MINI BOOK LOVE - OUR QLD TRIP

** Warning - Image heavy post :)  **

Hi friends!

Finally finished my little mini book AND got the photo's edited, wohoo!  So figured I'd best get it blogged before I got completely distracted by my Christmas mini, lol.  I feel like I was working on this book for ages.  In reality it was a few weeks, which is kinda slow, even for me!  But it's all done now and I'm super happy how it's finished up.  I really do love making these little books; I find them so fun to put together (even when they drag out like this one did!).  I wish I had more exciting things going on in our life so I could create more, haha.


I used pieces from a few places for this one - I didn't give myself any limitations :) Alot of it comes from previous CTK kits, but I've added in some new Dear Lizzy pieces too (the stiiiicckkkers!!!); even dug into my Studio Calico stash!

Couple things I love about this book (and things I've not tried in a mini before):

  • I laminated most of the photo's!  Used my little HS Minc Mini and I really love how they look, plus it makes the album alot sturdier when flipping through (which is a huge bonus given how chunky it is).
  • QR codes!! I know this is nothing new but was a serious lightbulb moment for me - I'll talk about those more later ;)

OK, are you ready for photo spam?!  Here we go!

My favourite part about this book? The QR codes!  First time I've even thought to add them into a book and it's so awesome.  I took a bunch of videos during our break and now they're linked into the this mini book; adds a interactive element that I think is so fun!  You can bet I'll be doing this more...assuming I have videos that is, ha.

Zack collected a few shells and rather than have them sitting around collection dust I popped them into a pocket and just machine stitched around them to hold them in place.  LOVE IT!

Phew!  All done!  Still with me?

The book ended up alot chunkier than I thought it would but I kinda love it.  Filled it with all those random things you come back with after a holiday (like the napkin from where we had lunch....I don't even know why I had it; but I did, so into the book it went! lol).

That "you are magic" sticker is seriously one of my favourites ever.  Kinda odd to call the beach magic I know but it really was - Zack loved it and had so much fun there everyday.

Next up is the Christmas mini prep, YAY!  Can't tell you how excited I am to get that one started.  I'm still not 100% sure what I'm doing for my actual album format, currently playing with a little 4x4 but we'll see how it turns out (I painted it white with gold dots, not sure if I like it yet, lol).

Thanks so much for stopping by (and getting through this super heavy photo post!); hope it inspires you to give a mini book a try!   Take care, Em xo
