Quick and Easy Mini Album

Aug 29, 2011

A lit­tle bird once said… 

Here is the mini album I told you I would share, last week. It is one of Terri I did for her, her senior year in High School in 2006. It seems like it was just yes­ter­day, we were tak­ing these pho­tos. Now Ans­ley is a senior. Peo­ple are not kid­ding when they say time flies! It does and FAST.

The chip­board and flower embell­ish­ments on the cover of the album are by Maya Road that I altered using crackle paint, glit­ter and Dia­mond Stickles. I cov­ered the back of each page with a solid piece of pat­terned paper, this was Scenic Route… sure do miss them… the front of the remain­ing album pages I cov­ered with pat­terned paper, pat­terned paper strips cut using dec­o­ra­tive scis­sors, a photo and jour­nal­ing. I then accented some of the pat­terns on the paper using Dia­mond Stickles.

One day you will be 18 years old and eager to spread your wings and fly. 

One day you would obtain your dream and desire of going to col­lege and liv­ing on your own. 

One day I would look into your eyes and no longer see a lit­tle girl but a beau­ti­ful young lady. 

One day I would have to let you fol­low your own path and cre­ate your own journey.

One day I would have to sit back and watch you begin your own life. 

One day I would see a young lady who is ready to con­quer the world. 

But… one thing this lit­tle bird for­got to tell me was all this would hap­pen in the blink of an eye. I love you, Mom. 

Now I need to take pho­tos of Ans­ley and make the very same album for her. Yikes! I’m dis­cov­er­ing this lit­tle bird for­got to tell me a lot!

Hugs!
