6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - PART 4 OUR HAPPY FAMILY | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here and I'm back today sharing more of my 6x8 Family Mini Album. If you missed my first 2 posts, you can see my cover post here and my pages here and here.. I'm really enjoying this series and it's been a lot of fun working on a smaller scale. Here's what I've been working on so far:

For this spread, I decided to do one of the 3x4 pocket page inserts and then a full 6x8 pocket page insert on the other side. We took Annie to The Gentle Barn out in Santa Clarita and we got to pet a lot of farm animals. This was the perfect event to document since I'm using the Farmhouse collection for this album! There are so many adorable embellishments that matched our photos.

For this spread I used a few 12x12 patterned papers to create the base cards and embellished on top of them using some Puffy Stickers. On one of the cards, I added the Barn In The USA Doodle-Pop and it looks so cute!! For the bottom right card, I trimmed it from the 12x12 Woodland Berries paper and added some journaling right onto it. I also pulled in the small heart from the coordinating stamp set and stamped it a few times directly on my photos. I love stamping directly on my photos. Annie LOVED the big cows! The one she was waving to is named Madonna. She was the sweetest!

Here's the 6x8 spread on the other side. I took the Kraft colored cardstock from the Coordinating Cardstock pack and trimmed it to a banner shape and added some faux stitching around it. I backed my 4x4 photo using the 6x6 Paper Pad and embellished around it using some of the larger Odds & Ends pieces. It was such a beautiful day at the farm!

Here's an overview of the next two pages. One is the backside of the 6x8 page we just looked at and the other one is another pocket page insert. This color palette makes me so happy and it's a lot of fun documenting a few day to day memories.

For this 6x8 page, it was a very simple one that came together pretty quickly. I matted my photo using the 6x6 Paper Pad again and layered one of the cards I had trimmed out from that same Woodland Berries 12x12 paper. I embellished using a few of the florals from the Bits & Pieces pack and then adhered some of the Fall Assortment Sprinkles in a few places.

Here's the other spread. I used more 12x12 papers to create the base for each of the inserts and then embellished using some of the 12x12 Icons Stickers and then added in some of the Flower Farm Shape Sprinkles. I love when all of my kids are with us. We have so much fun together and we can't wait for our oldest to come back on another break from college soon!

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. I'll see you in my next post friends! I'll be sharing a bit more of this super cute album and I hope that you've enjoyed seeing it come together over these last few weeks.

6 X 8 MINI ALBUMS - OUR HAPPY FAMILY PART 2 | with Brianna

Hey friends! Brianna here today and I'm so excited to share a few things from inside my Family themed 6x8 Mini Album using the Farmhouse collection. Here's a look at the first thing you see when you open my album:

I love to create shaker elements on my projects, so I knew I had to include one (or maybe two..) inside this album. I wanted to include a fun embellishment inside the shaker element itself, so I adhered the Thankful For You Shaker Pop on the inside of one of the plastic sleeves. I then poured in quite a bit of the Fall Flowers and Shades of Fall Shakers mixes and sealed it up by running it through my sewing machine. I love how it turned out!

Right after my large shaker element, you'll find these two spreads. I had so much fun making these!! I mainly create 12x12 layouts with a few mini albums thrown in.. So when I do create a mini, I have a lot of fun with them. I do have to say though, I find it a little more challenging to create on a smaller canvas versus creating on a larger one. I don't know if it's the limited space that throws me off or if it's something that will just go away if I create in that size more often.

Here's the left half of my spread, where I trimmed out my cards using the Fall Bouquet 12x12 paper and then cut out the 'Fall Memories' card from the Woodland Berries 12x12 paper for some journaling. I matted my photos with the 6x6 Paper Pad and embellished around them using a few elements from the Bits & Pieces pack. I also included a few Puffy Icons stickers, a tag from the Chit Chat pack and some word phrase stickers from the 12x12 Icons sticker sheet.

For the top card on the right side of this spread, I adhered a large journaling piece from the Bits & Pieces pack and layered my photo to the right of it. I then added a simple phrase banner piece from the Chit Chat pack and added some of the Flower Farm Shape Sprinkles around. For the bottom card, I cut out a 3x6 strip of paper from the 6x6 Paper Pad and stuck it right in the middle. I matted my photo using another piece of paper and layered it behind a large die cut from the Bits & Pieces pack. I then finished it off by adding in a few Puffy Icon heart stickers.

Here's one last look:

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope that I've inspired you in some way. If you missed my first mini album post, you can read it here.  I'm really enjoying working in this album and sharing bits and pieces along the way. I'll see you in my next post friends!
