Scrapbook Friday - Mini Album Theme

                              


It's Friday, Friday!  Happy Friday!!  Today is Scrapbook Friday over at My Cricut Craft Room and today project was to make a mini album.

For my mini album I made a Thanksgiving themed book which includes places pictures and/or a little journaling  and I also included recipe cards to write our favorite Thanksgiving recipes on.  A fun little project the family can help filling in on Thanksgiving after that wonderful Turkey Dinner filled with memories of that day...what's better than family time and food all wrapped up together.




For this project I used the following Cricut Cartridges...
*Pretty Pennants for the covers and pages as well as the caps and the overlay on the covers.
*Autumn Celebrations with the Cricut Pens for the Title Image.
*Celebrate with Flourish for the Turkey on the back inside cover.
*Art Philosophy for the Photo Mats on the inside to add pictures for Thanksgiving Dinner, as well as the Flowers on the front cover.
*Wall Decor and More for the Plate Setting on the front inside cover.


For the overlay I took a piece of cream colored textured card stock and sort of tye-dyed it with fall colored ink pads to give the look of fall leaves.




Here is a close up picture of the flowers on the front cover where I also used some of my homemade fall colored tye-dye paper.  I also added a brown pearl on the inside of each flower.





I had gotten the Cricut Glitter Gel Pens a few weeks ago and couldn't wait to use them, didn't turn out pretty, now I can't wait to use them again and again.

Here is the inside cover and the first page where I can either add a pictures a little journaling of our Thanksgiving Dinner.








Here are a few of the inside pages showing more mats and the recipe cards where I can add the recipe for our favorite Thanksgiving Dinner Recipe.



Here is a close up picture of the recipe card.





And here is the last page which will probably have the Dessert or at least one of the Desserts on it, and the inside of the back cover.
