The Project:

I will be the first to admit that I am not a scrapbooker.
Sure, I have created layouts before, but scrapbooking just isn't my thing.
I have recently started enjoying making mini albums, but there are still some products made specifically for layout makers that don't necessarily translate for card makers (or mini album makers) - mainly due to their size.

One of those things is journaling cards.
I love the 12x12 sheets with a fun arrangement of journaling cards, but they are generally too large to incorporate into journaling spots for the small size albums that I prefer to make.

For this project, I decided to take the journaling cards from the Happy Go Lucky collection from My Little Shoebox and use them as the pages of my mini album. They are a great size for mini album pages and provide a great space for journaling about the pictures.
{I guess journaling *is* what they were intended for after all...}

I finished my mini album by adding accents using Cappuccino, Caribbean, Honeydew, and Blossom twine from The Twinery. I love how just a little touch of twine can add fun dimension and interest to an otherwise flat project.

Thanks for stopping by today!

This is the last stop for today, but be sure to start back again tomorrow at the My Little Shoebox blog!
