Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator
I have been watching lot of videos on youtube lately showing how to make mini albums. I have made quite a few in my time and some from one sheet of 12" x12" scrapbook paper. There are various different ways of doing this and here is one way I really like. Very quick and easy. Love how using the Bundle of Love DSP from Stampin' Up! makes a great baby album.

ReplyDeleteThank you Lorraine, I am giving it to my niece who is just starting to scrapbook and craft, I wanted her to have something that she could complete quickly and that would compliment the Memories & More set she had. :-)
