“Whimsical dreams and wonderland vibes—this mini album is a true storybook come to life!
Inspired by a beautiful floral blouse worn by my sweet daughter-in-law, I immediately thought of Graphic 45’s Curiouser & Curiouser paper collection. The colors, florals, and playful details perfectly matched the energy of the photos my son gave me… and just like that, the idea for this 5×7 mini album started blooming.
To bring it all together, I used the Curiouser & Curiouser 12×12 paper pad, coordinating chipboard, and all the enchanting stickers and ephemera I could tuck between the pages. (You can find both goodies in the G45 shop—links below!)
Mini albums have always been one of my favorite ways to craft. There’s something so special about building each page by hand, layering memories with paper and love. This one was made with my family in mind—a keepsake filled with joy, color, and a touch of curiosity.
