Here's my fun, quick, EASY mini album I made.

Hope you like my little mini birthday album!

I used the Cricut cartridge, NIFTY FIFTIES, for all the die cuts....

...except the frame which is a cut from STAND & SALUTE.

Several of the pages and layers are dry embossed with the Cuttlebug.

All of the papers and stickers are from Echo Park's HAPPY DAYS paper collection pack.

All sentiment stamps are from Mary's Cardz TV Stamps "Make A Wish" set.

Details for this album are quite lengthy, so I didn't post it here. If you'd like all the details to make an album like this yourself, just shoot me an email, and I'll get them right out to you.
