Today I am showcasing a Mini Tag Album that I have created for an upcoming class! It is simply "Splendid". This tag album is made out of 3 toilet paper rolls (ssshhhh don't tell my son, he's collecting them for some reason). I flattened the rolls, sponged and covered them! I used my brand new (Christmas time) Bind-it-all!!! I used the new Splendor paper pack and several new stamp sets to create this "splendid album". It will hold 5 wallet sized photos!
