Steampunk Mini

Here is the most recent mini album I made. Had a shelf at work that I needed to put something on. I thought why not photos of the family. I used a lot of Tim Holtz product in this album. Lots of metal and had a blast. The whole album itself is grungeboard. I painted each page then cut the papers. Left it pretty unison on each page and didn't make pockets or pull outs. Thought it needed to be simple since it was going to be at work. Sorry not the greatest picture. My phone takes horrible photos and I forgot to take a pic before I took it to work.

 

Be-Lated Valentine's Mini Album

So I'm a little late on getting this up but I have been some what scrappy lately. I made this mini album for my guy for Valentine's Day. This is a canvas and chipboard album I found at Michael's. I tried to make it look like a manly version of Valentines. This is my first time working with canvas in an album. It was fun, but I was a little unsure of how to glue things to it. Glue gun worked great. The hardest part was taking the photos. I love how it turned out and so did James. So glad I found him.OK having Blogger problems. Hope this thing posts.

Nature Mini Album Swap

Here is the video of the Mini album I made for the swap I did with my friend Misty. It was a lot of fun trading. I just might get into doing more swaps.

What I've Been Working On

My friend Misty made a mini that had all these pockets in it. It was made from business envelopes. Her mini inspired me to make one. She originally got the idea from Laura at Following the paper trail. Laura's video shows you how to make the album just in case your intrested in making your own. I used chipboard for the front and back cover and UTEEed it. Man I love UTEE. The paper line I used is called Fashion district by Me and My Big Ideas. I put photo mats into all the pockets and added a file tab to pull them out. There is plenty of room for photos in this mini. I didn't have a theme in mind when I started. Which has been causing me some problems on finishing it. I have a hard time embellishing without know what photos will go in it. I did a few things but have left most of it for a future date when I know what is going in it or if I decide to give it away. I'm going to set it aside for now and work on a mini that is for a swap I'm doing. I might make a video of this one when it is completed. For now though I am off to play.

SpellBook

This is my latest project. Had loads of fun with all the Halloween products. I think I'm ready to move on to some layouts though. I need to get caught up on some of the photos that I have been taking. I say that and then I will end up getting an idea for a mini and want to do that more.lol 

Camping Mini

I thought I would add some of the more recent projects I have done to the new blog. It looked so bare. lol So forgive me if you have already seen these videos.
