Mini Album for my Sister

My sister has a beautiful home, but her yard is a little paradise. She has flowers, an amazing waterfall pond and a vegetable garden. She loves gardening and working in her yard. She even keeps the seed packets and tags that come with plants so I thought I would make her a mini to put her pictures in and pockets for her seed packets and tags. It's 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and I used K&Company Watercolor paper.

Halloween Mini Album

This album was made by request from a very special 7 year old boy who selected the paper and had some great ideas. He wanted a black cat, big pumpkin, haunted house and lots of bats.

Here are the sites for the svg files I used.

For Hayleigh - Once Upon a Time Mini Album

I made this mini for my adorable niece (she lives in another state - boohoo). She's not familiar with minis so I added some pictures to get her started. This album is 7"x5" and I used the DCWV Once Upon a Time paper.

My Reminder Book

I'm calling this my reminder book...my version of the smash book. I was watching one of Kathryn's (Scrap Beach - http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-on-the-scrap-beach) ustream shows (love, love, love her shows) and decided to make one. I'm surprised how much I actually use it. I even have a "wish" section. It has things I've cut out of magazines that I'd like to have. :)

Shabby Chic Mini Album

My first attempt at "Shabby Chic". This is a real mini - it's 4 1/2" x 3 1/4". I made it with leftover paper I from my "smash book".

Garden of Love Mini Album

This is an 8x8 album using K & Company Spring Blossom collection. Beautiful paper which made this album fun to work with. Thumbnail photos below (just click on the photo).

Where to put my paint?

I don't have a lot of space for crafting so I had to come up with a place to put my paint...I bought this unfinished at Joann's and painted it with brown and black acrylic paint.

Portrait of Chisai

Isn't she so cute! This is a painting of my sister's dog. I used My Studio acrylic paint, added a ribbon bow and some prima flowers that I also painted.

Crochet Butterfly

Found a cute crochet butterfly pattern by Shopetsy on Youtube and made one. Tutorial can be found here: http://youtu.be/v_0L152d1oc  or you can watch them below.
