May's Album Ideas

I love doing mini albums! They are fun, quick and easy - a formula for success for a busy mom of three. May's album is a set of chipboard squares with a binding ring. I used my scraps to cover this album and showcase a series of pictures of my husband and daughter, Miri, at the beach. I love how the patterns come together to give this album a feel of young and old, contemporary and old-world, which conveyed the message I wanted to send of Nathan helping Miri experience the ocean for the first time.

Tearing pieces of paper to attach and layer on different pages adds texture and depth. I used distressing ink (walnut color - my favorite!) on the edges of each page - this unifies the album and pulls it together. Tying my leftover ribbon around the ring finishes it up. Pull out 4-8 pictures, along with your May kit and have some fun!
