We Are Young Picture My Life Mini Album

For this 4 x 6 mini album, I used Close to My Heart's Laughing Lola Picture My Life 4 x 6 and 3 x 4 Cards and Laughing Lola Paper Packet with CTMH Laughing Lola Gold, Laughing Lola Purple, Gypsy, Colonial White, Black and Lagoon cardstocks.

To embellish this mini album, I used the following CTMH products: Chalk It Up Assortment, Scalloped Border Punch, Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and Marvy Journaling Pen. I also used BoBunny Cardstock Stickers, Stampin' Up "friendship" stamp with black embossing powder, Stampin' Up Rich Razzleberry Marker and Marvy Oval Punch.

To make the mini album, I used CTMH's 4 x 6 Memory Protectors Flip Flaps and fun purple zebra striped duct tape. The Flip Flaps are self adhesive, so I adhered each page together and then used the duct tape on the outside to hold the album together.
