embellish the pages.

I used the Cricut Sentimentals cartridge for the postage stamp cut on the front of each card and used my Gypsy to cut them so I could unlink the H and W so it would be 3.75" square. The valentine cuts for the fro...

If you just happened upon my blog, be sure to go back to the beginning at Creations With Kathryn . She is our wonderful host for this hop! On to my project: I decided to make a Spring mini album to showcase a few pictures that I took at the Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX. What is more telling of Spring than flowers?! I used the Card/Tag feature on the Paisley Cricut cartridge and used paper from the DCWV Spring cardstack.
