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.
