I bought a polaroid camera at Target on Wednesday. There is something so cool about only getting ONE chance to take a photo. And something so cool about watching it develop. And something so cool about not being able to edit or reprint.

Mini book covers were constructed out of thin cardboard, Bazzill cardstock and paper (I think K&CO).  The pages are the photos themselves – I just gluesticked paper to the back of the polaroids and punched holes in the base.  Labels by Avery and Heidi Swapp. Letter stickers are de-flecto and pen is Sharpie.

    I’ve always wanted a polaroid. ALWAYS.
    Maybe one day. I guess I should master my D80 first.
    Loving the mini. The pink makes me happy.

    btw – I found your site the other day and was inspired to make my first minibook. My stacks and stacks of Christmas cards – half of them now nicely organized – thank you. 🙂
