Best Creation Mini Book Blog Hop!!

Hi and Welcome to the Best Creation Mini Book Blog Hop!!
How would you like to learn how to create a fun Mini Book out of one 12x12 and be inspired to make 20 different versions of it?

Well get ready to hop- because today on each of our blogs we will share with you some fun and creative ideas to make the simple book we made at the CHA Winter Show.
****************************************************************
At the Best Creation blog, you learned the basics of the book. You have hopped to many amazing blogs and seen some fabulous takes on this simple design. I have one final take to share with you before you hop on back to the Best Creation blog!
My minibook is a little brag book for my purse! I have been meaning to make one for quite a while, and this was the perfect opportunity! I kept it pretty simple, so that there is not a lot to fall off or get caught on things in my bag!
Here are some pics of the cover and a couple of the pages. I won't bore you with showing you them all! :) I have 5 children, and there are 5 double page spreads in my mini. So each child has a double spread. I rotated my book so that it opens on the top, to give it a bit of a different look, and to incorporate my 4x3 photo's perfectly!

I kept my inside design super simple. This is a photo album... It will be seen by lots of people who are not into paper crafting, so I want the focus to be on the photo's... not all the fancy stuff... just this once! ;)


I used the Glitter Basics paper for my basic album. Then I incorporated the Bella paper collection to add some fun color.
To create the binding, I hand stitched the pages together. Then i added the strip of striped paper using Helmar's Premium Craft Glue. After punching 2 holes I tied some ribbon and then scored the pages to fold. Simple as can be! :)
The entire album is held to gether using Helmar's Premium Craft glue and Quick Fix Adhesive runner.
