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!
