SEW Lovely Mini Album

I am sew excited to share this lovely mini album with you.
It has been created for an upcoming class at a local crop.
The die shape is from Accucut craft - Sewing Machine and is so fun to work with.

There are five pages with a flip up on the cover.

I hope you enjoy this project as uch as I enjoyed making it.

When I saw the Sew Lovely paper from Carte Bella, I just kne wit was perfect for this album.

I made the cover have this flip up because it just seemed to work with the layout. Reminds me too how you have to open parts on your machine to oil or thread.

The remaining pages are filled with pockets and tags and fun embellishments.

I was also able to use another Accucut die-Sew Cute

I haven't posted all the pages but you can check out the video to see the whole album below.


Thanks for checking it out.

Mini Suitcase Mini

This is so adorable, it fits in the palm of your hand. There is just something so fun about mini mini albums.

The tiny suitcase opens up to reveal a tiny mini. I also love mini albums that are relatively quick to make.

Inside there are pages with pockets and simple yet fun embellishments. You can see the video for this project below.

Thanks,

December Daily

I decided to make this album to record our Christmas this year. I have wnated to make a December Daily for a couple of years now but just never took the time. I hope you enjoy it. I have since added my photos and journalling and will try to get a video of the finished album up as well.

Thanks,

Say Cheese!

After seeing the amazing camera album made by Anna, I knew I had to make one. Mine is not as detailed as hers but I still love how it turned out.
The album base is made from an Accucut die and you can buy them from me here under die cuts.

I had lots of die shapes that I could use for this album - several filmstrip pieces, one from Sizzix, one from Tim Holtz and one from My Favorite Things.

The front of each page is embellished so that the opening can still be seen. On this page the filmstrip acts as a pocket.

The back of each page has a flap that opens, like an old fashioned camera, where there is a photo matt for a picture.

The back of the flap is also embellished so they will still open. This one has a doily die cut as a pocket that holds a folder insert.

And I love I Am Roses flowers so I used them throughout this project.

I was able to stamp several of this BINGO cards when I was at a friends house scrapbooking. It is so adorable. I may need to search for this one and buy it. I added dangling tags and charms to each of the pages.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this project. I will try to get a video done, but may not be until the new year as I am working a lot and have to still get ready for Christmas.

Thanks,

CHEER Word Book

I was asked to make this CHEER word book as a custom order, the lady was planning on donating it to a auction to raise money for Cheerleading. I hope it went well.

The colors were black, white and baby blue. I really enjoyed this color combination.

This is a fun little album to cherish your cherrleading memories.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed seeing this fun little project.

Thanks,

Santa'sStocking Mini

Here I have made a mini using Stampin Up's new Holiday Stocking die and new Peekaboo Frames die. I used Letters to Santa designer paper also from Stampin Up.

I used the peekaboo frames to create embellishments for the pages and adhered them so that they also act as pockets to be able to tuck photos in behind.

I used flowers fro Prima and I Am Roses to embellish as well. The ribbons are from Stampin Up.

This is my next class. Hope you enjoyed seeing the peek at this project.

thanks,

Here it Is!

I am so loving my new die, I just need more time to play with it. So let me know what you think, I would love to hear from you,

Thanks,

Paisley Petals Policy Envie Mini- Class Version

Here is the class version of the long policy envelope mini. This class will be held in September.

The layout is almost exactly the same as the previous mini, but I used Stampin Up's Paisley Petals Designer paper.

I love this paper, bright, bold designs in Paisley prints.

This is one of my favorite pages. Hope to see you in class in the fall!

Thanks,

Inside of Policy Envie Mini

OKay, I finally finished the inside of this policy envie mini. I am pleased with how it turned out.

I used some die cuts to embellish the pages, here I used Hardware Findings by TH and a sizzix clock. The clock face is a fussy cut from some TH designer paper.

Oh I just love this Th die. . . the only prob was finding a way to add the clock hands. Hmmmm

...ended up using a die cut acetate circle, worked great! There is a tag that pulls out from behind the clock face .

I love this page too....love the layered locket used here on the tag.It also acts as a small pocket for a small shipping tag. The faux belly band is actually faux snake skin. I learned the badn technique from Paper Phenomenon, but the texture added to it was my idea....

another fun page. I die cut a sizzix heart. This is a die I altered. Yes! I altered the die. I removed some of the center swilrs that were part of the die cut shape. I did not like them. I them texture embossed the heart and added it to a folded shipping tag, so that there is a hidden pocket behind the heart. It is held in place by the dangling key from some more faux skin strapping.

This page was inspired by a page I seen in a mini a friend made. I wasn't sure I would like this huge chandelier die cut, but it is pretty awesome.

Here I die cut a flourish and then embossed with a texture folder. I then used it to create a pocket. Some mini tickets are clipped to the tag using a tiny clip from Stampin Up.

I used TH mini rossettes die to create the flowers for the next two pages. They are super fun to make and go together quite quickly.

This last page uses some film strip from TH to create a band to hold in the tag. Accented by a couple of skeleton leaves.

Here are the tags from inside the envies. I used various black die cuts to accent them.

and this is the back. I simply stamped various journal spots on the back of each.

You an view the video below.

Thanks,

Vicki's Class Mini

Hi Ladies,
Here are pics of the beautiful mini class I took hosted by Vicki. It has a canvas cover and chipboard pages.
There are lots of die cuts and hidden pockets.

This is the first page. I adhered all the matt die cuts so a tag can be inserted behind each to add a jounal spot.

I love her paper choice. It is called Cottage Wall. It is no longer available, but I think I still have a couple of packs that I stocked up on of this paper.

I just love the layouts on each page. Simple yet lightly embellished. Sometimes I go overboard, which is easy to do with so many options for embellishments.

This next set of pages has a fun pull out photo matt/ journal spot.

This opens up to reveal more space to add photos.

I am a huge locket and key fan, so this is probably my favorite page in the mini.

The last double page layout. I love the small banner she has used in the mini. I thought it was a nestie, but after searching, I am not so sure. I will have to ask her.

and the last page. I love the mini birdcage and bird accent. I have this die but have not used it yet.

You can see the video for this mini below.

Thanks,
