For this hop, we wanted to share our love for the mini with you! A mini album is great to document and event that you have lots of photos from, a special photo shoot, a holiday or occasion, or for just the everyday!

For my projects, I am going to share with you a couple of past mini albums that I have made. These are still some of my favorite projects to this day!

First up, I have this Lovely Day mini album. My daughters took part in a tea part photo shoot, and they pictures were to die for..so of course, rather than just choose one to document the occasion, I put together a little mini album.

For the next layout, I wanted to document just fun, everyday moments with my family. This are just some favorite snapshots, put together in this album!

To celebrate and share my love of minis even more..I have a fun mini album themed giveaway! To be entered, simply become a follower of my blog ( let me know that you have done this, and let me know if you already were), and leave me a comment letting me know what your favorite thing about a mini album is...for an extra entry, follow me on instagram, username gracehope!

Now, for your next spot on this hop, you are going to visit the talented...Nubia!!

Thanks for hopping along with us today, enjoy this hop, be inspired, and take time to create something you love!!

Create: Mini Albums

Hi all!! Happy Monday! I am so glad to be back on schedule after fall break, and a crazy birthday weekend for our little guy. Of course, now I am super behind on assignments, and will be scrapping my butt off late into the next couple of nights! lol...that's my favorite time to work though, so it's all good! :)

Today, I thought I would hop on and share a mini that I had published in the September edition of Create: Mini Albums. I absolutely love this album, and was so honored and excited that it was my first ever publication!

You can purchase the issue here, if you are interested. Lots of beautiful albums in there!

Thanks so much for hopping by today, hope you all have a great Monday, and take time to create something you love!!

Tea Party Mini

Hi all!! Today I wanted to hop on here and share a mini album I made a while back.

I have a good friend who is a fabulous photographer, check out her site K.G. Photography. Last summer, she hosted a mini session that was vintage tea party themed. It was gorgeous, and my little ladies absolutely loved it.

So...with those photos, a line mini from Maya Road, and the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection, I but together this little mini.

Just realized I forgot to photograph the cover, and a few pages...I'll try and get those up on here asap. Blame on the baby mommy brain! lol.

Don't those ladies look beautiful :) Love my girls, and these turned out fabulous! Was very happy with them, and how this album came together for me.

Lots of fun with layering...I actually made it a little too thick for the binding, but I still love it! :)

Hope you all have a great day, and take time to create something you love!

A Good Day

Ah! Finally Friday is here! This has just been one of those weeks, and I am soooo ready for the weekend! The hubby and I are going out of town for a date night, which happens very, very rarely! So we are excited to spend some time out, and the girls are super excited to spend the night at Mamaw and Papaw's.

I thought today I would share with you my final project using the February add-on "Grandma's Attic" from The Paper Bakery. I love this kit! Every month Sarah out does herself!

I will be back soon to share some sneaks from the AMAZING March kits from The Paper Bakery!!

There is also still time to play along in the sketch challenge, go here for all the details! Play along for your chance to win a fabulous prize!

Have a great weekend, and take time to create something you love!

 

My Little Princess

In December, both of my girls celebrate their birthdays, this year they wanted to have one big party together. After lots of discussing, cause this is serious business you know, lol, they decided to have a Princess Tea Party. It was alot of fun for both of them and their little friends. Everyone came dressed as a princess, we made crowns, sat down and drank out of our tea cups, we even had tea pot cakes..they loved it! I was exhausted! LOL!
 Of course I have gobs of pictures that I love, but I picked out some of my absolute favorites and put them into this fun little mini album. I die cut all the little tea cups on Silhouette (love that thing!) and then just went to town with trims, gems, banners, anything fun girly and sparkly! :)

This is very picture heavy, but I really wanted to share a photo of every page! :) ( You can click on the photos to make them larger :))

I used mainly Pebbles, Inc. and American Crafts on this. The stamps are Lawn Fawn, and there are some trims and stickers through in there from various manufacturers.

This album is for Miss E...she loves it! :) I am asked daily, though, where Katlyn's is, so I better get busy on that! :)

This mini is one of the featured albums over at Practical Scrappers today. Make sure you head over and check out all of the other amazing albums! I know I now have some super cute ideas!! :)
