I created this cute mini-album using the Bracket Album by SMJ and ScrapKitchen Designs. I reduced it in size to about 3 inches and mounted on cardboard (that came along with my photo paper packaging). Then I punched a hole and threaded on a loose binder ring.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Inspired by April Anderton's recent article and amazing layout in the April/May 2008 issue of Digital Scrapbooking Magazine, I decided to experiment and see what I could do digitally to achieve a similar look with the papers from the new Weeds and Daisies kit...

This layout features my girl Kali, she is a lover of books, learning, reading and especially puzzles. I showcased these photos in Shabby Miss Jenn's collaboration kit with Dani Mogstad, Vintage Garden Fairies. The colors complimented my pics perfectly and the style of the elements suited exactly what I had in mind with the tabbed folder and little whimsical butterfly and floral spray theme.
