Last we left off on this project, we had just finished putting together the album with chipboard, fabric and Sizzix Texture Roll. Now it's time to decorate this album and I've got a full video tutorial for you sharing my tips and tricks!

I won't go into detail here in this post because I cover everything in my video. So make sure you head over to my YouTube channel to check it all out! But I will share a few photos here.

I also talk about creating placeholders for photos that you might add later by creating mattes and how to decorate around them.

I also share how I created a little flip book and the best dimensional paper flowers to use on the inside pages.

I hope this album inspires you to make your own custom mini album, and until next time, happy crafting!
