More project pictures

Hi All

Here are some more photos of things that I have been creating recently.

These are Spring Mini Albums that I made for a swap on My Scraproom.  I had Sonya as a partner but then one swapper vanished so I offered to be an angel and got LaDonna as a partner as well.  Here are pictures of the albums that I made - Sonya's is first.......


I tried to make a nest for the chicks and it just turned out to be a box but I really got creative with the front cover. Here is a look at the inside pages.


This is the back of the front page.  I tried to get as many pockets and tags in as I could as the mini is small.  It had to be less than 5 inches squared for the pages.  the cover was 5x5 and the inside pages are 4x4.

This is the mini I made for LaDonna...........


These are the front and back covers.  I got the bird cages from my friend Kellie in America.  I inked them and stickled them and then covered the backs so they can be used for tags and then I stuck bits all over them.  I made the pockets from acetate and used some stud eyelets to secure the acetate pockets to the pages.

Here is a peek at the inside pages..............


This is sideways but it's one of the pages with a photo mat and a place for a title.  I really hope that girls like their minis.

I joined a swap on Your Paper Pantry and it was a Contained Mini.  I had to make a mini and contain it in some sort of box or cage or purse etc.  I had Tmika for my partner and she lives in America.  she loves shabby chic stuff so I looked at her youtube channel and got an idea of what she wanted.  She didn't like the idea of a paper bag album and wanted chipboard.  Here are some pictures of what I came up with................


Tmika wanted a book to put inspiration in so I titled it Inspiration.  there's flowers and lace and bling on the cover and it continues throughout the book.  Everything is interactive and there's tags galore along with lace and buttons and bling and flowers and charms and dangles and trim.  It's a shabby chic explosion.  Here are some more pages......



It got really big and you can tell from the view of the bottom of the mini.  I had to make some sort of container but it got so big I had to cover an entire shoe box with paper and lace and pretty stuff.  Here is the lid..............


The box was 7 inches by 11 inches and the depth was 5inches.  I had to send it in the biggest packing box I could find and it cost me £22 to send it airmail.  It was so heavy too.  I had a lot of fun making the mini as Shabby Chic isn't really my thing and chipboard albums can be tricky but I think I did pretty well.

Today is Sunday and I was fiddling around with a large clip that I have had for ages.  I saw a video on youtube once and for the life of me I can't find it again but it had an altered clip on it and I just jumped in and made it prettyfull...................


I thought it looked pretty good.  I have made some more things but I will have to stop typing now as dinner is ready.

Love to All
