This idea works for all kinds of photos, whether they are everyday, or elegant, or anything in between. Whether your "princess" is young or merely young-at-heart, this crown-shaped album is sure to delight you.

"Car Games", a Car Shaped Clear Mini Album by Cathy Schellenberg

If you're tired of trying to drive with cranky, bored kids along for the ride, here is a good solution for you; try making a Car Games acrylic mini album just like this one! It's compact enough to take along with you on road trips, and you could even leave it in the car so that you'll always have it handy when you need it. When your kids get bored, they can pull it out and choose a game to play. We hope they'll have fun playing the games, and that you have fun making the album for them!
