Mother's Day Book by Ronna Farrer  http://rhonnadesigns.com/new/layouts.html

This is a 6x12 album.... I got the picture from her blog which linked to Two Peas where the instructions are....She says its fast & fun...
Basically using blank manila folders & printed transparencies cut in half, you can creat a unique mini book. 
Easy 10 Step Process
1.Take blank manila file folders & cut lengthwise to 6".  Be careful to keep your tabs on edges...this adds to the cool edged book.
2.Cut pre-printed transparencies in half..paying special attention to each transparency & how it will interact with your book.
3.Add photos.  Again, pay close attention to the layering & interaction with the transparencies.
4.Add rub ons.
5.Add stickers.  Have fun with printing out custom stickers with digital kits and inkjet sticker papers.
6.Add journaling.  this is the fun, heartfelt part of the book...enjoy the process
7.Punch holes in each page.
8.Add flowers & any other embellishments to add depth & texture....Here I had fun with HS bling.
9.Add ribbons on pages, intags, etc.
10.Add rings to bind book.  (you can add ribbons to this as well.)
This is an east project for children & parents to do for grandparents, aunts & friends....
I found this at www.clearscraps.com in their gallery.  Made by Janet B.  Its a 8x8 tab album and she used staz one ink . There rest of the album is at the link below. The front cover is beautiful as is the rest of the album.  The second page has the little girl's picture on it.   They have a idea gallery too.

Stacey, at ALL MOMENTS REMEMBERED (banner in my side bar) has them for sell at her store..  She also has 3" acrylic letters for sale at .80 cents a piece.  These would be super cute to hang from the album by a chain or to ink and add to the album in the title or as dimensional wordart.  Or maybe slightly stack them by the edges and glue them with the Zip Dry glue that Clear Scraps suggests... Maybe they could be glued together with the sides of the letters touching.

.............As soon as a picture is posted of the acrylic letter, I'll post it on my blog......
