Timeless Moments mini album “Serenity”

Counting by the number of mini album blogposts I’ve published you’d think this mini album is my sixth. However, it was actually my third, but I wasn’t able to publish this post until the recipient had actually received it as her birthday gift – which has only been the case since yesterday, so here we go! 🙂

DCWV’s Serenity paper is particularly gorgeous imho and therefore I was extra pleased to be able to use it for a mini album!

Above: DCWV’s Serenity paper stack consists of 24 stunningly beautiful designs.

My mother commissioned it for her sister in law, my aunt, and I did my best to create something special for her.

I took most of my inspiration for the construction of this album from Kathy Orta’s Timeless Moments album. I set myself the added task of incorporating a number of different so-called bonus projects into the album, by which I mean different kinds of fold-outs, micro booklets or special wallets. All of these can be filled with photos or journaling or other treasured memorabilia. And there was another “acryllic tag” in this album as well, just like the one I used on the cover of the Ancestry mini album – only this time I attached it to the inside of the cover!

So, please enjoy the video and feel very free to let me know what you think!

Ancestry mini album

I’d had my eyes on K&Company’s Ancestry design paper stack quietly sitting in my stash for a while. Its gorgeous, rich vintage tones, the nostalgic feel and of course its family tree sheet just screamed to be used for some cool project!

So, here’s my second mini album, created for those very old family pictures that may have been in your family for a couple of generations now. You know, like those black & white ones of your grandparents and who knows even your great-grandparents. Or those yellowy ones from the sixties and seventies. Ah, how time flies…

This particular mini album will stay in the family by the way, since my mother is gifting it to her sister, my aunt. 🙂

This is a rather large “mini” album, about 8 x 10.5 inches (20 x 27 cm), which makes it great to house lots and lots of photos and other memorabilia. Plus, I really wanted to show off this gorgeous paper, so the larger the pages the more design paper real estate I would have to work with! 🙂

I was inspired by Kathy Orta’s All Occasion mini album for its basic construction, adding of course my own styling, embellishments and personal touch.

I’m very pleased with the way the album has turned out. Let me know if you like it too!
