I am always trying to come up with the quickest and easiest projects for Creativity Prompt, but this time I have really outdone myself…

All you have to do is gather all your 4″ by 6″ photos together and in a matter of minutes they are all assembled in a cute mini album, with a twist.

This project is perfect as a last minute gift, or a mass production gift as well as a way to deal with a large amount of photos that convey the same story.

If you want to watch me make this mini album, than keep scrolling.

Tools & Supply

• Your batch of standard size photos (4″ by 6″)
• 1 sheet of 12″ by 12″ cardstock (cut to 4 pieces sized 4″ by 6″ each)
• 1 piece of acetate sized 4″ by 6″.
• Paper trimmer
• Patterned paper
