 For my secret sister, I made a mini album. There is plenty of room to add pictures and journaling. Each page has a tag that is inserted and pulls out. It has one side for a picture and the journaling on the other side.  I used a Memory Box stamp for the journal tags. The papers are an array of printed papers. I went to the cabinet and pulled out every piece of purple paper that I could find for the album. For the tags, I had to resort to some pinks too, because I didn't have enough solid purple paper choices. On each page I added some bling, buttons, K&Company stickers, and ribbon. I added ribbon to all of the tags and also to the 3 rings. The cover is a one page of chipboard, which I cut in half and covered with paper. I used a 1/2 circle punch to punch the hole so the tags could be pulled out.

The font of the mini album with all of the ribbons on the rings.

 Cover up close. I put a fairy and dream sticker on the cover. I added a button , to appear like a knob, but it isn't. I also added a purple gem in the O of  LOVE. The love was already on the paper that I chose.






























This is the back cover. I used an EK punch for my label.

The tags, side for the picture.

The tags, the side for journaling. I stamped the Memory Box journal stamp and embossed each tag. Then I cut around the stamp edge.

Now, your next stop along the way is CallyAnn

I do have some wonderful blog candy to share with you. I will send you 24 Christmas paper tags that I have cut with my die cutter for you to use on your Christmas gifts. Please leave me a way to contact you.

Merry Christmas!
love and hugs
