The 8th Day of Christmas - Envelope Mini Album

Hello everyone! Sorry this post is late. I was trying to get this album done in time to share yesterday, but it wasn't quite quick enough. So today, you get 2 days in one. :) I am making three of these mini albums for the grandparents in my families. I covered all of the envelopes with the pattern paper. After making the covers with cardboard covered with paper, I took it too Office Depot to get it bound. Then the fun part - DECORATING!!! LOL! For the cover, I used Once Upon a Princess for the word 'Grandkids' and Storybook for the year.

For this page, I used Boys will be Boys for the basketball hoop. And I used Blackletter for the first time ever! I used it for the name and for the 's' on the hoop. The 's' stands for 'Spartans'. :)

This page is one of my favorites. I used Indie Art for the heart. The name is cut from Storybook. Because the top layer ripped slightly, I added silver glitter (not Stickles :D) to cover that. :)

This is my page. :) Isn't it cute. I cut the bow from Once Upon a Princess. Since I used gray for the dots, I decided to add glitter to make it look like silver. My name is cut from All Mixed Up.

This page is for an army obsessed boy. :) The tank is cut from Boys Will be Boys. The name is from the Designer's Calendar font. 

This last page is also one of my favorites. I cut the butterfly from Create-a-Critter. The name is from Printing Press. I had to make sure there was room for the bird. :D

This book acts as a scrapbook, but it also acts as a photo album. What grandparents don't have tons of pictures of their grandkids, especially those little wallets. :) The envelope part of this book is to store those for each person named. I hope you enjoyed this (late) project. :D Come back soon for my guest designer Sandra! :D ~Emma

Square Frames Scrapbook Layout

I had a crop party with my mom last weekend and this is one of the pages that I came up with. It has a really cute 'frame of frames' around the picture. I saw this idea in a DVD I watched and wanted to try it out. I used the frames and their square middles. I used an extra frame to add dimension to the first letter of the title. The triangles on the photo are just matted triangles on the corners for more of the look of matting without using that much cardstock. ;-) I will have the super cool surprise up tomorrow. So come on back for a new branch on KatelynCo!! ~Emma
