Mini Album "Wedding Gift Card"

Mini Album for a Wedding

I recently attended a beautiful destination wedding for friends of ours in Punta Cana Dominican.  Their reception is this weekend so I decided to put together a mini album and combine it as a gift card.  I used all of the colours from their wedding as well as the beautiful colours that inspired me while I was there!  The beautiful greens in the garden, the blues from the ocean, the different tones in pinks from the flowers and flamingos ...  

I was also fortunate enough to be able to make the wedding favours for the reception!  Stay tuned for the pictures!!






Inside the flap of the card is where I made a gift card holder for the money!
