Spring Garden Memories

Hello crafty friends, thank you for stopping by today so that I can share with you my take on the Q club materials for March 2016. What I have created was an 8 X 8 mini album. This mini has 5 1/2 pages & holds for 27 photos. I used all of the materials for the Q club kit plus 2 extra sheets of paper. The papr line is Quick Quotes Farmhouse Collection.

This is the front of the mini album. I repurpsed this memories mini album from Quick Quotes that I had in my stash. (I still have two extra's to use later). I removed the wire spine & two additional pages. I created a hidden hinge to attatch the pages inside the book.
