I love doing mini albums for events like Christmas and vacations so I was super excited to find out The Paper Loft had chipboard albums! The heavy weight chipboard is easy to work with and makes a great foundation for a mini album.
Since we took tons of pictures on our vacation to Hawaii, the newest Paper Loft line, Island Sun, was just perfect for this album!

The cover, to which I added a cut out embellishment, flowers with button centers, and fussy cut starfish from the same paper. |
The cover of my album was inspired by this month's sketch at The Paper Loft:
 |
The wonderful cut out embellishments were great additions to the pages with the beach theme! |
 |
I love the starfish papers that is the same as the cover and the cute coordinating title piece, "a walk along the beach". |
 |
The pages are large enough to add 4X6 photos and on this spread I cut them down a bit and fit multiple photos! |
 |
The realistic shell and sand paper were perfect for the Hawaii pictures! |
 |
The plaids coordinated perfectly with the patterns! |
 |
I added bunches of fun ribbon to the binder rings! |
