Mini Album Monday #23- "10 Things I Love About You" Album

Over the years I've made my hubby several mini albums as gifts.
I have to admit, though, that I haven't made him one in quite some time.
Fast forward to today- I'll show you the one I made him for Valentine's day.

 

 

Here's the cover.

 

 

Here's the interior.

It's made from a file folder.

   

 

I started by folding the file folder. I followed the instructions found here.

 

 

I only used two pieces of 12"x 12" pattern paper- and not even whole pieces- to make this.

I trimmed the first to fit on each of the outer panels.

 

 

Then I trimmed the second to fit on only the lower portion of the interior pages.

I plan to add photos up top, so I didn't bother to put any paper there.

 

 

I put a photo on each panel.

 

Then I added tags in each pocket,

 and journaling spots on the bottom portion of the pockets.
I added one reason to each tag and each journaling spot for a total of
10 things that I love about my hubby.

I went through and added embellishments

 

 to both the photos and the journaling cards.

 

Finally, I added my title.

 

To keep the book closed, I used a piece of ribbon.

 

This is a very easy book to make and it doesn't require much to make it.

It sure would make a delightful Valentine's Day gift for your hubby, your kids,

or even for grandparents.

 

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.
