So, when I saw this challenge for Scrap-It-Lah, though I have plenty of products packaging in my stash (I have this habit of keeping them...especially if they are pretty), I put-off the idea, for fear that I may not have the "strength" to complete it......until I saw this yesterday..I get inspired right away and thought of making an album for my little nephew, Stanley, who lives in the US.
And so, I made this little mini album today....it features everyone in our family, with their birthday (just in case his mother forgets..hehehe), and Chinese words of who we are.....my parents will hand carry this to their little grandson when they visit in July....
Here's the mini album....(apologize for the bad photos....evening is not a good time to take photos in my house...every where seems so glare)
A very simple album cover....
The page on the left is decorated by Ms Grace...the embellishment on the bottom right...I fuzzy cut from Basic Grey product packaging...
The mini calendar is a gift from Smidapaper (Penang's only LSS)...
Again, I fuzzy cut the design on the Basic Grey packaging
The "cards" on the right...I cut out from the tiny pieces of promo papers (not sure what they are called) that come with my Studio Calico kit (yes...I keep them too)
That girl figure on the left is from Grace's toys packaging and the care it is on is some key chain packaging...hehehe...seems that I'm keeping everything

Thankyou for your kind words :-) Glad you were insprired heheee
Your album is lovely ... and I too keep the little advertising bits from the studio calico kits heheee - love how you used them in your album, great idea.
I am sure your little nephew will love that album.
I keep most of my mini albums in a basket on the coffee table. They do get a little bit damaged, but that's part of it. I do enjoy watching the kids pick them up and sit down and look at them though. (I just have to watch Samuel as he's a bit rough!!) :-)
