Summer Mini Album at Big Picture Classes

I have a new mini book class up at Big Picture Classes today! Every summer we create a "summer bucket list" and this fun mini album is perfect for recording those memories!

The class includes SIX video tutorials for setting up your album and inside pages and lots of other neat ideas for minis!  I hope you will hop on over and check it out! I have six other classes in a variety of areas as well, so be sure to check those out too! Hope to see you in class!

Crate Paper: Summer Bucket List Garland

One of my very favorite parts of Summer is putting together a list of things we want to do 

over our break.  I love getting the kids involved and I love hearing what they are dying to do!

I usually create a summer mini album from all of our activities and I thought 

I would get a head start this year by using the Crate Paper Open Road collection to 

list each item on it's own card/frame, which can also be used as the base of a mini album.

You can read about my process, as well as see more detailed photos over 

on the Crate Paper blog today!

This cute little garland is hanging out in our kitchen and we keep checking 

them off one by one!  I've decided to snap a photo of each activity to include

 in a mini book and I'll be sure to share the completed album here 

on my blog when it's completed!

What about you?  Have you made a Summer bucket list?
