*special delivery* mini album

I spent a little time today creating this mini album for my mother-in-law. She just had surgery, and I wanted to send her something special. I found a tutorial for a toilet paper tube mini album on the Stampin' Up website, and it's the perfect size! I'd really like to get this in the mail this weekend, and I knew if I picked something too big I would end up putting tons of time into it, and I'd be lucky if I got it in the mail by the end of the month!

Here's a peek at each of the tubes... I mean pages. Do they look familiar? I *borrowed* a few ideas from some of the cards I've made recently. What a time saver!

The next three pictures show the inserts that fit inside each of the pages. I *borrowed* the idea for this flower from the talented Julie Ebersole.

I think I'll have my write a little something to their grandma on the back of this insert. Grandmas love notes from their grandkids!

I will definitely be making one of these again! It's kind of funny that the pages are made out of toilet paper tubes. They make for nice sturdy pages, that's for sure! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a fun weekend planned... with some time for stamping, of course!
