I wanted to stop in and show you a little mini album created with the Jenni Bowlin main kit! I used the journaling cards and Pink Paislee Daily Junque ephemera to create this fun little book. I also used the Studio Calico alpha and Jenni Bowlin Blue Ribbon Embellishments from the Farmer's Market add-on. Take a peek...
I didn't add photos - but the theme of this mini is just some little words of advice....you could add photos or just journaling - maybe journal about your advice and experiences of what you've learned along the path of life? Or encouraging words for someone special?
There are 10 pages all together in this little book. I used the Studio Calico journaling stickers on some of the pages like I did on the first page. The little sayings were trimmed down and stapled to the right hand side to keep the flow looking similar throughout...
The large cards with the sayings on them are by Pink Paislee as well. (Daily Junque Ephemera)
I tied the book together with some twine from my stash. Don't you just dig those alphas!? I need to get some more of those. They are by Studio Calico.
On this page, I used a little sewing pin to attach the butterfly. It is adhered under the saying, so it won't move around.
Love the yummy wooden buttons in this kit. Don't be afraid to layer the journaling cards like I did here!
Here I used a Jenni Bowlin sticker on the side, then added the typewriter and saying over the top.
On the last page, I adhered more of the little butterflies with Extreme Adhesive Squares by Glue Arts. (They are similar to Glue Dots, but I love them a lot more than Glue Dots.) Aren't they pretty how they catch the light?
I have decided to give this little book away to one of my blog readers, so you can add your own photos and journaling wisdom inside for someone special! If you are interested, please leave me a note and I'll choose a winner this weekend sometime! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Danielle, your mini is so sweet. I would love to scribble some kind notes to myself in it. I'm trying to revamp my life, go to college, and work on myself.

Thanks for the inspiration on your blog. I look forward to reading it all the time.
