I created this little mini photo album for the February Cricut Mini Albums Magazine. I created a similar album on my blog awhile back that you can see HERE. I have additional step by steps a little further down on how you can make a little album with a recycled ribbon spool. I used the Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge for the cute couple in the Love Bug. I added a bit of doily and a flower cut from the Mother's Day Bouquet Cartridge.
Here's a look at the album when it is completely open. :)
The ribbon spool houses the circular photos....
Any ribbon spool will work, I just happened to use a Papertrey one. I took one side off and adhered designer paper to it.
The bottom portion was painted black and sprinkled with glitter. Glitter always makes things better! :D Cut your pictures into circles with a Circle punch or Spellbinder's circle die.
Here is the magazine's photo.....Love how they stage the projects! I wish I could do such a good job!
It is prom night for Cortney and Kyle's Spring dance....so busy day ahead of me! :)
Have a great weekend!

This is super cute -- I'm thinking of making one for my nephew's wedding! Now I know what to do with all those empty spools! :)
A fun little album! I'm going to have to make one.

Could you add some extra photos by putting them back-to-back with the existing ones on the ribbon, and run the ribbon in between the two photos?
Adorable!
