Jake and Leo's Mini Album

I made the mini album for our friends Ken and Sharon who were moving out of state. I took all but the pictures with Amanda on two different occasions last year. I had taken my camera originally to take pictures of their beautiful flowers. I took the pictures that included Amanda a couple of weeks ago.

I saw Leo in the window and took some pictures on a whim. So glad I did when I got the hilarious picture of his behind up in the air facing me and turning around to look at me! I had a mini album in mind and took some of Jake later but my idea didn't jell until I was faced with a deadline when their moved got pushed up. 

I think my new AccuCut folder die is the perfect size for a mini album. I ordered AccuCut Folder F1504J WITHOUT a crease so that I could make albums and calendars with it.

This album is my third entry in the 3rd Annual AccuCut Grande Mark Challenge.

Cover, wasn't as nice as I wanted but I was down to the wire and had to do something!

Jake and Leo are cut out of gold metallic mat board and the front and back covers are cut out of terracotta mat board. Dog, Cat and & are cut out of shiny black mat board.

That "smudge" on the left tab is where I partially erased their last name.

I lucked out and got that paw print border die at Jo Ann's when we went to El Paso in March.

I've had the Paw Print alphabet stamp set for several years.

I fuzzed out Ken's face, I don't like to put people online unless I've specifically asked them.

Jake is saying PLEASE pick me up! He finally got his way!

As earlier, I fuzzed out his face. 
Amanda was very happy sharing Ken's lap with Jake. Jake was just a LITTLE jealous!

The end of Jake's part of the album and the beginning of Leo's!

Leo watching his world.

Uh oh, must not like me out there taking pictures of the beautiful flowers and NOT paying attention to his beautiful self! :) 

The end! The smudges are just hiding phone numbers and last names.

I was so happy that they really loved the album.
