“Hello friends,
Here is my April mini-album featuring the beautiful Indigo collection. I wanted to use a very delicate white/cream color palette with a pop of pink for the cover and spine. I love the size of this mini and the big flower and ribbon as the focal points. I also love the sweet, tiny embellishments I used for the cover.” -Beatriz Jennings of iralamija

“Hello, today I am sharing my romantic mini album created with the beautiful “Miel” collection, which is the essence of France.  This collection is very versatile: you can make an album about a journey, about love, or a holiday – you are only limited by your imagination!  “Miel” definitely has a special place in my heart.” -Sofiia Sabaeva of sabaeva_scrap

“For me, this mini is a breath of fresh air after a very long winter here in Iceland. When I was designing this album I focused on light colors, shabby embellishments, flowers, and a romantic feeling. Spring for me represents the rebirth of nature and love and that’s what this mini is all about” -Aneta Matuszewska of artisant.by.aneta

“I love creating mini albums because they don’t take as much time and effort as a regular album would, but you still get to enjoy the process and have an album ready in just a few days. For this mini, I wanted to make a vintage shabby album and chose Frank’s Memory Hardware and Miel collection. Miel is just perfect for creating vintage projects, and with a touch of lace and texture pastes you can create an amazing shabby project.” -Sasha Novak of papercrafts_engineer

“Hello, friends! The wonderful Spring mood is here and is my inspiration to create with Frank’s “My sweet” collection. I am sharing two small tag albums today, adorned with beautiful decorative elements and magic butterflies! I want to wish you a sunny spring mood and a lot of inspiration with Frank Garcia collections.” – Natalia Vagner of scrapsibir

“Mini albums are always so beautiful. I love how delicate and versatile they are. 

For this album, I chose to work with a white cardboard base. I love how it holds up the project. For the spine of the mini album, I created handmade tassels with paper from the Miel collection, along with a few butterfly and bee charms. This helped me create an anchor for the album’s internal structure.” -Karlla Dauer of scrapbykarlladauer

“All of Frank Garcia’s collections are amazing and very beautiful, but for my album, I chose the bright and juicy “Peach Tea” collection! Frank’s new Quad Fold Album blank helped me a lot to complete this project quickly and with pleasure. The crafting base is just wonderful and I really liked it, so I decided not to cover it with anything, but rather support it with other crafting elements.” -Zhanna Rosanova of zzhanylik

“Hello, crafty friends!  Today I am sharing a cute handbag-shaped mini album. I love making albums; they are the best gift for your loved ones to store memories. I have used the gorgeous Miel collection for this album, along with fabric and paper to cover the base. This measures 5″ x 7”, and can hold up to 45 photos. Inside there are 8 pages with photo mats. I also have decorated the back of the album with a pocket to keep message tags.” -Neena Arora of neena_paperandscissors
