Mini Madness Monday IIIII

This is the last of the backlog of mini albums I have to share with you.  You can check out the others here and here and here and here .  Ironically this is the first one I made and the last to share. I wasn't happy with it or the other circumstances around it (doesn't life get in the way sometimes? tch!) so it got put at the back of the cupboard and that is where it lived until my tidy up.  I still don't love it but that's OK.

As you can see there are loads of pages so I'm only sharing some...   I can't take any credit - I just followed the instructions and put it together.  This was a brilliant way to start with mini albums - it really took the scary out of it. It's put together from card pouch-pockets with tag inserts alternating with plain pages.  It came titled 'I am' so I went with that and came up with a list of what I am... starting with creative... ... a Christian ...a big cousin ...a nature lover ...a daughter and granddaughter ... a chocoholic ... sports fan ... an arctophi...
