I LOVE this mini album that Melanie created to commemorate her 40th Birthday!  Constructed completely by hand it has so many features and lots of fantastic little details!  Enjoy your stroll!

The binding was one of my favorite features {and one I'll incorporate into my own work} so I had to get lots of shots so you can re-create this at home.  There are even more photos at the bottom!

Notice how Melanie uses the lunch sacks in her album.  While they connect some of the pages ... you'll discover that in some of the 'valleys' there is nothing connecting the left side to the right side of the album.  LOVE this feature!

The back of each card Melanie journaled on looks like this.

Isn't this FABULOUS!  One of the ladies in our office {Debbie} is quickly approaching her 50th and she is planning on marking the occasion with an album just like this.  What an AWESOME idea!  Thank you so much Melanie!
