Jo' s Birthday Blog Hop with Pebbles Family Ties Mini Album

Hello there!  Today my scrappy friend and loyal blog follower, Jo Williams at Jo's Scrap Shack is celebrating her 4th blogaversary and asked if I would join in.  Of course I wanted to help her celebrate!  

You should be arriving here from Kellie's blog or if you are just joining in you can start at the beginning at Jo's blog.  There are lots of great prizes up for grabs from lots of awesome sponsors so make sure to check that out at the bottom of this post.  ;)

She asked each of us to share a non-card type project so I have a sweet mini album using some of my favorite papers from my stash from Pebbles Family Ties collection. 

Years ago I bought these "edgy" mini albums by Bo Bunny in every color and I thought it was finally time to put one to use (I still have so many in my stash).  I love how they allow you to see a peek of each set of pages below and how you can show off a lot of pretty patterned papers at a glance.

Sadly I realize these particular mini albums are hard to come by these days, but you can fashion a similar version by cutting it from Silhouette chipboard using some great cutting files by Lori Whitlock found HERE.

I had so much fun personalizing each set of pages with their own unique touches (you can click on the photos and scroll through them to see them larger).

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a peek.  I hope I've inspired you to get some of your favorite family photos documented in a fun mini album perfect for your coffee table.
