Hello everyone! For this week’s inspiration I prepared a mini album (Laparello). I used Black Friday released card bases to create this project super fast. I love how this album turned out. It could be a great gift for a baby shower or welcome baby gift. I created a pizza opening box tutorial which will match this project. Also you could extend by adding another card base to create a larger mini album. You could showcase 12 months baby photos. Album could stand free so it would look amazing on the shelf. Enjoy!
