My first mini in over two years — and it isn’t for me or my boy!

I made it for a Eliza to be used at her first birthday party.

I used an acrylic flower album and kept it pretty simple.

Karye will use my Fuji Instax Camera to photograph Eliza’s guests.  Each page has a mat for a photo and some blank areas for well wishes, favorite memory of Eliza in her first year, etc.

I kept it pretty simple — a photo mat, a strip of pattern paper, and a piece of washi tape.  I made all the pages using this recipe — I just changed the orientation of the pattern paper and washi tape.

On the acrylic pages, I adhered a photo of Eliza (or Eliza with her mama or daddy) with a strip of pattern paper, a piece of washi tape (I LOVE washi tape!), and a few word stickers.  I love the simplicity of this birthday book.  I think I may do it for Samuel’s 2nd birthday party.

Behind the photos, I include blank pages for her parents to do a bit of journaling.

I am thinking that this is the perfect gift for birthday parties for the little ones.
