Today's mini is a DT project I made for Authentique. I've used the 'Cuddle' collection both Boy & Girl for these minis. I created the Baby Girl mini first & loved the simplicity of it so much that I created one for my own little guy--and that's how I ended up with the 'twin' minis. :-)
The mini albums measure 5 3/4" inches by 2 3/4" inches & have a 3/8" inch spine. The inside is composed of zig zag accordion style pages that can hold up to 11 wallet size photos (3" x 2" inch photos). There are two pockets within the mini along with 2 tags in each pocket for journaling purposes.
For my mini, I've included photos of my son from his first year only. So they are mostly baby pictures of him.
The covers of the mini are made from heavy weight 110 lbs black card stock. It's an alternative to thin chipboard & I prefer it for this type of small mini. The covers are still sturdy & I don't have to take out the rotary cutter since I can cut the card stock right on my regular paper trimmer.
I've decorated the cover with a mini flocked teddy bear, fabric flower, heart shaped rhinestone & a small spray of mulberry paper flowers. The sentiment is part of the sticker sheet from the 'Cuddle' collection.
Here's the girl version. I've kept the decoration on the cover pretty much the same for both minis.
The Baby Girl mini is for sale in my Etsy shop, 'The Kraft Nook'. If interested feel free to visit my shop.
Below you'll find the video tutorial I made for this mini. It's a fairly simple album to make & makes for a quick gift or keepsake.
Enjoy!
