Mini Pocket Album and a Layout


I saw Tresa's new video tutorial, and I just knew I needed to make one of these for my sister-in-law and her soon (like 3 days from now) husband. I am putting her "gift" and note from our family inside. She is getting married on her family's tree farm, so It's A Guy Thing was the perfect paper to use.
We are leaving tomorrow for a long trip to visit, attend the wedding, and visit some more. We can't wait to see everyone and enjoy some true fall weather. I am sure I will be ready to return to the warmth of FL before it is all over.

This is the inside of my trial one I made to make sure i knew what I was doing. I used Whoops-A-Daisy paper.

This is one of the bonus layouts with my Notebook workshop. I changed it up a bit, and I plan on adding some stitching and ribbon. It felt good to use some of my baby pictures I've had sitting around for awhile. I am currently working on my Magic Moments bonus layouts, but it will be at least two weeks before I can share those. I want you all to see them with the finishing touches! I was not a fan of the paper packet until I get busy using it. Now, I love it!!!

I hope to have a chance to post a few pictures while I am away. If not, I will be back in a few weeks! Don't forget about me. Of course, you won't! :-) How could you? I'll have blog candy after I return!
