What an ADORABLE mini album! Baby mini albums have always been my favorite, and this new Making Memories line is PERFECT for creating an adorable album for your little one. The new line is called Pitter Patter. We carry tons of brads, stickers, and other embellishments that coresspond with this line, but putting them all together is the fun part! I have the instructions typed below, or you can click on the picture below to see the orginals!! Heather made this album while at CHA, and ever since we’ve had this line in its been flying off the shelves. We thought that this mini album would be a good source of ideas, for those who might have been stumped!

Disney Memories – Mini Album Using Sandylion’s Disney products

Posted by scrapbook on July 18, 2009 under Albums, Disney, Idea | Be the First to Comment

Hey Scrappers!,

Almost all of us have had an experience with Disney that makes us smile every time we remember it. And this new project, using Sandylion Disney products! Disenymemories1_2

We started out by using a white, tin band-aid box. I then covered the middle section with different papers from the sandylion Sweetheart line of paper. I then used Sweetie Pie Stickers, and backed then with a white cardstock. I cut the cardstock to the shape of the sticker. Then i added pop-dots to the back and stuck it onto the bottom of the middle section of the tin. I then took The essentials Black Alphabet stickers and spelt out “Disney Memories” in the middle of the tin.  I then added little accents of the Fun Heart Essentials to the tin using pop-dots! And TA-DA your tin is finished!! Now for the Inside!

Disenymemories4

Disenymemories5

To the right is what the insert could look like. It is actually an accordion fold. I once again used the stickers from the front of the tin. I used pictures from a recent trip to Disneyland. I printed them as 2″x3″ photos. I then adhered then to the accordion fold, and added Bazzill paper and other stickers!

There’s your finished product!

Its a perfect project to display on empty shelves, or on your coffee table!

Have a great week! And Enjoy the new products!
