A mini-album with the August kit

I loved the papers that came in the August kit and knew they would be perfect for a mini-book that I wanted to make for my SIL as a thank you for hosting us while we visited them in Denver.

(I was really happy with the end result-- it was hard to give it away!)

As I usually do with mini-books, I kept a fairly basic design throughout the book, but changed up the elements and papers to give it interest. My favourite part was selecting a symbol for each page from the sheet of October Afternoon patterned paper called Dew Drop Inn. I was so pleased to find one that worked for each photo!

In addition to the kit, I used some other sheets of October Afternoon pp from the Road Map line, some American Crafts thickers and a Making Memories journaling stamp, all from the Shoppe.
