The Hybrid Chick - Mini Album

Hi all. I would love it if you would go check out my very first hybrid craft project that I posted over on The Hybrid Chick blog.

I created this mini album using a beautiful digital scrapbooking kit called "Sweet Anemone" by Paper Garden Projects. I have a step by step posted there. I sure hope you will have a peek!

Happy (Hybrid) Crafting!

My Bearly Mine Inspiration Project

Hello all! As I posted the other day, I am one of the new Design Team gals for Bearly Mine Designs and it's my very first inspiration project using Bearly Mine digital papers. I created a cute little hybrid crafting wedding mini photo folio!

Here is what it looks like inside:

This is sute a cute and quick project to make. I followed a video tutorial by CreationsbyChristie and it uses only one sheet of 12" x 12" cardstock. I used a sheet of textured white card. I took a piece of white ribbon and glued it to the front and back covers. I covered over top the covers with papers I printed from a Bearly Mine Designs paper kit called Summer Floral Delights. I used an edge punch on a 4" x 4" square of the blue pattern to wrap the binding putting that over top a lovely rose print I also printed out eight 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" rectangles of more of the papers to make the photo mats for inside the folio. All the papers were edged in Broken China Distress Ink.

On the cover, I printed out the sentiment I created in Paint Shop Pro to match. Then put that on dimentional foam pads and added some pale blue pearl embellies from my stash. Finally I added these lovely fabric wedding stickers I just bought. They came in a big job lot of stickers I got off of eBay. The album measures 3" x 4" and it was quick and easy to make.

We have a monthly challenge on over at the Bearly Mine Challenge blog, so please check out the current challenge. I sure hope you join us! God bless your today, thank you for having a peek at my blog and, as always...

Happy Crafting!
Dorothy

Swap - TP Roll Mini Albums

Good day all! Hope you all are having a nice weekend so far. I'm off this afternoon to go shopping with my daughter to purchase prezzies for my hubby's birthday this week. The daughter also wants to find a few items to take with her to the Download Festival next weekend. She's gone for the last few years and spends most of the year saving for it, shopping for it and anticipating it. Then she has a rotten time...lol. Ah well...

I'm here today to share the results of a TP roll mini album swap I participated in over at UK-Ireland Craft Swaps Group. I received mine from my swap partner, Yvonne, yesterday afternoon. It was just the cutest mini!

She didn't use TP roll, neither did I btw. She used cardstock and I used kitchen roll tubes as they are bigger and more sanitary...lol. Yvonne also included a note to me on a colourful postcard and some gorgeous lace. Most of them are the crochet lace...love!

Now stupid me forgot to take a photo of the one I made her before I sent it...DUH! But she was so nice and made a video reveal of the album I made her. Have a look if you like:

I am a wee bit proud of the mini I made Yvonne. It is the very first mini album of any kind that I've made. I hope to do more of them as it was so much fun to make. It came together so well, that's probably why I enjoyed it so much. If I was messing it up, I'm sure it would have been my first a last mini album...LOL.

If you like to craft and swap, why not join us on the UK-Ireland Craft Swaps Group over at Facebook. We would love to meet you.

Hope you're getting some sunshine! Happy crafting!
