Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Carissa - Mini Album

Happy Monday crafty friends. It's Carissa from Happily Ever Paper Crafter.

Today I'm sharing a mini album that I created using the My Mind's Eye "Sweetest Thing" collection. I'm just in love with the pinks and yellows in this collection. Gorgeous papers!

This mini album is inspired by the book binding / mini album making designs of one super talented Laura Denison. My favorite thing about this album is that you can use the patterned paper of a 6x6 paper pad and put it together SO QUICKLY.

Here is a video I created showing how to make the covers and pages and how to bind the mini album together.
