To celebrate having a new baby this Fathers' Day, I gave my husband a Mini Album with photos of all our girls in it. Jayne, my Stampin' Up! upline, showed us how to make the album using patterned paper, then I added the photos and decorated it with stamped images and rub-ons. Using the rub-ons was great for getting pages completed quickly, which was pretty essential given that Annabelle was born less than 2 weeks before Fathers' Day!
One of the features of this album that I like is that it has pockets with pull out pages/ tags inside them - I always love interactive books. I've used jumbo eyelets and ribbon on the edges of those pages to help with the pulling out process.
Let me know if you're interested in learning how to make the album, and I can put together a class, either in person or online, to show you how it's done!
