Since I don't want to fill a complete album or binder for every little trip we make I decided to just create a fun little mini album using the pockets and cards together with some pocket pages cut to the right size.

I know lots of your are I love with washi tape....let me make a big confession here...I hardly use it, so there, I said it! I have some and sometimes use little pieces on my project but I don't horde them. Better said, you can count them on one hand.

For this project I did use my washi tape, a lot. Maybe in a slightly different way than you should expect. The binding I made using washi tape.

Now you have seen how I put the album together lets take a look at the completed project :)Hope you are ready for a picture overload! The inside contains 13 "pages" and has 16 photo's included

The inside of the cover contains no more than just a card and some stickers.

To create the inside photo pockets I used two 6x8" pockets which I just cut in half.

How fun is it to include some memorables from your city trip? Here I included the ice tea stamper Noa got with her drink. By just braking of the lower piece it was possible to ad it.

Bij slipping one of those cute cards into a pocket you can easily add some journaling to your mini.

Don't you just love those Flair Icons which look just like a button, put don't come with a pin but with a sticky backside :)

Here I added a picture to the Sn@p! Cute page, by doing the same on the other side you cover the back of your pictures and your page is done!

Here you can see that I used to upper side of the pocket page which I cut in half. That leaves you with a pocket thats open on both sides. By using a sticker tab at the bottom of the pocket and by folding if in half, so it covers both sides, so close a part of the lower side of the pocket which keeps your picture from falling out.
