Husband's Birthday Basic Grey Chipboard Mini Album

Hi Friends!! Remember that mini album that I made for my husband for his birthday on Monday. . .well, here it is! I always make a mini album for my husband as a gift because he prefers something handmade from me rather than a bought item. The truth is because I'm not working right now, well. . .if I buy him a "bought" item . . .he'll be basically paying for his own gift. LOL!!

I actually did buy him something that I regret buying. I used my "stamp" stash money. I'll post it tomorrow. The cost of the item that I bought him was so not worth it but oh, well . . .you'll see what I mean when I post it tomorrow.

Anyway. . .I slaved away making this mini album on Monday . . .on the day of my husband's birthday. Argggh!! I was so undecided on what to make him and when I finally decided I had to hustle to make it. It took over 3 hours to make this album. I was stressed out because I wanted to finish before we headed out to dinner on Monday.

Luckily, I finished the album on time. The above photo is of my husband. This page is of me and my husband.

The album has 8 pages with a total of 16 pages front and back. I'm only showing a few of the pages.

Okay, to speed up the process of making this album, I did 3 things. . .I used Prima flowers, Die Cuts, chipboard embellishments and sticker embellishments. I also used button brads and regular buttons to embellish the Prima flowers. The whole album consisted of pretty much those elements.

Remember I said that I used "a lot" of Primas. . .I wasn't kidding! LOL! Lots and lots of primas. It's a fast and easy way to decorate a mini album.

The above pages are of my husband and my son. The photo to the right is when my son graduated from high school last year.

These two pages are of my husband and daughter. The photo to the left is my daughter when she was a girl scout.

I even added photos of our cats! LOL!! The photos are of China and Dori. . .we love them like humans.

Here's a photo of me an my daughter. The papers were from the Prima designer paper pack. The chipboard heart on this page is by Heidi Grace.

Here's Dakota our dog. . .there is also a page of our dog Phoenix but I didn't post the photo of it. . ..this post is getting too long! LOL!!

Do you see the brad on the flower? Isn't it pretty? It's by K&CO.

Anyway. . .like I said there were more pages but the designs are basically similar. Hope you like my album. My husband liked it. . .he was very happy to receive it.
