"Sisters" Squash Mini Album

I made this mini album for my only sister, my best bud! She loves lime green, hot pink, and black (the colors of her craft room - mine is all about purple!). I just thought it was time I told my sister how special she is to me. Thank you to Mary at CardzTV for the instructional video that made this project so easy to make!

I've always wondered: how does a person get through life without a sister?

I bought this cute stamp set last year and this is the first time I've used it. This is a simple 3"x3" card. The inside says, "Let's makes some waves!" I enjoy making little 3" square cards to use up my small CS scraps.

First thank you Mary at CardzTV for the instructional video for this mini album. The inside of the mini album is made from a single sheet of 12x12 DP. Then it's just tags, ribbon, two covers, and the DP for the covers. I have not finished the inside of this album yet! (see the video at http://cardztv.blogspot.com/)
