Mini "Album" Photo Folders

This is one of my favorite crafts; I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. The design is inspired by a card file make-and-take I did at a local craft store. I adapted the size to fit photos instead of cards, and I find it makes an amazing little “album.” It’s perfect for those sets of pictures …
