I {heart} Vintage

I've been creating mini albums. Lots of mini albums. I love using the Build-a-Book pages because I can mix and match the shapes to create "peek-a-boo" pages. For this "I Love Vintage" mini book, I used a different shape for each page. I put this book together in one evening - another reason to love mini albums!



You can see a little of what's on the next page to entice you to see more!


I designed each page to highlight a different vintage embellishment that I like to incorporate into my projects: ephemera, photos, ribbon and lace, flowers, buttons, and jewelry.




I used my ordinary scrapbook adhesives to adhere my paper and embellishments to the chipboard pages.

I bound the album using the brown spiral rings to match the aged and distressed look of my book. I tied ribbons onto the rings to add another embellishment to the front.

Make your own mini album about your favorite collection. But I warn you - once you get started, you'll be hooked!
