Valentine in October?

Another mini album to share today. Actually I have two, but one is a Valentine mini album that I had started in January this year but unfortunately it had been set aside for other reasons unbeknownst to me! I did finally finish it so that it could be raffled off in our United Way campaign at work which was held weeks ago.

Top view of pocket pages

Inside first page

2nd pages

you can see the photo mat/journaling mat sticking out of the side pockets

lots of photo mats and spots to journal on

lots of reds, pinks and blacks

 

I used an older Authentique paper line along with all the stickers and embellishments that came with the pack. Pink, red and black cardstock from my stash along with the ribbons, flowers, pearls and clips used.
I think I will hold off sharing the 2nd album with you until next week....until then,

Authentique Halloween

Good Sunday morning to you! It has been cold, cloudy, windy and cold - did I say cold twice? Yes!! But I refuse to turn on the heat this early. I did break down and pull out the totes that stores the winter clothes. ..and flannel pajama's!

I'm sharing mini album #3 that I had made for our United Way raffle that was held last week at work.

 I used the new Authentique Moonlit paper pad. This is the front cover, the spider web doily is from Stampin Up.

 Here I added some bats and the black cat on the left. On the right is a pocket page with photo mats and journaling cards and tags.

 This is the first time I made a file folder out of card stock. Every thing was working out great until I realized I put the pages in backwards! But the album was all put together and decorated when I discovered my error! You really can't tell unless I point it out.

 The bronze filigree you see above is from Butterbee Scraps. I added the gem to the middle.

 Another filigree from Butterbee Scraps-

 The page on the right has a magnetic closure. It opens (below) into a trifold photo mat.

 I made the bellyband (right page) out of one of the pattern paper in the tablet.

On the left side, I die cut the pocket from a PTI die and filled it with photo mats and journaling cards.

 

 Left page-the spider web flips up to another tri fold photo mat with a magnetic closure. The page on the right - the belly band was made from a Martha Stewart punch

 This page features a waterfall folio. The vertical tab has a magnetic closure which keeps the photo mats from popping up.

Thank you for stopping in. Your comments are much appreciated!

Home Sweet Home

I have another mini album to share with you this Sunday morning.

I used the Graphic 45 paper line titled Home Sweet Home.

What I love about Graphic 45 papers is that everything is all matched up for you.

 

I made these flowers using the pattern papers from the 6x6 collection and a PTI die. The leaves I punched with a Stampin Up punch. The brads I used for the center of the flowers are from my stash.

I used the waterfall style for this album.

 

I added a side pocket to hold additional photo mats, tags, and journaling cards. 

Thanks for taking a peek at my little blog. Comments are always appreciated! Have a good rest of your week.

Steampunk envelope mini album

Wow - over a month since I've blogged! I have been super busy with one thing or another. As I mentioned in my last post, I was going to try making an envelope mini album. And indeed I did! I have been busy making many mini albums.

 Front cover ~

Most of the papers and embellishments are from Graphic 45's Steampunk Spells line. I've thrown in some Erie Tales by Graphic 45 too. Lots of little bits and bobs from my stash and some fussy cutting too.

Lots of pockets to hide secrets in along with a ton of photo mats and journaling cards too. 

I have made a few more albums to share with - maybe next time! I made them all as a donation to our United Way Campaign that my employer holds every year. The mini albums are being raffled off one day next week. So, until next time~
