Mini Book and Gift Box

My husbands Cousin is having her first baby in a week or so.  I decided to make her a mini album that she can place her own special photos in.  This is my second Mini and I do enjoy making them.  I wanted to get this one done in time for her, so believe it or not I did finish in one day.

I hope you enjoy it:

Circle Card Challenge-Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #27

I love to use my scraps up, I think someday I will actually have none left!  Not really but it's nice to think that.

I have a really big family and have always given or mailed out Birthday cards to almost most of my family members.  So all the cards I make usually go to someone special.

Photography Girl!

These cards are another special request from my Aunt.  She wanted a card to give to her daughter for her birthday.  I knew it had to be special because she is also my cousin. My aunt gave me a few suggestions one being photography and the other Sea Shells.  I actually made both so she would have a choice and more importantly because I love both subjects myself.  I actually didn't want to give them away so it's time to get crack en and make replacements...............Enjoy!
