Good morning friends! I'm excited to share this adorable mini album with you. I gotta admit, I'm running low on die cuts and embellishments so I decided to get creative. I had a good amount of patterned paper in my stash so I thought I'd finally put my metal dies to good use...I made my own embellishments.

To begin, I grabbed some patterned paper from the Here and There and Journal Stories Collection. These collections go together perfectly! I ran some paper through my Sizzix with the metal dies to create a few embellishments that I may or may not use.

Then, I grabbed a few more papers and my mini album metal die to create the pages. :)

I put the papers in the order I wanted and then binded the mini album with a piece of string.

Now...the fun part! Adding the photos and embellishments to the pages. I had so much fun making this album for my son, Edward. He and his friend went to Hershey Park and few weeks ago and they had a blast!

Stamps are a great way to tell bits and pieces of your story. I used them throughout the entire album.

You may not have noticed how I stamped the "to do" and "to see" sentiment all over the page in gray ink. I love how much it add to the page without over-doing it.

I added the journal card to the right side with a scalloped border die and then embellished the left side of the page using die cuts and a clear sticker.
