Cute little mini album 4

A 3'' x 3'' mini album for a couple. V for the gal and P for the guy.

This is another card I created for my customers some times ago. It is a special thank you card for their camp leader. They requested to leave some space in the cover for their photo. Since there are about 15 of them are going to write their thankful speech to their camp leader, i added an extra paper inside the card for extra writing space.

July 2012 Inchie Exchange

Last month we had another exchange, it was inchie with butterfly theme. I thought it would be easier than ATC, but when i started to do it only i realize how challenging it is. There were 8 of us participated in this activity, what we need to do is everyone has to design in 4 1''x1'' paper. To make collection easier we will then paste them in a larger card. I was planning to use my kaiser craft butterfly stamp set before i started, then i found the stamp is too big for inchie and i have to give up the idea and find alternative way to finish it. Here are the inchie i've done. First I prepare 7 2''x 2'' cardstock. Then i use sponge to apply distress ink to the cardstocks, stamping, then I cut the cardstock into 4 equal inchie. Next step is also easy, punch out some butterflies, add some half pearl on butterfly body to add more dimension, decorate with ranger liquid pearls, stick them in a black cardstock,then my inchie is done!

Unfortunately until now i still not yet completed my inchie collection from others. Some of the inchie I received are opened by someone else before me and the inchie is either damage (i've fix it)or missing (the sender ll send one more time to me, big hug to them!). I'm not sure who did it but super doubt the postman here. Anyway, Those are the lovely inchie I received so far.

Handmade envelope album

Making album is always fun for me. With some beautiful pattern paper, chipboard, fabric and envelope, plus adhesive plus creativity I believe everyone can make their own album. Here i''ll show you my 6.5'' x 5'' album made with basic grey 6 x 6 pattern paper pad. I prefer to use paper pad because those paper with different pattern and colour are designed to match each other, it makes thing easier and gives you a good result.
