Mini Fiji Album

This is a cute way of putting a few small photos into a album that fits ...well ... pretty much anywhere!
Its made using a matchbox!

This is a large matchbox (about 6 x 4 cm) but you can do the same thing with a normal little matchbox, just be careful with how many embellishments you put on the 'pages'.  They all concertina out of the box so you have to keep it simple and keep it flat when it comes to embellishing! Rub ons are ideal.
This one has 11 pages but you can add more or less depending on how many photos you want to add. 

The papers and embellishments used for this album are Kaisercraft Seaside (I love the muted colours in this range). The shell charms that hang from the front act as a tab to pull the album open, they have been in my stash for years .... just waiting for the right project!!




The cat makes a lovely back ground for this photo!

The 'disc' on this page is a Fijian 5 cent coin.  The perfect size to fill a gap.



A little flat fish button worked perfectly as an embellishment.




Yes I made the little pair of Jandals (if you are from NZ) or Flip Flops to go on my favourite picture.

The edges of the pages are inked.
The photos and any papers that I added were distressed.


Completed mini album. 
Bula Vinaka!!
