Travel Mini-Album

Hi everyone! I have been burning the midnight oil working on a mini-album. I had spent a few months watching tutorials and deciding what I would like to create next.

I finally settled on Graphic45′s paper line called “tropical travelogue”. If you are not familiar with Graphic45 paper line, it really is a go to when creating mini-albums. All of the paper in a pack go well with each other and if you are a fan of the vintage look you can’t go wrong.

I decided on a small mini-album that I could place smaller pics into. I will be working on a tutorial for this mini as well as another style. But for now take a look, leave a comment and tell me what you think! I am also entering a weekly challenge at Simon Says tamp and Show!. I visit that site several times a week to look at the wonderful creations the design team has done. Stop by and see for yourself!

 

I love big flowers on a cover! I made this one from plain card stock and sprayed with gold dust glimmer spray. I had some wood shell accents from Close to my Heart and I cut out the flowers, title and fish from the paper.

 

 

 

On this page I found some old postcards. I prated it out on card stock, made a flower and cut the lady out of the paper.

 

Sorry about the blurry pic. These are the last 2 pages!

Please show some love and let me know what you think.

Happy Scrappin’

How about a gift card from her favorite shopping store…not thoughtful enough? Ho

Something I saw over at “How Does She Do It?” blog, is an easy and thoughtful gift for Mom.
