Family Memories Mini Album with Lori Whitlock

Hello everyone! Today, I'm sharing my latest Lori Whitlock Design Team Project here and over on Lori Whitlock's site today. I'm always excited when a new paper collection arrives at my doorstep and this week I received the fabulous Echo park, Reflections Collection also designed by Lori. It was my inspiration for this Family Memories mini album. 

Mini albums are my favorite project so I love that Lori has so many wonderful options in her shop. For today’s scrapbook, I used her Tiered Album Bracket cut file (link below). 


On the cover, I made the title using Lori’s Family Memories file and Bazzill cardstock in pinecone. I added a small twine bow for a little dimension.


This paper collection has a vintage feel so it could be perfect for older family photos or more recent ones. And I just love the pretty fall colors!


I added a fold-up card (aka the flippie) to one of the album pages for extra photo space. To give the flippie more interest, I cut out two hinges from another one of Lori’s files called 6 Hinges. Depending on the size you make them, you could add brads to the holes or a little bling like I did.



I always have fun creating small details so I added the little chipboard heart shaped lock, another gem, and more twine.

To enhance the vintage feel of my album, I added a pretty frame with a 4th cutting file titled Fancy Fame. I added a few gems for more sparkle!

I've added the product links below to make shopping easy. I hope you'll try Lori's amazing Tiered Bracket Album cutting file and her new Reflections Collection by Echo Park. Happy scrapping!
