Hello! Shellye here to share a sweet and chunky mini album for mom using various collections from Quick Quotes, Darjeeling flowers and trims from Petaloo. Albums always make great Mother's Day gifts...just fill with pictures or leave blank for mom to fill!
The front cover was decorated with the Darjeeling Teastained Spice Dahlia's and a bit of pom trim. The large flower was hand-cut from one of the patterned papers and added with foam adhesive.
The album was constructed using the Sizzix Mini Album Die and papers from the "Joy Ride" and "Catalina" Collections.
The collections also include fun chipboard pieces and cardstock stickers to enhance the inner pages.
A manila envelope was added on a couple of the pages and a tag inserted so that journaling card be added.
When adding flowers to pages I like to make sure that they are offset from the opposite page so that it will lay comfortably.
Use crochet trim as a cute divider for the page!
Brads are always an easy way to dress up bookplate style stickers.
Most of all, just fill the album with things that mom will love! Inspirational quotes, sentiments and lots of embellishments that will make perusing the album even more fun.

Beautiful album.
The flowers really fit right in with the size. They aren't so big to make the pages bulky but big enough to add interest.
thanks for sharing.
