Graphic 45 Midnight Masquerade Meets Heartfelt Creations Flip Fold Album

Hi everyone! 

Today, Im sharing with you a project that I worked on this weekend with the new Graphic 45 Midnight Masquerade! I seen it released on scrapbook.com and knew I had to have it immediately! I seen it at CHA and the colors really are this bright and beautiful. I ordered the paper pack on Thursday and picked it up in person on Friday afternoon because I knew I wanted to play with it. 

So, here is my mini album...actually it is pretty big compared to other minis...it is 7 x9 inches and 2.5 inches wide. I used a Flip Fold Album with A, B and C inserts in kraft. It sure makes it faster to decorate with all the pre made pieces. 

I had most of these flowers and today I had to buy more just because I used so much stash but also because I wanted to decorate a few more pages inside. Since some of the flowers had pearls I decided to add some pearl swirls. 

Some fussy cutting here. 

Love the Graphic 45 door hinge in shabby chic

A side view...just LOVE the colors!!!

Close up of the spine....with a chain of keys

There are 3 keys total 

The ribbon is to close the album but you don't have to do it because the album is very thick 

First page ....using lots of tags and inserts 

Second page...this inside will actually flip open...lots of room for photos.Pocket insert that also flips open...tags throughout

I fussy cut out the lady and placed a tag and envelope behind her....lots of magnets used too.

Another page with tags....as you can see a few pages not completely finished....maybe I will leave them plain for photos?

Back page with a tag and a place for keepsake... If you look closely on all the pages there is even papers on the spine pages. 

Back cover...

Thanks so much for stopping by today! 

Hope you are inspired to get this new Graphic 45 collection!

I usually have leftover pieces of paper from a collection....but not for this mini! 

Have a great day!

Graphic 45 Enchanted Forest Mini Box With Tags

Hi Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a nice weekend! 

I was in my scrap room making this adorable mini box using my Graphic 45 papers! 

Did I mention that I hoard them? 

Well I do, but they don't do much in the paper pad....so out they came Sunday Morning

The box is also from Graphic 45 and this is the mini with mini tags inside...

This paper line is fun fun and bright! 

It is from the Enchanted Forest Collection.

I used several flowers that I have had in my stash. T

he ribbon is gold and I thought it went well with the gold papers. 

Lots of views....

The inside...

I made sure the flowers were in the center so I could close the box.

With the cute tags...Front....

And the back....

The bottom of the box...

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my latest project! 

Have a great day!

Now that I have finished this last one I may move back to cards and layout that I love so much too! 

So here i the front of the album it is a 7 x 7 inch by 5 inches thick in blues and white.

Lots of flowers, lace and pearls with cut little tags and mini albums inside. Most of the flowers are from Recollections with some petaloo and prima flowers too.

Vintage Mini Album *You Tube*

Hi everyone... tonight Im sharing with you my new Vintage Mini Album that I recently finished this weekend. I have lots of tiny mini's inside that was inspired by several mini albums out there. Thank you soooo much!! So many creative minds.... :) I wanted to make a new vintage mini album using lots of browns, golds and creams. I used many of my leftover flowers and the paper I bought at Walmart for $5.00...It is from Colorbok. This is a 6 x 6 paper bag mini album. I just use regular paper bags because I have so many in the house from when my children were younger....long time ago! lol

So here is the front cover using lots of flowers and a Tim Holtz metal piece. 

Here is a side view using burlap on the spine....under it is cardstock reinforced a few times. 

A few sneak peeks....the front inside page....

A few pages later....

Here is a new You Tube video too! 

Thanks for watching!

Have a great week!

Vintage Halloween Mini Album *First You Tube Video*

Hello everyone! I know it has been a while since I last posted. Sorry about that....I made this Vintage Halloween Mini Album last weekend and I really wanted to make my very first video tutorial to go with it...let me tell you it sure was a learning experience. I bought a tripod and then trying to talk somewhat like a normal person was tricky for me too. I need to work on my lighting more but for my first video, it was not as bad as a thought? So here is a photo of the cover of my mini....lots of black orange and creams. 

Here is a couple of sneak peaks.... 

Lots of fun tags and embellishments....

So here it goes the premiere of my first You Tube Video....hope you enjoy! 

Thanks for watching!

Vintage Mini Album

This was my FIRST attempt at making a mini album. It originally was supposed to be for sb.com National Scrapbooking Week Long Challenge. However, I didn’t get it done on time, because there were so many details that I wanted to put into this album about me. I have tell you it is NOT my idea…I was totally inspired and scraplifted many components of the album from TracyTreasures24 …….I did tell her about it quite some time ago….and she wanted to see it, when it was done. I wish I could do an excellent video like she did….maybe on the next one…coming soon!

Here is the album’s front cover, side profile, and thickness..It's a 6 x 6 album

Here is the first page: It’s me as a baby! With my name and birth date, there is also journaling in the small book

Here is the next page: It’s me, my mother and father and grandmother…miss her so much! They are original photos from 1969....The opposite page is a waterfall card….it has photos and journaling too!

The next page is my father and I…we were so close when I was a little girl. He was a key, strength in my life….miss him too!
The next page I made an envelope using my cricut…I added velcro for the closure and I card with all my children’s photos in it too. I made another mini book that has journaling and photo of my dh and I inside
Here is it open for a sneak peek

The last page, I haven’t put any photos in it yet….also need to add ribbon to the tags..Otherwise it’s done!

Here is the view of the back

Hope you were inspired like I was…. J
