We did it...a week full of mini albums from the team here at Write. Click. Scrapbook. as well as bonus projects, tips and techniques sharing ways to use up all those bits and pieces left on your craft desk after you've finished your scrapbooking creations. If you've never crafted a mini album, perhaps you've found some inspiration during your visits with us this week. We've featured an array of mini album projects for you to try from Top Ten Lists, The Two of Us, In My Garden and Life is Great (coming up below!!), in addition to our mini album contributions from Aly, Celeste and Erin on Thursday.
My bonus projects have included a Mother's Day necklace and earring gift set, an art canvas, a button bracelet and some fun hair accessories. Now for our last day of MINI ALBUM WEEK fun!
LIFE IS GREAT
Everyone loves a Jenni Bowlin Studio bingo card, so let's make a mini album using them as our feature element. I also used these label stickers as a backdrop for part of my title and these chalkboard alpha stickers, too.
I used this tutorial from the Write. Click. Scrapbook. Tumblr to create my mini album cover embellishment. I adhered two patterned papers from the Front Porch mini papers together and got to cutting and punching. I will advise you to place the holes as close to the edge of your point when making the pinwheels...don't go too far into the paper.
Each page is embellished in the same way, first with the butterfly stamp and Versa Mark ink, to give a nice tone-on-tone effect, then adding the mini bingo cards on top. I then cut cardstock strips into 1/2" strips for my journaling, folded them and cut into them to mimic a banner.
If you're wondering about the photos, I plan to add those to the top part of the page {the flips up} once we take them. We need some new photos of the kids together, of us and of our house and this is a perfect opportunity to have some new photos and then to place them into our LIFE IS GREAT album.
I've had fun this week and I hope you've had fun, too. I invite you to visit with me on my blog, browse my Etsy shop and encourage you to shop 'til you can't shop anymore with Jenni Bowlin Studios, who have generously sponsored our projects this week. We've included links to all the products we've used to make it easy for you. If you can't find something, leave a comment here and our Write. Click. Scrapbook. team will be happy to find the link for you!

Jenni & Jared Bowlin founded Jenni Bowlin Studios in 2007. Having been scrapbooking for over ten years, Jenni had always been drawn to antique treasures with stories to tell. Now, she creates products that reflect her love of old things with a modern twist, a product line she calls "Fresh Vintage." Her lines include patterned paper, vintage style labels, old timey buttons, and embellishments re-invented from flea market finds that hearken back to days gone by.
