I have been making the most of my time off and I’ve got a bunch of things to share.

First up, two mini albums!

Tropical Travelogue

Materials: Graphic45 papers and embellishments, silk ribbon, chipboard, 7 Gypsies gaffer tape, American Crafts kraft and cream cardstock.

Graphic 45 has a terrific blog and always have really inspiring projects – I created this mini album based on one that they featured a few weeks ago – check it out here! Whenever we travel, I always keep a detailed journal so I don’t forget a thing – I have a terrible memory, so if I didn’t I’d be lucky to even remember we went on a holiday!

This album ended up lot fatter than I had planned originally, so it was quite a challenge to actually get the pages to stay inside the cover – in the end, I’ve tied them in with string rather than trying to stick them in with tape or glue.

Ladies Diary

Materials: Graphic45 papers, chipboard, American Crafts kraft cardstock

Another Graphic45 album – I love these papers, they’re so elegant! This great mini album is from a pattern from Big Picture Classes – this is the second mini album I”ve made with this pattern and probably not the last – it’s such a versatile design and so easy!
