Mini Backpack Album

We are so lucky to have such a crafty person of Deena's caliber share her fabulous mini scrapbook idea with us. Deena's blog A Creative Need is chocka block filled with card making and craft inspiration and she also has an Etsy store filled with crafty supplies and handmade cards. I really enjoy making mini albums that reflect the time of year we’re in, or coordinate with an event in our lives.

In this case, as our children get back into the routine of school, meeting new (and old) friends, and looking forward to class field trips, I thought a mini backpack album would be a fun way to share and showcase some photos. The double front pockets are perfect for tucking in some small notes, or folded ticket stubs etc. Materials: Backpack Frame Assembly Front Pocket Assembly Inside Page Assembly 1.
