It's my brother's birthday and it got me thinking about him and how he recently moved very far away and we all miss him!
I did this Mini album of some of my brother's wedding pics (he was married civilly and then religiously) and gave it to him and my SIL for Christmas!
Lots of bling and ribbon!
Loving the rubons and Maya Road journalling cards.
Dymo was perfect for this black/white/red scheme!
Love their matching umbrellas and peacoats!
Love the turned up collar Bro!
How great are these pics?
Rubons with bling on top and doodling around the edges of the white pages!
Beautiful couple!
Aren't they sweet together?
Romantic pics!
Love the Heidi Swapp ghost heart frame and used the inside of it for the next page!
Love how the ribbon and bow span both pages and make the present look great!
Love this goofy shot!
And the wandering off into their future!
I don't do mini's very often so I hope you liked it.
See, they love it!
Do you do lots of mini's? Do you give them as gifts?
I don't do lots of mini's because I don't like people putting their grubby fingers all over the pages I create LOL! I prefer my pages behind plastic LOL!!

Ohhh what an awesome idea, All i could see when I got that mini was "Christmas Christmas Christmas" I can think out of the box now!!!(LOL)
Love what you did with it, awesome pics, and awesome Mini!
Your family is very lucky to have you! Those are the absolute best types of gifts to get! It turned out lovely. You did an amazing job as always. :)
that is soo sweet Carrie...obviously from the pic you SIL was so excited! that is such a special gift that they can treasure for always..tfs!
I like doing mini albums, but like you I don't do a whole lot of them! Their faces are PRICELESS! Love it:) What a great gift and such a cute album!
Beautiful album I'm sure they will cherish it forever. I love doing mini albums and it is probably 50/50 as to giving them away and keeping them. I love the finish line and in doing a mini the finish is alot closer than a 12x12 album.
Yeah I won! I'm so excited. I love surprises!
Your mini turned out great! I love mini albums, but I do fret about fingers all over the pages. Mostly I make them for us, not so much to give away. One day I hope to have a big basket full of them to display in our living room area or somewhere like that so that people can look through them.
Thanks so much! I will email you. Happy Sundae!
Shanna :)
i love mini's and i also have a giant basket full of them! so much fun to make!
What a lovely gift! You did a beautiful job on this. How lucky they are to have you to put so much love into their gift!
LuLu~*xoxo
*LOVE* the mini! Beautiful how you brought the red, black and white throughout. The photos with the Fall leaves look especially wonderful. I really like seeing the pic of them receiving this very special gift!
Absolutely lovely Carrie!
What a priceless keepsake!
Hi Carrie,
Congratulations on your beautiful book! I am Rodney & Thuy's friend, Sandy.
Great job Carrie! I love the look on your SIL's face when she saw what you made! :)
I make a lot of mini albums to give away....mostly specific event-related stuff. The ones I have at home are kept in a box in my room where nobody can put their grubby fingers on them...The only problem with mini albums is that stuff tends to fall off. A lot. I love page protectors!
What a great souvenir idea! You're so talented!
Have a great week too!
Mwah
XOXO LOLA:)
What a fabulous album, no wonder they loved it! What a fantastic gift!
What a beautiful mini! I don't do them often myself but they do give a sense of completion and satisfaction when they're done!
Carrie, it is a lovely mini and so very thoughtful. The color scheme is so dramatic. Beautiful job.
That's so nice! They do make a beautiful couple and you make a beautiful mini :)
I make photo books as gifts at places like Snapfish. Then when I get them I decorate the pages with scrapbook stickers, ribbons, embellishments, etc. Does that count? Haha!
rats!! did i miss some big cool giveaway!?? i've been bad. not blogging enough *smacking hand*
BEE u T FULLLLL mini!!
They look so pleased with your gift!
really well done!!
I love making minis, but i dont let everyone touch them. im very selfish wiht my minis!!
I love Minis too. they are great for events like wedding. I am starting on of a mini vacation my Husband and I went on. But I don't like to give them away. I like to keep all the pictures and pretty stuff to myself!
You done an AMAZING job with this!! I love the pics! And i love their faces when they opened it!
Each page is beautiful! :)
Hugs,
Hollie
What an amazing gift! Totally, totally cool! So are you saying a mini doesn't have the protective sleeves in it? Just mounted right to the page? I don't know if I'd like that either. They must have just been overwhelmed with your thoughtfulness. You're cool!
Oh what a beautiful gift to give. They obviously loved it. Really gorgeous pictures too.

Gorgeous mini! The black and red color scheme is so very classy:-) Love it!!!
I don't do a lot of mini's and when I do I mostly give them as gifts!
Love what you did with this mini album! Your SIL looks so excited receiving it!! I am loving minis more and more and can't get enough of them! I have a basket full now too!
This is BEAUTIFUL, what a great gift :)
This is the most stunning mini and what a gift that gives and gives! Beth
This is just amazing!!! You really did an awesome job! It is just breathtaking!!!! I do a lot of minis. I give them as gifts for just about every shower I go to. It is hard sometimes though because I do not add the photos most of the time and that can make it tricky! I can tell by your SIL face she was shocked and amazed! Just love the reaction!!!
