SUMMER FUN VACAY MINI ALBUM | with Inessa

I had so much fun creating this bright and colorful mini album using the Summer Fun collection !

The idea for the album actually started with the light pink card included in the Bright Cards pack. It measures about 4" tall by 5.5" wide, and I loved it so much that I decided to build the entire album around it. I kept the finished album at approximately 4" x 6" and used my We R tool to create a fun spiral-bound mini.

The album has six pages, including the front and back covers, which gave me plenty of room to play with all of the adorable embellishments in this collection. I used lots of Doodle-Pops, ephemera, stickers, enamel shapes, and even added a little touch of gold with some puffy alphabet stickers.

One of my favorite pages is the sequin shaker! I created it using two pieces of acetate and filled the inside with a mix of bubbles and little fishy shaker pieces. I love the extra movement and texture it adds to the album!

I added a photo to each page, with most of my photos sized at 3" x 4". I also mixed in a few 3" x 3" square photos throughout the album just to change things up and make each page feel a little different.

For the back page, I created a small pocket and tucked a few tags inside. It's such an easy way to add another interactive element and gives me a little extra space for journaling or even more photos.

This collection is just so cheerful and perfect for documenting all of those fun summer memories. Between the bright colors, adorable icons, and all of the little interactive details, this mini album was definitely a fun one to put together!
