"Autumn Memories" Mini Album

A few weeks ago I ordered a kit from Bella Scrapbooking (you can link to them in my side bar)for $5 and I finally put it together. I assembled mine a little differently than hers but I think it turned out SO cute. I really love it. I had taken a lot of pics of picking out pumpkins at a grocery store and this was a cute way to display them together.

The album measures 4"x6" and holds 6 photos and 2 large journaling pages. The binding is new for me, though. Hopefully you can tell from some of the pictures but there is a piece of cardstock folded "accordian style" then the pages are adhered in between. The ribbon crossing over the top (and secured with eyelets) are the actual binding of the book. I really liked using this technique, even if it was a bit tricky to get it all lined up. Well, with no further ado, here it is:

Doesn't it just make you crave apple cider and a cozy blanket? The fall is my favorite time of year...
