Scrap That! Launches a Mini Album Kit

Scrap That! is pleased to present our very first mini album kit featuring Basic Grey's Cappella Collection and paired with a gorgeous Edgy Album from Bo Bunny. I had the pleasure of being asked to design the albums for this MINI ALBUM Kit Club and of course, I accepted!! So... you will be seing a LOT more mini albums in my upcoming repitoire of projects (they are so addicting)

Well.... are you ready to be dazzled? Rich browns, sweet cream and soft neutrals are the stunning palette of this kit. Old world elegance, ripe with tradition. Each kit comes with detailed step-by-step instructions for you to recreate the same mini as show below or you can create your own masterpiece with the beautiful kit contents.

The full kit - LOVED working with this soft line so much - very versatile and gorgeous for any occasion. I chose to do the mini as a gift for my bff and showcase her new baby Aveline.

Here is a close up of some fussy cutting (love this technique) as well as those gorgeous crochet doilies that have made their way into each and every one of my latest projects. I inked the alphas and finished with glossy accents.

What a little doll!! Some beautiful Prima blooms, vintage lace, velvet leaves....

Close up of all the beautiful textures. On the alphas here I used some distress paint and ink.

With each page of the mini, I tried to have consistency from one page to the next. I often designed the pages with 2 together to ensure that the papers matched one another and so that there was a certain flow. Look at the beautiful fabric bloom and velvet leaves from Prima and of course some gorgeous pink pearl flourishes from ZVA Creative!


Mom and Dad with their new babe. Love these shots! For the butterflies you can either use a punch or simply trace out a butterfly shape from another piece of patterned paper (I used one from Basic Grey Ambrosia Collection) and cut out from your paper pad.

The mini album also came with some cool chipboard flourishes. I cut mine slightly to create the number '3'. Love the contrast of this page - the black - still looks fantastic with the rest of the album with the fussy cut blooms and beautiful, soft ribbon.


I hope that you've enjoyed this album as much as I enjoyed creating it. I look forward to working with this new medium - mini albums - more frequently as they make such wonderful gifts and memorable keepsakes. With the step by step instructions, the albums are very simple and quick (quick for you - not me - LOL!)

We're already busy planning our next few months' - staying true to our classic style and leaning a little towards the vintage/rustic feel that I call my own. You won't be disappointed in these gorgeous mini kits.
