2007 Memories

As you know, 2007 was a big year for us, we were blessed with a new son and brother enjoyed many mini vacations among other things.  I wanted a place to hold all of our memorable family photos from our 2007 year.  Here's the little accordion mini book I came up with.2007_mini_album_front_cover
The front cover of the Spring/Summer Stampin Up! catalogue inspired me for the cover of my little album.  I used some Basic Grey "Urban Couture" papers for the backdrop, and punched a scalloped edge from white cardstock using my Stampin Up! slit punch.  I stamped the word "memories" (Heidi Grace, "Wild Daisy" stamp set) and heat set with white embossing powder.  The numbers 2007 are Basic Grey numbers, painted white.  I used some gold edged cream ribbon for the enclosure.
