What to do when you receive a box of goodies like this…

First you Ooh and Aah and then you get busy trying to use every last bit of it.

I decided the best way to do that was to make a mini album.

My cover~

Since it’s bitterly cold outside, I wanted to warm up by working with pictures from our Summer beach trip.

You know the days when we complained it was too hot? He he.

To create the base for the mini album I scored each sheet from the Vintage Basics Stack down the center.

This makes a perfect 6 x 6 page with a decorative edge.

Then it was just a matter of using the coordinating cards, envelopes and papers to layer.

Simple, easy, but absolutely fabulous.

And when I say I love each and every embellishment in this collection, I mean it.

In fact, I think I see a trip to Michaels for more in the near future.
