Making of a Mini Album - Part 5


I have been working on this page for a couple of days, and FINALLY finished it this morning! It was taking me so long because I was trying to get my cuts all laid out in Design Studio and decide on which papers to use and where. I only have an 8X8 stack of this paper, so I have to make sure I have enough for everything and use every piece of scrap I have. I even used a 2X2 inch piece of scrap on this page LOL!

So... here is my page. It is a single picture layout. That ornate glittery bracket at the top is the hidden journaling spot. Just pull up on it to reveal the journaling. The photo mat takes a 3 X 2 1/2 inch photo.

I used a lot of distress inks. I even did some new techniques... like distressing the edges with scissors & running ribbon thru the paper.

  1. Your book is just beautiful!!! I especially love the page with the criss cross cards on it. I know it's a lot of work, but well worth it. I can't wait to see the next!!!

  2. Yes it is well worth it! I am really loving makiing these mini albums, even though it is taking me almost a month to do. BUT... it is because I am doing a lot of "research" and learning from my "mistakes". At least I have not had to redo a page yet. *fingers crossed*

    Thanks for stopping by :0)
