my #50until50 mini album pages

#mini album #scrapbooking #paper pads  #baker's twine

It's been three months since I turned 50 and have been wanting to work on getting all those lists together into a mini album. But, if you're a regular reader, you know that we've had some sorrow in our family that has kind of taken us all by surprise and kind of put a damper on my crafting mojo.

I found a mini album at Tuesday Morning that would take the mountain of 6x6 paper pads I have from My Mind's Eye perfectly with no need for page protectors.

Here's what it looks like with just 27 lists. I'm not sure what my plan is for the remaining lists as I want them all to be in the same mini album. It my be that it's a chunkily album that doesn't properly close...and I'm okay with that.

The girls and I were on the porch after dinner and I decided to get a lap tray, my embellishment stash, a few spools of baker's twine and the 6x6 papers I had already chosen and spend some time adding my lists to the paper. I had already written my lists on these manila shipping tags one night when we were watching tv, a marathon of Big Bang Theory I think.

And here are a few pages I shared on Instagram a few nights ago. I pulled out all the open embellishment packages from my time as a My Mind's Eye Design Team member and decided to limit myself to them as a way of using up what was already open. So far, so good.

I'll keep working on my lists and in finding solution for getting the rest of my 50 lists in there. Here's a post about my album set-up.
