Proverbs 3 Envelope Mini Album

Happy day Everybody!

I made my first envelope mini album, Yay!!!  I have seen so many videos on different ways of making this but I kept my first one simple.  I made it out of envelopes from Kenneth Hagin's Ministry, http://www.rhema.org/. The blue envelopes where a perfect color for the base of the album.  The chipboard covers are made from granola boxes.  I thought the idea of the granola boxes and the paper pack went well together.  Anywho, here are some quick pics of the album and the tags.
.










The album tags will fit a 3x5 photo easily without cropping.  The front and back of the tags are the same throughout the album.  I used brown card stock as hinges to connect the envelopes together.  I really kinda like this album.  I think this will be a great little gift for a man due to the colors and simplicity of the album.  When I finish the embellishments I will take some more pics and show you all.

Thanks for stopping by the blog!!!

Until next time...Challenge yourself to try something new!

The Last of the Brown Bag Minis

Hi Everybody, Happy Thursday!

Okay, so I know I have made quite a few of these Brown Bag Greeting card mini albums but I promise this will be my last one for awhile.  I made this one using the Angelica Paper Pad by Marcella for K&Company.  I love how vibrant these colors are.  This mini can fit 11+ photos and/or journaling spots.

 I used some flat back bling and antique lace.  The flower is a die cut flower from the collection.  I added three tags for photos/journaling spots.  They measure 4 1/4"x5".

These three large mats measure 5 1/8"x6".

I love the back of this album.  I turned the entire back into a pocket for more photos, journal tags, mementos, you name it.

So here it is.  My last brown bag mini for a while.  I really pray you have enjoyed seeing them as much as I have making them.  

So until the next blog... Find a way to make lemonade with life's lemons.
