summer minibook update #3.

Check plus. Moving right along. Just one page to share this weekend but more to come soon!

scalloped circle card from elise blaha on Vimeo.

I filmed a video to share how I used the scalloped circle card in my own album and to offer a troubleshooting suggestion in case you mess yours up on the first try. I'm not sure if paper can be intimidating, but if it can, this card is.

Here's the card in my book with text on the front and a photo on the back. I talk more about it in the video, but if you want an image that goes just to the border of the scallop, you will want to cut a circle with a diameter of 4 5/8 inches.

    Elise, I just purchased this from your esty shop and forgot to add a note. I just wanted to say thank you! I’ve first heard about your blog from Allison Walken and I’ve been a follower ever since. I love this album idea and hope to fill it with all my summer memories.

    I love your creative thinking! Flip the paper over, sew it, etc to hide mistakes/work with them. I love how you’re adding the photos of your food too. Oh, to have a fraction of your creative thought process… 😉

    Lovely ideas Elise. I just want one summer mini book but I need international card, I think a friend has one so I will ask him to buy it, hopefully! Actually here in Chile it’s autumn, but I want to save it for summer because we are going to Brazil yaahuuuu 😀 Take care and these posts of the book are great.
