Hello everyone, and Happy Easter. It is Kirsten here, showing a spring minialbum with the Time for Tea paper collection, photos from Norway and lots of dies. The LDRS dies are very versatile, and I wanted to give you some inspiration on how to use them in a minialbum.
The album
I also wanted to use one of the new dies as an embossing folder at the back of the album. This was done by using by cutting two Lovelette dies cuts, gluing them together, and using this as an embossing folder on white cardstock. This works perfectly as an embossing folder. The heart has been cut out with the heart from the same dies set.
At the oppsite side, I used the dragon fly embossing folder from the Timeless embossing folder set.
The inside of the album
The album has five pages, decorated on both sides.
The first page is an introduction to the theme of the album, photos from Norway.

The flower photo has been cut out with a circular die from the fancy circle die set. The fence and the dragon flies at the back is from the Allifair build a card die set.
