Be sure to see more of Mel's mini album here. To keep up with Mel and see more of her work, be sure to follow her here at SC, visit her blog and follow her on Instagram!

I have a new found love for mini albums and thought it would be fun to create an album using 3x4 PL cards. The process to create this mini album was rather simple, layers, lots of layers. I used a PL kit as my starting base and added various items such as a white shipping tag, a wood veneer card and a transparency. My pictures are sized to 3x4 to compliment the PL cards, I added two 4x5 pieces of pattern paper to create the covers. I wanted the cards and embellishments to peak out at the top and on the side of my mini album, to achieve this look I simply layered the 3x4 cards at different heights. As you can see, all those 3x4 PL cards you've been collecting can also be used in a mini album, they really simplify the process. Thank you for choosing my mini album as LOTW, hope you enjoy!
