Family Mini Book....

I had these great intentions of making this cute little mini photo book for a friend, but then the more I worked on it, the more I started thinking I just couldn't give it away! lol
I have had the idea for this book for a few years and finally decided to put it all together. I do really love how it turned out, but in the end I am not keeping the mini, it is going to another great home.

For this mini I used the stack the deck binding system I found on you tube while watching videos from my sisters scrapper. I also made my pages using the example found on another video from my sisters scrapper, on you tube. The paper I used was a 6X6 paper pack called Fact and Fiction and all the little embellishments were from this same line.

The family tree is a sticker that came in a pack that I picked up at Micheal's. It is one of the only embellishments that didn't come with the fact and fiction line that I picked up at Joannes. It sure does work really well with the theme of the mini though.

 

This little tricycle was probably my favorite embellishment. I topped the page with the same pendants as on the cover and some washi tape across the bottom.

I really liked the paper in this line. It had embellishments preprinted on it and that sure is a time saver. I also used some rub on stitches and bakers twine on these pages.

I have this spool of fake pearls and I can't ever figure out how to use them, heaven forbid I throw anything out. Anyway, I cut them to length and used mini dots to adhere them to the top of this page and I loved how it turned out. 

Each page has a pull out photo mat for added space for photos or journaling. The reverse side of these mats are lined to make journaling more convenient. 

Thanks for stopping in to look.........
