As I've mentioned in a previous blog, I've been taking part in Kathy Byrne's mini album classes. Last year's classes were for anyone with no experience, and this year I've joined the 'masterclass'.
My entry for this challenge is a mini-album with a box and a drawer. It is decorated in 8 different papers from Bo Bunny's Beautiful Dreamer paper and stamp collection. I love the colours - the greens and pinks are gentle and pretty. There are some beautiful illustrations of hot air balloons and and traditional bicycles alongside some quirky pictures of owls.
Part of the charm of making mini-albums is the think about how photographs will look, using fold out and fold up pages, making hidden pockets to contain tags and other messages. I've posted two photographs today of my project.
The first photograph is the outside of the min-album; the second is a close-up of the inside and a sample spread. I really like to decorate the tabs. The various die cuts on the tags and pockets are from Heartfelt Creations. I've used Regal borders and pockets for the longer decoration running the length of the page, and Ornate borders and pockets for the tabs (you can just see a green tip poking out of the drawer).

| A real test was making the drawer fit - not too snug, not too loose |

I'm typing this blog from my holiday in Mallorca! It's a beautiful summer's day here in the north of the island, and our terrace looks out onto the stunning Tramontana mountains.
Here are a couple of pictures - I couldn't resist sharing them!
We've got a full week still to enjoy! Normal blog service will be resumed soon. Haha!
Thank you for visiting.
