It's been a while since I posted any craft projects. This is a mini album I made for my first granddaughter,
who is getting ready to turn 3!
Yes, I know.
But I really did make the album almost two years ago so I'm only behind in posting the photos. :)
And speaking of photos, my daughter took these as I didn't have a very good camera at the time. I totally forgot about them and found them on a shared drive the other day. That's what really prompted me to post them. Otherwise, I would have happily gone through life thinking I didn't have any pictures of it to share. *snort*
I purchased a canvas mini album from the craft store. I don't remember which one as it has been so long but if I find another one I am buying it too. I really enjoyed working with the canvas!
The pearls are Prima, and most of the flower embellishments are probably Prima, but I handmade a few flowers from the scrapbook paper, too.
I'm famous for finding odd craft supplies for a discount and then trying to piece them all together.
Another great place to buy supplies is Mighty Dollar.
Seriously.
They are cheap but name brands!
I made plenty of little pockets to slip things into, along with tags.
I love tags!

Okay, this picture looks a little green. I don't remember using green ink.
My go-to ink is Soft Suede by Stampin'Up! |
Embroidery floss is magic. Really. It makes such a pretty addition to any page!

There's that nasty green tint again. Hmmm...could have been my editing but I'm not claiming it. :) |
There's a homemade flower up there^^^. Those are fun to make. Just cut out a circle (doesn't have to be perfect), dampen it with water and wad it up, let dry, unfold and layer with another one, adding a pearl or button. Voilà, you are done!

More handmade flowers! |

Of course it's vintage themed because that's what I like best!
Lots of tags for journaling! Prima pearls and stamping, oh yeah!
See, it really is Soft Suede around the edges. Looks way better than green. :)
I love the side view!!!
Mini albums are my favorite craft to make. I now have several more that need putting together, so I think part of my summer will be busy.
Oh, not for my daughter! Only one more for her baby who just turned one.
But I have a new grand nephew, and two new grand nieces!
