*Hairpin* Mini Album

Hello everyone!

Today I have another mini album to show you.  I have named this my *hairpin* album.  That's because the pages are held in with hairpins.  

I used Graphic45 *Typography* papers.  I just had an 8x8 pad, so I needed to use some of my Recollections *Memories Documented* as well.

The album measures approximately 4.5 x 6.25 inches.  There are 4 separate sections, each held in place with 2 hairpins. With belly bands, pockets, flip outs & photo mats, there's lots of room for pictures.

This is not my idea, it is another of Anne Rostad's awesome creations.  There's a video tutorial here, if you would like to make one.

There's a lot of pictures to see, so get comfy and I would love to know what you think if you care to leave a comment.

I made the rose from ivory card stock.  Annes album is fastened with a ribbon, but I chose to make a different magnetic closure for mine.

Here you can see the hairpins.

All the narrow flaps in the album are held in place with magnets.

Here is one section opened up fully, the two centre pieces are flip ups.

Here you can see the hairpins, I managed to find longer ones at Walmart, and they are just perfect.

Hope you have enjoyed looking at my latest creation.
