A Doggone Cute Mini Album!

 
 

Fur kids are family too, right?! The Bark collection is great for documenting furry family members because it is colorful and fun! I began this mini album by first die cutting all of the pages out of different patterned papers using an Echo Park label cut file from the Silhouette Design store. This is definitely my new favorite way to make mini albums! It is so easy!  I embellished my mini album cover with the doghouse and banner stickers. And then I die cut a cute little pooch from the Dog Bark Die Set. Isn't he just adorable?!?


 

The mix of patterns is this collection is fabulous! It includes everything from a fun multi-color plaid to a great dog print! I also cut a few hearts from the Puppy Love Die Set and embellished them with a little embroidery floss for dimension.
 

 

I love the paw print patterned papers too! And how fun is that little fire hydrant sticker embellished with a little red button! I machine stitched around the pages of each of my pages. But if you don't sew, you can get a similar look by drawing in little dashed lines with a thin tipped marker.
 

 

I die cut "bark, bark" from the Dog Bark Die Set to create a bold page design and added another die cut heart. And I could not forget about the cute stamp set that coordinates with the Bark collection! It includes lots of great images- including this cute pooch!
 

 
I then trimmed the dog emblem from patterned paper and embellished it with a red stamped banner. To finish my album, I cut a phrase from patterned paper and adhered it next to a sweet little dog sticker. So easy and so cute! The multi-colored paw print background is one of my new favorite patterned papers! Thanks for letting me share my mini album and my fur kid with all of you!
