Love Grows Mini

Hey Ya'll!

 I have a quick share today of a mini that I completed (finally) recently. The chipboard album was part of a kit that I purchased at Michael's, and was supposed to have a gardening theme. I decided not to use that as my theme, but used  all the papers and some of the chipboard embellishments. I added all the tags, flowers, ribbons, etc. I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather we are having as much as I am. I am so ready for fall!! Thanks for looking, and I'll see you soon!

Supplies- Recollections: "Vintage Romance Garden Kit" mini,CTMH: Journaling Spots

"Lucky"(retired), So Sophie: journal cards, MME: "Life Stories" journal cards, Paper Studio: Burlap ribbons and flowers, The picture frame was an old piece of packaging that held bakers twine.

I was working it "down to the wire"! Anyway I can finally show you a few of the pages. It is supposed to be a "book of first's". You know, first smile ,first bath, first haircut, etc..

Christmas Matchbook Mini Album

Hello! I know I promised I wouldn't take so long to post, so I thought I would show you what I've been doing. This mini album is one of the creations of Kathy at paperphenomenon.blogspot.com. It is made in the matchbook style, and stays closed with the belly band around it. The album, the pockets, the belly band , and the tags are all handmade! She really amazes me sometimes with the designs she comes up with. This one was very simple to make, and could be used for photos or a recipe album( which I thought about doing next). Go check out her website and check out the "ning" site too. You will be truly amazed! The deminsions of the pockets are 6x6. The whole album is about 6 1/4 x 8 1/2.
Recipe:
Cardstock- Recollections Kraft
Paper- Recollections, Warm Wishes
Snowflakes- Glittered wooden, found in the craft section at Michael's
Charm- Hobby Lobby, and stickpin- Joanns

Travel Tales Mini Album

Hello everyone! Sorry it has been so long since I posted, But this is the project I have been working on. This is a mini album encased in a suitcase, and everything is made from chipboard ,kraft paper, and patterned paper with the exception of the hardware.I got this idea from Kathy Yorta at Paper Phenomenom. She is amazing! I really can't believe what she comes up with sometimes! You can watch her videos on Youtube or go to her Ustream channel for her classes. Check her out by clicking on the button on the right hand side of my page. I hope these pics come out in the right order, as I am new to this and don't know all the ins and outs yet on posting. Anyway enjoy the pics and I welcome your comments or questions if you have them. The first two pics are of the suitcase, the second two are the mini album and the last two are the wallet that goes in the pocket on the front of the suitcase.
