Right now onto my project for today!!!!!!!! A few weeks ago I went to an awesome retreat known as Camp Mojo and had a ball!!! So what better to scrap than a weekend away with good friends :) I always grumble a bit about mini albums as I don't like the getting it all together ready to scrap bit - but print out a bunch of photo's - cover each page with different paper and start at the beginning!!!!!! I ALWAYS fall in love with it as I go and by the end of it - discover it is so worth the effort and love how mini albums turn out :)
Graphic 45's Le Cirque papers were just perfect for this album and if you take an extra close look you may discover another one of my projects in the making... ;)

Hints / Tips
• To add extra pages into album trace around scalloped chipboard page onto cardstock/transparency and cut out. Page maybe folded in half and stuck together to give a different size page in album.
• Chipboard pages were traced around onto G45 paper then cut out and adhered using Mod Podge Matt. Ink all edges once dry to give a professional finish

Awesome mini album. I tend to agree that I drag my feet when it comes to doing them but I usually love how they turn out.
I haven't made a mini in ages. Looking at yours reminded me how much fun they are to make, and yours is so cute with that gorgeous paper !
I love making mini albums. I usually give them as gifts, no photos added. I think I will make this one for myself. I loved all the papers, flowers and bling that you added. Thanks for the inspiration. I live on the east coast of the US. Too far to travel to take one of your classes. My loss!
Yowza! Your album is really, really cute. I love the colors, reminding me of fall and a jacket I have!Great job, Melanie.
I love love.....what a beautiful project...i love the papers!! I am inspired...thank you for showing.....every page pops with color and fun
Wow! My first impression was COLOR! What a perfect way to scrap a scrap fest. I like your idea for adding more pages, too.
I love mini albums! It's about all I do any more - to me it seems like I can get it done and have something to show. It holds my interest and I seem to lose focus on a big album. This one is amazing! I love the casual feel of it.
great album. fantastic details
Wow! You amaze me every time! This is over the top fab!
Love you Mojo Game Album. So cool!! Love it. I must get busy and make one right away, I feel the urge to scrap after all this wonderful inspirations this week.
Loved the detail to your pages, and the layouts didn't even look like traditional scrapbook layouts. Your mini-book is a real treasure; you've inspired me! Thanks.
Gorgeous mini-that camp looks like it was so much fun!!
Incredible mini - it's just fabulous the colors, the photos and great papers!
I like knob on the cover. Great photo
What a fun mini SB & great photos!!!
Holy Smokes!!! This album is just to die for. Loooove how you have fit the papers to the images. And you have embellished the album beautifully. Hugs...Mona
Oh my goodness, this is totally stunning! I have not tried a mini yet, yours is beautiful. I need to get one of these. And that paper is fabulous!
