Mini Brag Album

This brag album is 4x4 and is made out of White DL envelopes

 

The papers are all from My minds Eye magnolia stack.

I covered both sides of the envelopes with different papers

I cut out the word BRAG 4 times on my Cricut, stuck all the layers together to look like chip board, I then went over the top with 3D lacquer

This plaque was done on the PC using MY CRAFT STUDIO and taking the oval shape and images of the booties from some of their CD`s, I have quite a few so not sure what ones I used, I have them loaded on the PC and just jump from one to another.

As you can see I have added some photos of Keaton, cut out a little from this is also from MCS

Then in each of the four pockets I have made little pull out mats and added a photo to both sides

Here you can see how it all folds out, but still nice and small just right for carrying around in your handbag

To Finish it all off I added some book rings tied lots of thread, ribbon and a hand made by heart charm to the book rings as you can see in the first photo.
not a hundred percent pleased with this one, there are things I would do different I used white envelopes and don't like how they look when pulling out the tabs, so watch this space, I have already bought some more brown envelopes for the next one

Mini Recipe Album

It was all in the goody bag from do crafts for £14.99 got mine from the range

I covered two 6x6 inch chip board with paper from the collection , the butterflies were cut out of the left over papers using Svg files from Penny Duncan, I also used one of her files for the frame, I then added a few of the Sunshine flowers, and a bow from the sunshine ribbons set

Then i took some more of the papers and added them to the next pages, on these pages I made some pockets out of the papers so that i could slip my tags with the recipes written onto them inside, I added some more of the ribbon, cut some flowers  of the papers on my cricut out again the SVG files came fro Penny Duncan, also added some buttons from the goody bag onto the ribbon, I also stamped an just for you from stamping up punched this out using one of the scallop punches and put on the page

punched a border out of card and made another pocket added this to the bottom of the page, making another pocket put in a tag, Added some more butterflies

Made two more pockets out of the papers Added Gems from the goody bag also did a bit of tearing on the other side and added another tag, the tags are also SVG files from Penny

another pocket for tags added to the side, with yet another butterfly, The next page is quite plain with just the papers and ribbon edge finished of with a flower and brad, Yes from the same bag of goody's

again for these pages you can see more ribbon, double  pockets, tags and flowers

as I was making up each page I went around the edges with ink pads in shades of brown and orange, I also used the same pads to distress the Tags.

I then added some book rings and put lots of thread, Ribbon, beads and a charm.

I still have some pages to make and lots of papers and embellishments left to use up
