Hi to all you lovelies out there, thanks for popping by...PLEASE, leave me a comment, I get puzzled over the amount of people that come here and just leave, I will always try my best to come see you and leave a comment....OK then....I have yet another mini album this week, Carla is going to a wedding on saturday, she loved the one I made for Katie HERE, but this had to be in her friends colours etc; and a tad smaller, I really wasn't sure about it, but it kinda worked out, she likes it and thats what matters......so here we go...
The front...
Flowers are wild orchid, chippys from Live and Love Crafts, ribbon stash and sparkly button from amazon..
First page,the front and back have this little pocket detail, the scalloped edge is a X-CUT punch, little tiny pearls online ribbons stash, chippy online
TH thinlets die, Signature ivy die, flower is a woodware punch, I used Vellum which I ran through the big shot using a freebie from Cardmaking and Papercrafts a while back, it was a Cameo stamp and an embossing folder, designed by TheresaTibbetts so pretty, I just used white versamark on it and it looks so pretty...
The pattern on the card is from a stamp set I've had ages, no name, sorry..
Similar again, using the TH dies
The chippy heart was from amazon
A few of the big tags, I used alot more vellum on this than one, I so enjoyed playing and stamping on it....lol....

Mini Album



Hi to all you lovely bloggers, I hope your all keeping well...it seems so very quiet on blogland lately, everyone must've jetted off somewhere exotic I hope....

OK, I have made this for my dil sister, she has a friend marrying at the end of the month I think and she liked the one I made for another family member...NOT CARLA for once..haha
I tried not to make to many pages as it can get to time consuming and this time I made the pockets lay on the side instead of the top, lots of scrapinic gorgeousness and some lush papers I have been looking at for an age and not using...mmmmm...I know, so daft isn't it, anyway, here you go, a bit picture heavy...
I covered heavy card in canvas first, then did some embossing with the clarity brick wall stencil, the flowers are all Wild Orchid, hearts from ebay and those metal corners I have had for such a long time and couldn't find where I bought them, I wiped some deco art, champagne paste over them, all the wood cuts are from Live and Love crafts...[.with the exception of the kissing couple and horse shoe, which came from ebay...]Lots of machine stitching too, hope you can see it...
Inside, some have TH dies used on them also..
Above are the pullout pages...
The back...
The spine..as you can see I went abit daft with the flowers, but hey!! why not...
That's it, I hope she will like it, alot of time went into it planning it out, but you can never tell can you...oh well, it can always go into the box with everything else.....I am going to see if anyone has a challenge I can fit it into....FOUND ONE...Scrap and craft challenge is back today, the theme is listed on the blog, please pop over as you get to chose 3 things to use, lovely challenge... thanks so much for your visit, please let me know you called and I'll come visit you......Have a great week-end...
