Here is how I created my mini. Using the Heart Album die, I cut out 4 from box board and 8 from cardstock, I painted the edge of the box board with white paint. When dry, I adhered the cardstock to the boxboard.
I selected some pattern papers, these are from the Pretty Little Studios You & Me collection that are available in the Clique Kits store.
I die cut the hearts for my album.

I used my Xyron Creative Station to adhere all of these diecuts to the mini albums pages.
To bind the pages together I created a spine with cardstock scored at every 1/4". I glued one side of each album page to the spine.
I then covered the spine with my Love My Tapes washi tape on the outside and the inside pages.
Then I could add my photos and embellishments. Let me show you the rest of my pages ...
On these inside pages I used the same washi tape as the binding but here I cut the tape in half lengthwise. This created a better proportion for my mini.
