Happy Campers Mini Album

Hola Bloggers! :) Ahhhhh sweet sweet summer and what's a better way to spend time than camping in the pines with your loved ones....lol Since I've set the scene now...here's a mini that I made for the sweetestet person that I love so much. And I gave her this mini last night and she LOVES IT!!!! She ooooed and ahhhhed over all the critters on the pages and over all the details within this mini...It's such a pleasure to see that expression of happiness . She said she took pictures of her and her family and wants to print pics off so that she can fill her book. :) I'm just thankful I can bring a smile on her face and to mine. Here are some pics of the mini, I have a video on this project over on YT and you can find that HERE. I just got some new pattern paper from Bo Bunny to create another camping themed mini and I can't wait to put it together, after seeing the lil critters on this line my mind is racing with ideas. Hope you all are keeping cool...sooooo looking forward to fall and for it to start cooling down. As always, thanks for stoppin by....PEACE! :)
