I made this a few weeks ago with photos taken in my daughters birthday. This was put together using the accordian album kit from SU! in the red/carmel combo. I layered stella ruby papers on most of the pages, then printed out the pictures in sepia.

Unfortunately it's hard to get a good picture of the entire album, but it turned out really nice. I waited to post it because I mailed to it my mom a few weeks ago as a surprise and I didn't want her to see it on here first. Well.... she cried when she got it.... but that just meant she liked it!!

This is about as close to scrapbooking as I can get. I really have tried to sit down and do a 12x12 or 6x6 layout and just feel uninspired. I think I need to start thinking about scrapbooking as a card with pictures on it and I'd do better!

Very cute! Love the red.
Like you, I can't get into scrapbooking. It just like it's such a big space. And what am I going to stick on there for pictures...there's only so many you can take of dogs and cats, lol.
Gorgeous and a terrific idea!
I know what you mean about scrapbooking. I really would like to do it- in fact that's the reason I started making cards. Start out with the A2, then make a few 5x5 square cards. before you know it I can make a 6x6 page. Problem is, now that I'm hooked on cardmaking, I havent made the time to try and scrapbook.
What an absolutely beautiful book. I love the colors, and the photos in sepia are perfect. I have one of these kits and now need to find a reason to use it!!
Love the work -- and this is scrapbooking at its best! Mini albums ROCK because YOU call the shots. I think it is semantics, because doing layouts and doing complete projects like this can't really be compared, yet they are definitely both scrapbooking.
What a great rememberance for you and your daughter of her birthday!
That red color is GREAT!
This is gorgeous! No wonder your mom cried! :)
its beautiful any mom would love it!
My goodness Michelle! This is a wonderful gift. I'm sure is a treasure. I found your blog site through Debbie Olson's site! Wow!! is all I can say about all of the beautiful cards you have shared on your site. Stunning one and all. I looked at all your cards back to your 2006 postings, I'm still just shaking my head. So glad I have subscribed to your blog. I don't want to miss one card. Blessing to you...Terri
I love how you brought out the ruby in Stella Ruby! This is a wonderful piece that your mom will probably carry around and show to everyone. She must be proud of both her grandaughter and her daughter!
This is beatiful! You always do such great things on your blog! Keep it up!
This is fabulous. I had forgotten about these little books. I love the simple elegance of your work.
