I wish you could see this little mini album in person... it's so cute, but my pictures are not so good. I just couldn't get it to fit in my little space :( The two little boys in the album are our Grandson's Gage and Witten. They have grown so much, and mom has her hands full LOL! I used Kaisercraft's Lullaby Collection Paper Pad, such sweet paper for babies. I do have all supplies used on this project listed below.
DH and I have been on a mini vacation the last week or so, I call it a vacation, but we (he) has been working like crazy on the houseboat, I've been cleaning the inside. It's hot here in CA (100º) the last few days, and the boat is in dry dock so we were not able to get in the lake... The hardest part is over now, and we seem to still be on schedule for getting it in the water around the 4th of July. It's very late, and we are exhausted so I'm going to bed, but will be back very soon.
Thanks for visiting - Linda ❤❤

I don't know how you do it Linda, but you keep getting better and better with your designs. I look forward everyday to getting one of your wonderful emails showing your latest creation. I am saturating myself with your cards and those of your friends, and am getting a more Victorian feel to my cards. Thank you for all that you share with us cardmakers!

Posted by: Marilyn | June 16, 2012 at 06:37 AM
Linda, the album is gorgeous. Thanks for the supply list, I want to make an album for my baby cousin and this is the perfect inspiration. Such gorgeous work - thanks for sharing.
Posted by: Theresa W. | June 16, 2012 at 06:36 AM
I think those pictures are fine! And the album is lovely... a little "brag" book to share. Of course, you really need two of them to give each one their own when they grow up and have kiddies of their own. I make a miniature for doll houses that is a Swarovski crystal frame half-inch square and the opening is quarter inch square. My DH knows how to shrink the photo down on the computer. The picture actually gets clearer because the pixels are scrunched down (don't know how else to explain it). Maybe there is a tutorial somewhere on how to shrink your pictures down or, if you happen to have a teenager around, they could show you!!!
Posted by: Charlotte Zweigoron | June 16, 2012 at 06:16 AM
Oh absolutely LOVE it. Those dies made a perfectly adorable album! You have the BEST ideas for stretching and really maximizing these "tools" we buy. THANK YOU LINDA again for the inspiration!
