a little surprise.

Last June, I was honored to stand beside one of my best friends, {eh}, as she became {eb}. 

{I posted a little more of her wedding lead-up back in February...check it out here!}

Amidst all the wedding craziness, I snapped a few photos with my Instax camera that 

I had actually purchased to use for the guestbook at our own wedding in April 2010.

As a fun little gift, I decided to assemble those Instax photos into a little makeshift album since 

there aren't any ready-made albums for photos that size. This may seem like a rudimentary craft, 

but let's be honest: when was the last time you spent much time thinking about photo corners? 

I had kind of forgotten about them--I'll admit. When trying to troubleshoot this lack of album

situation, I beelined for my local Michael's and created my own solution with those little 

sticky things that slipped my mind...

The ingredients for a simple and clean album

kraft paper photo corners from Michael's - $3.99

8" X 8" scrapbook from Michael's - $14.99

TOTAL = $18.98 (plus tax)

Even if you don't have an Instax, this little handmade album might just be the perfect gift. 

Photo corners give off a kind of retro vibe to me...and I just love them. As a tip, be sure to

load up all the photo corners first (as seen in step 2) before flipping it over to stick onto the

page. It worked a lot easier that way!

Do you have any easy, go-to crafts which aim to please?

I'm aching to get my hands on some fun DIY projects...so please pass on a few

of your favorites :) Hope your Wednesday goes by quickly! xoxo {av}
