Size of the mini is 4x4 inches. All papers used for this mini are from the Gecko Galz Grandma's House digital paper pack, printed out and folded in a technique that uses no glue or scissors (technique learned at my Prairie Stampers Club). All images are Gecko Galz. The spine is a tag printed on linen paper and then glued on top of the mini for a finished look (optional).
Both inside covers feature ATCs. Various images from the Alter Me set are used for shopping lists and "to do" lists. A library pocket was made to hold the library cards (shopping lists).
Tickets are adhered on 3 sides with red line tape to form a pocket for receipts. (Note the Gecko Galz on-line order receipt tucked inside the pocket!) A word search is included for that long wait in line during gift buying.
