A while ago I blogged about Ali Edward's new book Sharing Your Story: Recording Life's Details with Mini Books and I finally got the book! I devoured the content the same night and was filled with inspiration from all the different types of mini albums that I started my own. I also posted a sneak peak of the cover here. Mini albums can be any shape, size, or material you want and there is no right or wrong way to put together a mini album. As I am creating my project I consistently refer back to Ali's book to see what other ideas I might be able to incorporate into my own project.
Shaun and I have been to so many places over the last five months that sometimes it is a little difficult to keep track of when, where, and what we have done so far. I decided to put together a mini-album for him of our last four months together; something he can flip through whenever he feels like it or when he forgets what we did when.
I mainly used the September monthly kit from A Million Memories "Little House in the Woods" (designed by Jennifer Findlay), which includes the following products:
