My best friend Victoria and I like to receive mail.
We are funny like that, maybe because we live so far apart but it is exciting to walk to the mailbox to see if there is a long distant hug from her in the form of an envelope.
So I keep a lot of cards from Victoria and other dear friends on my inspiration board because they are "happy thoughts" for me when I need a pick me up, a laugh or a smile. Running out of room, I came up with this little album to hold all of these mementos together.
Supplies:
- I made two albums with one package of those chipboard books you find in the dollar bins at Michael's.
- Scrapbook paper & Embellishments
- Scissors & Glue
- Two books rings for each album
- Round Paper Punch

Okay, I know you are smiling just looking at this one. |
Front cover. |
Inside, I added a vintage postcard and wrote a note for her. |
I love this Best Friend= kitchen aid mixer, diamonds & dogs. |
I added an envelope too. |
Embellishments from Michael's. Oh so pretty. |
Another photo that she can change out if she wants to update the photo. |
This quote was a good one, kinda wish I would have typed it rather than hand written. |
Back of the album. |
I hope that Victoria enjoys her album. It was a lot of fun to create and even more fun to go through and read all the cards. I would love to hear from you if you create your own.
