Summer Fun Mini Album


Today is my day to design at CricutDIVA!!!



I found these 45 records at the thrift shop and thought they would make fun mini album covers!!  



I re-created the record on my Gypsy using two circles sized 7 inches and 3 inches.




I used vinyl for SUMMER FUN using the font Cherry Limeade sized to .75 inches.



I sized my letters by leaving the layer with the "record" on it open.  That way I knew my title would fit.


I cut out 3D flowers from Atriste sized from 3 - 5 inches out of sheet music and cardstock.


I inked the sheet music to match the cardstock.  I used my tweezers to roll up the flowers and liquid glue to adhere them.  I attached them to the cover with glue dots.


I traced and cut out chipboard circle pages and covered them with sheet music.  I painted the edges of the pages with a bright blue acrylic paint.


I made some photo mats and cut out some flip flops and beach tags to attach to the corners.


I cut out a wave and some fish and tied the tops with twine.


I like to make a pocket for my mini albums and include tags or coordinating paper scraps.




I cut out layered flowers from Mother's Day Bouquet sized from .88 - 2.53 inches.  I cut them out of sheet music.  Cutting did not go well as the paper is on the thin side, but I got enough to make my flowers.



I cut out some images from Life is A Beach.  The flip flops are 1.82 inches.  The tags are 1.75 inches.  The gecko is 3 inches.  I cut the images out in cardstock.



I tied a little twine on the  tags.


I attached the gecko to the back cover.


I hope you like my unique mini album.  I had a lot of fun making it!!
