A Mini Album!!

First of all, MarLeah, if you're reading this, STOP! Ok. Now I'll go on. :)

Over at Frosted Designs, the Fabulous Friday challenge was to use something new on your project. I took that to mean a new way to make a mini album! On her blog, Amanda showed this awesome technique to make your own binding for your mini album back in November or December and I have really been wanting to try it out! I made my December Daily album with that technique, but I used paper for the binding and it was a little too stiff to flip through the album easily. SO, this time I used fabric. It worked great! We'll see how it holds up. I used my ATG to glue it all together along with some glue dots.

I bought a Crate Paper Restoration collection pack from Hobby Lobby with a mini album in mind, and so that's what I used on this album. You want to know what my LEAST favorite page is of this album?? The cover!! It didn't turn out like I wanted it to... :( My mom said "Well, redo it!" Umm.... I'm not going to take the time! LOL

The only products I used that wasn't Crate Paper was the American Crafts Thickers, some Authentique ({looooveeeee}) and Glitz Design mini letter stickers, journaling tag for the back of the album, and the baker's twine.

A note to MarLeah-- if you looked at this, then it'll be your fault you're not surprised when you get it in the mail... LOL :P

Pretty Little Studio Card (Sketch #19)

I have a card to share with you that I made from this week's Pretty Little Studio sketch(#19)! I kinda interpreted it a little differently, but I tried to stay with the sketch. 

For the background bracket, I used a heart cut-out. Then for the smaller bracket, I used the oval sticker, then I rotated the 3 pictures and made them into paper strips. The flower clusters coordinate with the scallops I used on my card.

There. Hope that makes sense. :)
