Now onto my Mini Book, If you know me at all you know that is where my LOVE is...in MINI ALBUMS. Every summer I make a mini and try to add a photo a day of what we did. I decided on using the Maggie Holmes chipboad album. I also pulled what papers I wanted to use {summer themed} and trimmed them to size. I took out the original album inserts and added my own. I will save those for something cute though.
The Album..
Grabbed all my papers and stickers..
Cut them to size.. LOVE the transparency
Cut out all my tissue circles and flowers for the layered flower for the cover.
Create my tissue flower by layering them all together and stapling then squishing up each layer.. I also love making these for box toppers..
Created my title by heat embossing the word onto cardstock with gold and adding some linen and misc coupons and a flair button to the center of the flower and adhered it to the cover.
I also heat embossed the edges of the mini with gold powder.. LOVE..Just to add a little extra..
Each day this week I will share you the album and our 1st few weeks of summer! You just might see a mini album summer "kit" in our shop.
Speaking of summer.. I am so excited to announce that I am now part of the Hazel and Ruby Makery Creative Team. I just LOVE that company and I look forward to working and creating with all there products. Today I did a fun and simple summer banner tutorial. Be sure to check it out..
Always Create!
