While I'm not really one to make mini albums, I have really enjoyed both the process and the finished results of this mini. To that end, I just might *maybe* convinced that mini's really aren't that bad and are worth creating more of. If somebody else comes and dusts them!
Henry is the elf who has been visiting us at the Lee-Bishop household for the past 3 years. This mini documents his adventures and antics for the year 2013. I created it using primarily Chic Tags papers, stamps, tags and the Decemeber exclusive kit and Core'dinations cardstock. The base of the album is a Lori Whitlock cut file.
The cover is fairly simple. The original tag would have over powered the cover of the album so I trimmed it down and printed the original "The adventures of" further down the tag so that it would work to the size I wanted. Having removed the aqua trim to make it fit, I created by own with Core'dinations and a die. Henry didn't just have adventures, he had EPIC adventures!
I removed the ribbon and expanded the book to take pictures so that you could get a better view without my fingers holding the pages open and better see the detail without shadows. As you can see, Henry was quite the trouble maker and had a lot of fun visiting Nikolas and Mia! From sack races to being the "Prince and the Pea", a game of giant pick up sticks with the wrapping paper rolls... Mum wasn't overly keen on cleaning that one up...
Each page is a pocket and I will put the full detail story on tags. I really would like the kids to journal on the pages with the pictures hence the lack of writing there. We just haven't had a spare moment with swimming and basketball.
Love my Chic Tags!! Amazing! The December exclusive kit was just the thing for this mini album! It coordinated remarkably with the Good Tidings collection and various other older pieces I have in my stash.
So adorable. I'm a fan of Chic Tags too - and Elle's!
