One of the first classes I’m teaching is a darling mini book made out of chipboard. Decorated with cute Crate Paper patterned paper and stickers. Each page inside is a glassine bag so you can add love notes, photos and other memorable keepsakes.
This would make a great gift for Mother’s Day, a keepsake for yourself, or give to one of your children.
I love this book because I keep little tid-bits of our lives and it is fun to have a place to showcase them.
The workshop will include video tutorials, detailed instructions and photos. Lessons will be posted weekdays at 9 am central time. You will be sent an email as a reminder to check out the class.

So excited to take this class, as soon as I found out I was pregnant with a girl I was scheming ways to re-create this album. Now I don’t have to, cause of this lovely class
so beautiful! but i can’t find the price?
It’s in the blog post now and also under the classes tab. Thanks!
I really want to do this for my next baby. I hope to find out if it’s a boy or girl in 3 weeks so will be placing my order as soon as I find out.
Ths looks like such an adorable project! Always excited to tackle a mini album! =)
I AM SO EXCITED! This is my first class ever
I am never able to afford them cos I’m just a teenager from overseas with no money lol ( I pretty much cried when I missed out on your ‘unlock your story’ class!) but I’m loving the look of the USD/NZD dollars at the moment hehe.
Can’t wait to do this project! You’re my idol Liz

Oh, I find out Monday whether we’re having a boy or girl (our first little one)! I’m so signing up Monday if any kits are left. Love the new site!
I am so excited to to this cute little book. As I took the “class only” version, is there a list with the material needed? Thanks so much:-)))
Yes, we will be sending you a list of supplies by this Friday the 29th so you can start getting your supplies together. Thanks!
Just signed up for this class. can’t wait to take my first class with you.
This is such a cute book, and I want to make one for my sis in law for a shower gift! Can you please tell me how big the finished book is, and Can I add extra pages of my own to the book? Also, this will be my first time making anything! I can’t wait!
There is 10-11 envelope pages included, but of course you can add as many pages as you like!
Thanks,but how big is the book? 6 in? 8 in? And, does it come with all the decorations I will need, like the bug on the front cover? I love the look of the one on the site….mine will say Ava bug! Sorry for all the questions, first timer here!!
Thanks for the patience
Does this come with all the decorations?
Yes, if you purchase the kit it comes with all the embellishments or you can sign up for the class ticket only and us your own supplies.

Just the class I was wishing for. Have just purchased it and now I cross my fingers that you have more girl-kits left.
Just ordered my girl kit, and can’t wait to get it! This will be my first ever scrapbook type, and so excited about it being an envelope book! Let the fun begin
Oh no, no boy kit! Really? Not even one? Pleaaaase!
Will you sell more?

Have now answered my own question ! Can’t wait to start!
