Cruise Mini Album & Altoids Tin - May Blog Hop with Lori Whitlock

Hello my friends! Today is Lori Whitlock's May Blog Hop and my blog is the first stop on the hop. But be sure to visit Lori's site too because she has a sale and more great products for you!

For my project today, I made a micro sized, accordion style mini album that fits inside a 3.75" x 2.25" Altoids tin. It's so cute and such a fun little project. I made one a few years ago with a Birthday Dragon theme. I loved it so much that I thought it was time for a new version. Take a look ...

I created this with Lori's awesome cutting file called Altered Altoids Tin with Mini Album (link below). I also used the Echo Park Magical Voyage Collection and gave it a cruise vacation theme. However, you could use ANY paper collection to customize it for your needs. 

I have so many ideas for this little cutie! 

⭐ Give this to someone as a creative way of telling them you're taking them on a cruise. Add tickets, clues, or notes. 

⭐ This would make a great gift idea filled with gift cards, small photos, pins, jewelry, candy, etc.

⭐ Use these as table gifts or name cards for a cruise dinner. Each person could add their own photos to the mini album to remember the event.

⭐ It would also make a fun little treat for a child during a cruise.

Here's how I made it ... For the sweet little tin, I covered the exterior with the 12x12 Sail Away Stripes paper and embellished with some puffy and cardstock stickers from the 12x12 sheet.

Inside, I added more fun embellishments and the adorable little scrapbook album. It fits perfectly with rounded corners.

I used 6x6 papers for the mini and I'm loving the way the smaller sized prints look on it. It has 5 little pocket pages, 5 tags, and space for 15 photos. I also added some die cut pieces to the pockets for fun!

On the other side, the pages have stickers and perfect spots for photos.

There are more inspiring projects to see today, so ... be sure to hop to each blog for more great ideas!
