For my mini album today I decided to delve into my mini album stash and create a 4×4 Insta album using a gold We R Memory Keepers album I had and some of my favourite quotes, papers, and embellishments from the Oh My Heart collection. I am a big lover of quotes and have a Pinterest board full of ones that resonate with me. They’re sort of like a therapy tool really, when you see one that speaks to you they can either make you see the positive side to a situation, make you feel grateful for the blessings you have in your life, or even give you that pep talk that you need to pick you up when you feel down. As a mum, wife, and in my crafty and professional life, it can be all too easy to judge yourself harshly, compare yourself to others, and not give yourself enough credit. This album is a little token to remind me that I am enough, that I do deserve the love and recognition that I get, and to keep my spirits high when I am in doubt.
Here is the album that I created, I hope you find it inspiring:
I will now share with you a few of the pages and some tips and tricks for how to create one of these albums at home.
The spine contains a sticker from the Sticker Book and I created some fun dangles using some tassels I had in my stash and one of the Oh My Heart charms.

The title page is made up of papers, ephemera, and a doily from my stash of supplies. I printed all my photos into 4×4 instagram size and in black and white. I love white borders around photos so I made sure to add them to these images. In between some of the pages I also added some vellum pages, or interactive elements. The page below contains a couple of ephemera and again a small doily from my stash. I love the translucent look to the vellum and it is so easy to create your own pages. Simply cut to a 4.5″ x 4″ piece and punch holes using a plastic sleeve as the guide.
I kept the embellishing in the album relatively simple. The quotes themselves are quite clean so the more simplified style of embellishing works better in this instance.
I just had to create a shaker pocket page. I used the Birthday Bash sequins to play inside the pouch I made.
