I made a envelope mini album of my son's recent "greatest achievement". He ran 50K on 10.27.19. I am so very proud of him, it is going to be hard to save this until Xmas.

I love putting together these envelope mini's. I am not going into the details to create the base of the mini, but you can find a really quick tutorial HERE. I have a huge box of 5x7 envelopes~leftovers from a store...not sure how all cards get separated from the envelopes but it is to my benefit! I recently picked up a Creative Memories Bountiful 8x8 paper pack from a thrift store and completed this album with left overs! You can't beat the price of this project.

I cut the title with my Cricut Maker from the same paper collection. I fussy cut one of the pieces with the leaves, inked them and adhered them on top of the original print for extra pop! The large orange brad is part of the closure.

And now for the inside...this set of pages has a half page pocket on the right, I punched a couple of tags, added twine and placed them in the pocket. I had a photo of the marathon route. It has some very strenuous elevation changes...lined with stone steps hence the name.

Page two/three has a pocket but more on that in a minute. I created a half page fold on page four. I am holding it shut with a brad and photo frame lock.

The last couple of pages have a couple of stickers and layered die cut papers. I added washi tape for interest. I also added washi tape on the spine for strength and it is method by which I added my half page to page 3.

Finally, the back of the album. I secured the twine to hold the album closed with a brad on the back.

Now my inserts, on one of the pages (envelopes) I cut a tiny sliver off the closed end creating a full size pocket behind the half page pocket. I added pull tabs made with scraps. I adhered a pic to each page and left the back for my son to journal about his experience.

When sorting the pics I took, my son chose the one below. My guess it is reminds him of the discomfort that resulted from almost 6 and half hours of running!!! His official time was 6:23:4. His first ultra marathon!

I am sure he can find things to write about his experience. It was a phenomenal accomplishment especially considering he has never even ran a full marathon. He didn't win by 2 full hours but not many would even attempt this feat much less not train.
