Cupcake Chipboard Mini Album

Hi there!  Today I'm sharing my first chipboard mini album!  My 14-year-old daughter, Brooke, got a Babycakes Cupcake Maker for Christmas and she's been making cupcakes ever since.  She loves to make cupcakes, decorate cupcakes, and eat cupcakes (me too!) so we decided to make a chipboard scrapbook album to put pictures of her with her Cupcake Maker!  This is also the first time we've ever used the Cinch.  It was really easy to bind the chipboard together with it.  We had so much fun making this book!  I will be entering this into Challenge #40 at My Craft Spot which is to put a delicious treat on your project and Challenge #142 at Cupcake Inspirations which is an inspiration photo challenge. Thanks for looking and have a great day!  :)
