Badge Holder Mini Album

I bought some plastic name badge holders a loooooong time ago and finally decided to dust them off and use them. My husband's sister had a baby a couple of months ago and everyone has been taking tons of pictures. I got a hold of a few and made this fun little album.



I used TAC's Hip Hop paper collection and Essential Elements. This album is very quick and simple to make. Each badge holder holds two pieces of the Hip Hop paper. I adhered a photo to the paper and then slid it inside each holder. I placed all the Essential Element tags on the outside of the badge holders, after I embellished them, and used small book rings to hold the album together.

I'm sure I could do a little more embellishing, but I also love the simple look of this. It's the perfect size to throw in my purse so that I can be ready to show off little Chase, and I don't have to be afraid that I'm going to tear anything up on the album.



Doesn't Chris look great holding little Chase? I can't wait until we get to be parents someday. He's going to make a great dad!



Supplies-

Hip Hop Fly With It collection
Simple Bet
alphabet set
fine black pen
Essential Elements
misc. green ribbon
name badge holders
book rings
sanding block

That is so neat! The album you sent me in the mail inspired me!! I am making an album of me and my hubby, using Angelee. So far it's looking good--for a beginner. Now, I am going nuts because I don't have enough pictures of us in wallet size! ;)

Great little album, Sarah, and what a wonderful gift!! I'm going to a crop next weekend, so maybe I should dust my badge holders off, too!!
