A New Mini, It just had to be done!

My granddaughter was given the sweetest little tutu by her other grandmother.
 She just looked so sweet in it, that I had my daughter
Mary, to do an impromptu photo shoot of her in it. 

Does it get any sweeter than this!!!

The photo's turned out so beautiful, I just had to make a mini album! 

I actually made two, one for me and one for her other grandmother.
 I plan to give it to her at this sweet baby's 1st birthday party.

I made this mini album from one of Heidi Swapps Color Magic Memory files. 
This is one of the easiest and cutest albums I have tried so far.
Most of the embellishments are from the
 Heidi Swapp's Sugar Chic paper pad. (which is one my favorites)

I copied the idea from this video,
  Heidi Swapp Video Tutorial

I just love the way it turned out! 

So in the words of Heidi herself....

Go make pretty stuff!

Christmas Mini Album

 

A few days ago, I was asked if I would teach a class on making a mini album. 

They requested a mini album with a Christmas theme.

I was so excited about the opportunity,

 I came home and began working on an example right away. 

Here is what I came up with...

I decided on the "back to back" technique. 

I used 6 sheets of coordinating papers, a few embellishments and I had an album!

Here are some shots of the inside pages.... 

I love how the album lays flat when it is open.

I made the inside pages different lengths to add interest.

I love the way this project turned out!

I will definitely be making more of these!

Another One!

I know I am sharing a lot of videos but this lady's creations are just  too wonderful not to share!
