Start of a new mini album

Tonight I started working on a Christmas Mini Album. I don't know what I will do with it when it is finished but it is fun to make. I never seem to remember my camera to take pictures at Christmas. I hope I do this year or I will have to give this away. I have started on the cover and the inside page. Nothing is glued down yet, I think that I will look at it a few days before I commit to it.




It was fun making the tree. I used a new sizzix die to cut the tree out of chipboard, then I stamped it in Versamark. I embossed it with UTEE (ultra thick embossing enamel) and finally added green glitter, reheating the embossing powder so that the glitter gets embedding into it. I did the same for the numbers that I cut out using my Pooh Font cricut cartridge. I used red glitter for the numbers. I will definitely use this technique again although it is a little messy and you get glitter all over.

First Blush Kit finished

I finished the kit that I purchased from Marie at the Pretty Paper Boutique. I called my mini Carte Blanche. It was so much fun to do. In the process of working on this album I have realized that I need more space. It seems that I am constantly cleaning up. I don't have a very big space to work in. Anyway, this mini was donated to the library to use on a draw table. It was hard to see it go but I guess that I can always make another.

Here is the video on Youtube.

Busy, busy, busy

Well November certainly has been a busy month and December looks like it will be the same. I am finally getting around to posting a few of my projects. Today's project is a baby mini album that I made for a friend. It is the first mini album that I have finished and was a lot of fun to make. I think that it is more challenging to make an album for a boy than a girl. You have to be careful not to make it too girlyl; limited flowers and other feminine embellishments.

I have put photo albums up on Picasa and if you click on the photo it should take you there. I have also put a video on Youtube of the pages. I will keep my fingers crossed and hope that it works.

New Arrival
