Someone was asking about making a mini album as a gift so I thought I would upload the one I just did. This is the first part to it. Each facing layout has a decorated page and a photo mat (in this case I used acrylic paint, mixing several colors to get a swirled effect, and painted wide margins so that when a photo is put on top it will be matted by the painted portion of the mat).<BR><BR><BR><BR>Used to make this book were Making Memories paints, Sissix dies (balloons, confetti, Lollipop upper case letters), Paperbilities cardstock, various alphabet stickers (mostly Provo Craft, Sandylion, and Making Memories) and punchies - candles, little people, keys, carousel horse, various sizes of flowers and flower centers). The actual book was a Making Memories Mini Book.<BR><BR>The poem was written by me:<BR><BR>Turning One<BR><BR>The year I turn one<BR><BR>Will be so much fun<BR><BR>I'll move all around<BR><BR>There's so much to be found<BR><BR>Talk to Mom and Daddy all day<BR><BR>So much I have to say<BR><BR>I've been waiting all year<BR><BR>Yippee! It's here<BR><BR>So look out - here comes the fun<BR><BR>It's the year I turn one
