Hello there friends! How are you? Today I want to share this cute little mini album I made using gorgeous Sweet Summer collection.

Some years ago I had the luck of spending few weeks with my family in Brazil, in a little town called Buzios. This was our first vacations abroad as a family of three, my little girl was only three years old, so we really enjoyed our time there. 

I realized I didn't make any mini album for properly document these happy times, so I cracked open my collection package and started working.

I decided to went for a simple binding, so I used a ring mini binder with plastic sleeves, this way I could focus on fotos and embellishments.

I printed some journaling pages on vellum, and then I embellished them a bit using Shape Sprinkles and Icon Stickers. I repeated this in few more pages on the album.

I had this big pic I really wanted to include on my mini, but since the pages were 10x10 it didn't fit on it.... but, I cut the pic in two and put it back together using some wash tape, this way I could fold my pic and include it on the mini.

I included some of the diecuts from the Odds&Ends packs as some kind of tags in different parts of the mini, I think they look cute.

I used Abigail alpha and also Teensy Typo Alpha in white color to highlight the name of the place where a given pic was taken. I like to mix different kind of alphas to make my composition more interesting.

The fruits icons are definitively my fave in this collection, they are so fresh and cute with their little faces! I used them a lot in this mini.

I combined different embellishments to decorate, including Odds & Ends, Chit Chat, shape Sprinkles and Icon stickers. I used foam dots for adhering some of my embellies, this way the design look more interesting.

I am so glad I worked on this mini album with this collection, I love the happy feeling of this collection, it certainly represents the spirit of my family vacations.

I hope you liked this mini and get inspired to start using this collection for you summery pics. if you have any question please leve me a comment! Have a fabulous day!
