Last summer Jack & I traveled to Washington D.C. & spent a week seeing the very best of our nation's historical monuments. I wanted to put the photos in a special place that we could look at often. I decided to use a Close To My Heart's My Creations Banner as a mini album. I love how it came out. So in honor of Flag Day I thought I'd share it.Banners are so popular now. If you look around you will see them on cards, scrapbook pages, in party stores, advertisements... all over the place.
I used our "oh so fun" Fanfare Paper Pack, Dimensional Elements & lots of ribbon, brads and buttons.
If you know me at all... you know I LOVE creating mini albums and teaching others how to make them. Someone recently commented to me that she liked mini albums but really didn't know what to do with them once they are completed. Let me tell you what I told her. While some of the mini albums I create end up as gifts, many (like the one shown here) are mine to keep. Find a pretty basket, add a pretty liner (a few cloth napkins will do the trick) and add a few (or all) of your favorite mini albums. Set on your coffee table, end table or on an easy to see shelf of your entertainment center. Friends, house guests & relatives will love glancing at them. Plus, they make great conversation starters.
Hooray for mini albums!
