I love to make hand-made mini books. You can use them as minialbums, to hold some pictures from a holiday or shots from your childhood, or use them to stamp meaningful quotes and give it to someone. You just need heavy cardstock for the cover, lighter cardstock for the inner pages, stamps, paints and your imagination
Step1- Cut 3 pieces of cardstocks to size and join them together with masking tape.
Step2- Glue some patterned papers to the cover.
Step3- To tone down the colours a little bit, cover with a layer of white gesso.
Step4- Give a wash of acrylic paints or crystal colours.
Step5- Cut a concertina out of cream cardstock.
Step6- Colour and stamp the inner pages.

I always love your colour selection and this little book is so cute :)
Sweet little album, and love your colors - the crystals are so fun, aren't they?! Clever use of the concertina as well - very inspirational! Best, Lynn
Oh, that is so pretty... the translucent colours with the layers below look so gorgeous. And I love the textures and the butterfly.

A gorgeous little book. You always make the pink colour scheme work so well but I always get muddy colours. I'll stick to my greens and blues! xxx
I absolutely love your stunning book ..... gorgeous colours and details. Thank you for joining us at Mini Album Makers for our challenge this month. Jennie x
