Julie & Adam's Wedding Mini Album

 Our friends Julie and Adam got married last fall and this is the 9x9 My Creations Memory Showcase Album which I made for them. They had a beautiful fall theme with gorgeous sunflowers. The fabric flowers on the album came from Michaels but I found a retired stamp set which was just perfect for this project. I added Dimensional Element Hearts - stamped in Sunflower and Indian Corn Blue ink and added silver Glitter Glitx Gel Glue (squidgy stuff for those of you who know me)
 I used the blueprints from 12x12 scrapbook pages and scaled them down to fit the 9x9 pages of this album
 Here I tore and rolled and ink distressed the edge of the stamped piece then tore the Outdoor Denim cardstock and used the paper piercer and the ruler to make evenly spaced holes which I then threaded sunflower waxy flax.
 Here I used hemp and one of the travel themed jounalling spots under the cut out sunflower.
 More hemp and another journalling spot.
 I made a fun pocket with a pull out photo mat - there was room to add more photos to the pocket if they wish to. Brads finished off the rows of 3 flowers on both sides of the pocket.
 I dry embossed the 'envelope flap' and then put goldrush brads in the centers of all of the little flowers.
This is the back cover of the album.  I was so happy with the finished result and I know they were too :O)
I hope they both ' Live happily Ever After'  xxxx

Footloose File Folio Mini Album

Hello there peeps :O)

Yes I know - I fell off the planet again and have been MIA for the last 5 weeks - I do have an excuse (don't I always LOL). After taking 5 weeks off work for my hopefully final surgery I hit the ground running trying to catch up with everything PLUS I had cruise gifts to make.

Yes - it was time to go to Hawaii for my 6th incentive trip with Close TO My Heart - and super excited I was too !!!

You KNOW I couldn't turn up empty handed for my friends, so here is the cute mini album I made using a
  True Fit folio as the base and the stinkin' adorable Footloose WOTG, coordinating stamp sets and the super cute exclusive set I - as a cruise earner - was given.
 I also added the Paradise bakers twine, wooden seashell shapes and a wooden badge button stamped with the super cute sand dollar, and used Sweet Leaf Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon for the closure.
 Here are the first 2 pockets ready for photos to be slipped down into them.
And here are the last 2 pockets - and you know that all 4 pockets are based on card ideas from
our amazing How-To books for cards Originals and Wishes.

Hope you love it as much as I do :O)
