The main kit includes lots of fabulous products from Simple Stories' Book Fair collection.

Be sure to mention my name before checking out to receive a free gift! Click here to take a look at the kit.

I painted this chipboard album from Prima Marketing using a variety of paint by Perfect Paints. Next, I used the modeling paste and acrylic paints to create the fun cameras. I love playing with stencils and so this was so much fun for me.

I have a certain way that I set the pages up for this fun mixed media album. On the left-side of the page, I add a fun cluster of embellishments and on the right, there's either a photo or flip page element and occasionally a journaling card.

I kept this album pretty simple with lots of layers and pretty embellishments!

To add dimension to the stickers, I used foam squares to pop them up off the page.

Since I was getting low on die cuts, I fussy cut the stack of books and flowers from the cut-apart sheet. This is such a great way to stretch your products!

This cluster of embellishments makes  me happy. I just love them all stacked up together in this beautiful cluster. 

I created a flip page by cutting two 4x6 journaling cards so they were still attached and folded in half. Next, I mounted it to the page and added the picture and embellishments.

Here is the inside of the flip page. That little owl is too cute for words. I plan on writing a few of the books we read together on the card for our book club!

Here is a simple cluster I created using stickers and foam squares. I added a few enamel dots from my stash.

This boy is always by my side...even at night while I'm reading... Isn't Paco the cutest? I cut the sentiments from journaling cards to frame the photo. Next, I added the tag and foam sticker clips.

This is a simple page I created using a few die cuts, and foam stickers. LOVE that little wormy. Seriously, this kit is so fun!

For those of you who do not have a digital cutting machine, this kit comes with a pre-cut image and I just love it!! I heat embossed the image using gold embossing powder. Then, I glued it to the page and added some embellishments to add dimension so the page wouldn't appear too flat.

More layers...and cute owl. This is my favorite spread from this little mini. And I think the blue background really makes the embellishments pop.

I created another flip page element by cutting the journaling cards and folding it in half. Next, I mounted the top portion behind the photo to create the flip. 

What do you think? Isn't this super cute. It's been awhile since I created a fun mixed media album and it felt good to make this adorable mini. 

Thank you for visiting today and don't forget to check out the kit, here! If you would like to see the full tutorial of how this came together, I'll have the process video up on my YouTube channel tomorrow. Click here to check it out. Hope you have a great weekend!
