Mini Album～Cherish--Finished ver.

I finished the album right before I went to that girl's birthday party... It was close! Toward the end, I had to use hair dryer to dry Grossy Accent!

Here how my finished mini album look like;

-back of the front cover and page1


These are how she looked when I first met her. Only one and half years old!

-page 2-3


She was with her close friend. They are neighbors, but they act like real brother and sister.

-page 4-5


On the right page, I cut out a 4*4 piece out of the Cosmo Cricket Naked Button and More chipboard and made a photo frame.

Here is how it is like without a photo.


I used Glue Dots to glue the frame, but it was a bit tight. I suppose I would use mountaining tape or something next time so that it could hold more than one photo and easier to slide in/out.

-page 6-7


Poor Prima flower... of course it was ripped off when the girl was looking at the album! Oh well, I'm right here to fix it.

The bottom photo works as a pocket as well and it holds a stripe of photos with a bottom. I wanted to make it look like a bookmark.

-page 8-9



Again, the right page has a photo frame. This time it has two photos.

-page 10-11


The left page photos were collaged by Picasa. I like to use this function, even though it works very slowly, because I can fit more photos in one page.

-page 12 and back cover



I wrote a little note under the flower shaped thing.

Her parents were really happy with this album, so I'm really glad I made this!


　何とかギリギリで間に合ったミニアルバム！最後はグロッシーアクセントが乾かなくて、ドライヤーとか使ってました（＾＾；
　5ページ目と8ページ目にラブメモで紹介されていた余ったチップボードで作るフォトスタンドのアイデアを使ってます。でもギザギザだと写真が入れにくい。。今度は厚みのでるテープか何かで貼ってみようと思います（今回はGlue Dots）。
　でも友人夫婦はとーっても喜んでくれたので、良かった！私も作ってて、あー大きくなったなぁ、、としみじみしちゃいました（＾＾　子どもの成長って本当、早いですね。

　さて、彼女ももう2歳！よくも悪くも2歳児らしい行動が増えてます。。（汗）　頑固で謝らず、お礼言わず。いざとなればギャン泣き。。友人であるママはもちろんだけど、私（たまにシッターしてます）もタフにならなきゃ！だわ。。
