Paper Pumpkin mini album

Happy Thursday!  Are you getting your fill of the September Paper Pumpkin kit yet?  Honestly, I do own other supplies, but I am just having the absolute best time playing with this kit!! I have yet another little project to share with you today that uses the September PP kit!! Want to see?

I made a mini album!!  It is the perfect little size to add a few pictures to or add a handful of quotes to or to jot down some notes in!!  It's a tiny, little, fun book!  I have a special place in my heart for mini's and this one gave me the warm and fuzzies!!  I cannot wait to get some photos of the people I am most thankful for added to it!!

I used one of the pillow boxes to make it.  I simply cut off the top and bottom fold-y parts and viola'!!  It was just begging to be turned into a mini book or card!!  It is already embossed on the front (and back!), so it only required minimal decorating.


The book measures 3'' x  4" when closed, so I cut 2 pieces of Very Vanilla at 3 3/4" x 5 1/2" and scored them both at 2 3/4".  You could probably add another, but I wanted to keep this simple.  I sandwiched them together and stapled them in place.

I used the leaf stamp from the kit and stamped a different color leaf on the edge of each page.  Since I plan to add photos I didn't want the backgrounds to be too busy.

Cute little page just waiting for a picture!

I added one of the gold stickers to a piece of Cherry Cobbler and fussy cut around it.  I layered it onto one of the kit die cuts.  I cut the gold strip off of the sticker page that the gold stickers came on!  I like to make use of as much of the kit as I can! ;)   I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using Stitched Framelits and added some Pumpkin Pie accent dots using a standard hole punch.

I really enjoyed making this little guy!  I think they would make great gifts!!  Stocking stuffers or even place cards at your Thanksgiving table come to mind!!  So many fun possibilities!

Here are the goodies that I  used to create this mini:
