Today I want to share a mini album I made.
Before I made cards I was a scrapbooker and have over 20 completed albums made over the years.
But I also liked to dabble in mini albums and altering items and I think that is where the transition into card making started.
Every now and again I like to take a break from cards and go back to playing with books :)
This is one I made this week.
As it has a lot in it there will be many photos but I hope you like it.
Also because of all the work I thought I'd enter it in a few challenges too ;)
