Manila file folder mini album

Okay, I really did intend to post things to my blog more often than every year or so....I almost forgot I started this!! Part of the reason would be that I still have dial-up internet service! Ack!! It takes SO long to upload that I usually just quit...I have better things to be doing with my time than waiting for my antiquated ISP to work!

On to some recent artwork......

I saw a cute file folder that had been made into an album when I was browsing one day and just had to make one! The one I saw was used as an organizing file for Christmas things, like lists & receipts, but I love to scrapbook so I made mine into a mini album instead.

I used Stampin' Up! papers -le Jardin- to cover each page, and accented with flowers from the Bud Basics stamp set. I added definitions from Define Your Life stamp set.

This is what the album looks like on the inside front before pictures are added.

And this is the inside after I added a few pictures of my kiddies! Aren't they adorable! I think these are from 2000 or 2001 though, because it's been a long time since my kids were that sweet!

This is the back side of the album. Hmmmm....my baby still sucks her thumb now at 8-1/2 years old!
