It is my god-daughter's birthday on Saturday (and my Dad's - told you it was a busy old month!!) Every year I make her a mini album of the previous year. Her Mummy always says it's the present she (Mummy) looks forward to the most! LOL
I started off making a basic old 8 x 8 but quickly lost my mojo, then remembered how much I had enjoyed making GDG's birthday album.
(click here to see it) A plan was flowing! This time I did use a proper Heidi Swapp Memory File but got a little heavy handed with the mist, a la Heidi, without the same mess free results lol. Tons of wipes, kitchen roll and swearing later this little baby was born :0)

| I make no apology for this being totally lifted from HS' blog - I loved it!!! |
 |
| phrase cut on Silhouette and Pro Markered to be ombre stylie - hard to see on the photo. |
 |
| chipboard flower glittered with hearts |
 |
| mini photo albums that open to the side as well as ones that lift up |
 |
| 6 x 12 page protectors sewn into the album...again an idea from HS Create to Remember. Swinging photo mats (there are another 2 behind this one) that are attached by a brad and punched for better movement. The 'snapshots' photo mat is a pocket for them to sit in. |

| I sewed photo mats into the album too |

Most of the patterned paper is from a Cosmo 6 x 6 pad Tea for Two.
Thanks for popping in,
