Vacation Mini Book

My husband got me a "Your Story Photo" mini book binder thing :) for Christmas.  I wanted it because you don't always want to do a big book for everything, and I thought this would be good for all those "mini" things...small vacations, things you didn't take a ton of photos of, you know what I mean.  So, for my first book(s), I decided to do our summer of 2005...we did a mini vacation in San Diego (which is only a couple hours away from us), and another long weekend in Las Vegas.  It ended up being 2 books when I finished, and I did have to reinforce the binding with some glue, 'cause I still made them too thick LOL!  Live and learn.  I'm not going to bore you with all the pages, but thought I'd just show you some fun tips:

Even though the books come with cute shiney covers, you can still decorate them.  Also, you can see I used tabs and stuff that sticks out of the book.

Use a postcard as a page of the book...I pick up postcards all the time now when I go somewhere :)

To fit of photos on a page, I used my circle punch, and cut some of them long and skinny.

I did a "pull out" with five pictures...4 are back to back, and the 5th is the anchor on this page.

And on this page I did a "fan" of 3 pictures.

Thanks for looking!Tammy
