Birthday Cake Mini Shaker Album

Hello friends! It's Jennifer here on the blog to share a fun mini album I created!  I  have a group of friends from high school that have remained close into adulthood.  This year everyone (except me) is turning 50! One weekend a few of us went to Indiana to spend time with our friend, Michelle, to help her celebrate!  I used the Chipboard Banner Album for my book and love how it turned out!

For the front of my album, I used the Birthday Cake Mini Shaker Shape as the accent of my page.  I painted it a bright pink and added fun sequins to the center!  I  then adorned the top with die cut numbers.

Also, each page was  painted with white acrylic paint before adding any paper or embellishments.  For the inside of my front cover, I left an area for journaling. I'm not sure if I'm going to go back and add some thoughts or allow my friend to.

Each page is big enough to fit a 4×4 or 4×6 horizontal photo!  I  tend to mat my photos onto white cardstock because I  like the way it looks.

Here, I  created an extra page using some patterned paper and my Scor-Pal.  I  created a flap to hide photos and journaling as you can see in the next picture.
