My First Mini Album

Hi everyone!  Recently, I watched a Live with Prima class where Frank Garcia and Jodie Lee Patterson shared making a mini album from a 12x12 sheet of paper.  It looked easy enough, so I decided to give it a try.  This is my first attempt at a mini album, so I see the flaws.  Looking back, I know I could have done a bit better with it.  Anyhoo, here it is.

I wasn't sure how to photograph it as it was difficult to get it to lie flat.  Everything I used is from Tim Holtz.  Washi tape was placed over the spine with some twine and a charm tied around for decoration.  I also used Industrious Stickers and Thrift Shop Ephemera to decorate the front and back covers.  A bit of Stickles was added to the butterfly.

Inside, quite a bit of stamping was done.  I cut journaling cards from the Crowded Attic papers and inked the edges.  I stamped images onto each one and a quotation onto the backs.  Unfortunately, I didn't photograph those.  I used various remnant rubs, clips, stickers and ephemera to decorate the insides.  I was sending this to a friend and didn't want it too bulky for mailing.

Well, there you have it.  I hope to try making another mini with more embellishing.  It's difficult to stay away from flowers and bling!

Have a wonderful week!  Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and for all your sweet comments.
