Note from Designer: "I love using inexpensive pre-cut shapes for mini albums.  I found this pumpkin shape in a set of 12 at Michael's.  Alone the pieces aren't sturdy enough for an album, so I combined two sheets together to form one page...works great!  After tracing the pumpkin shape and cutting out, I used a 4" circle die to cut out the mats.  Be sure to do any machine stitching or brad adding before adhering the two chipboard pages together.  To give a clean edge to the pages, I like to add border of twine; a fine point glue pen works perfectly for this.  I also added twine for the stem on the cover page...just coat with a thin layer of fabric glue and wrap in place."
