It sounds like you have Family Sharing set up on your iPad. This automatically creates a shared album that can only be used by your family members. Take a look at this information and let us know if this is the shared album you are referring to.
Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing
https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/Family Sharing is a new way to bring harmony to your family’s digital life. Up to six people in your family can share purchases from iTunes, iBooks, and the App Store without sharing accounts. Pay for family purchases with the same credit card and approve kids’ spending right from a parent’s device. Easily share photos, a family calendar, and more to help keep everyone connected.
The whole family can contribute to the family photo album.
Family Sharing makes collecting and sharing family memories easier and more fun. It automatically sets up a shared family album where you can contribute photos, videos, and comments. And everything stays up to date on everyone’s devices. So you’re all a tap away from the latest vacation shots, birthday highlights, and family pranks.

When you look at your iCloud settings on the iPad, are you using the same Apple ID as the iCloud account on your iPhone?
Are you able to create a new shared album from your iPad?
iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202786What do I need to use iCloud Photo Sharing?
To use iCloud Photo Sharing, you need an iCloud account (Apple ID), compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
- iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 7 or later
- Mac using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later and either iPhoto 9.5 or Aperture 3.5
- Apple TV with Apple TV software 6.0 or later
- PC using Windows 7 or later and iCloud for Windows 4.0 (or iCloud Control Panel 3.1 or later)
If you enabled the Public Website option when you set up your shared album, your friends and family can view your photos and videos from any current web browser using a link that you provide.
How do I turn on iCloud Photo Sharing?
After you update your devices and set up your iCloud account, it’s easy to turn on iCloud Photo Sharing on any of your devices:
- iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and turn on iCloud Photo Sharing.
- Mac:
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
- Click iCloud, then select Photos.
- Turn on Photo Sharing in one of these applications:
- iPhoto: Choose iPhoto > Preferences. Click iCloud, then select Photo Sharing.
- Aperture: Choose Aperture > Preferences. Click iCloud, then select Photo Sharing.
- Apple TV: Go to Settings > iCloud > iCloud Photos Settings and turn on Photo Sharing.

How do I create a shared album?
Creating a shared album is as easy as selecting the photos and videos you'd like to share from a compatible device, then selecting the people with whom you'd like to share. Invitations to your shared album can be sent to a person’s email address or a phone number used for iMessage. Learn more about creating a shared album.
Can I share with people who don't use iCloud?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings for your shared album, your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser. Learn more about inviting people to view your shared album.
If the issue still exists on your iPad after confirming these settings and trying to create a new shared album, you may need to speak with one of our telephone technical advisors. Click on the link below to initiate that conversation:
