Well I have finally finished my Mini Album project ready for the APRIL Photo A Day.........I loved following along with Annette's Instructions......here
Has anyone else been playing along....the best part for me was to be able to allow myself time to PLAY and have FUN using product from my stash.......creating something FUN and DIFFERENT just for ME!!
I didn't have enough chipboard for my covers like Annette did so I improvised by using 2 Scrapping Clearly Acrylic Alum Pages for my front and back.....they come in a pack of 4 so I still have another 2 left over to make another Album.......yeh!
ok....I then used the rings from this pack and was delighted to use up a mix of my flowers.....I alternated the sizes.....medium and small...then also added some purple material strips...because these were laying on my scrap table......LOL!
Used my Donna Dewbury Personal Rotary Cutter for these strips along with my Fiskars mat......
......sure had fun loading these on to the rings....and using up some of my stash at the same time....gotta' love that!
I want to thank Annette for offering this fun Mini Album on here....has anyone else had a play with this?
I know Dawn has also been playing along.....so it will be great to see different takes on Annette's Mini Album.
I must say I loved all the coloring in, the rounding of the pages corners,threading flowers on the rings,and using glue instead of double sided tape to join the pages as I usually do....loved the whole idea of gluing and then adding a heavy weight....the pages become much stronger.
Not such a great pic above as I caught the light reflection....but you get the idea....and I sure needed this fun project to do at the moment...so thanks Annette!
So who else is joining Kim as she takes us through the month of April with a Photo A DAY?

It looks fabulous lyn!! I'm glad you enjoyed and found the time to play, ready for tomorrow to start taking photos ;0). I haven't ever worked with a clear acrylic album, so i will have to give that a go - like the fact that you've mixed both acrylic covers with paper/cardstock insides, and you doodled and coloured in too!! Fun hey? thanks for sharing. annette :0)
