Paper Whimsies and Mini Albums


second project = surprise birthday present for a sweet little girl

staining poplar wood with acrylic then putting a lacquer finish

package of goodies

First Project = Fiona's album layout thus far


So... I've started a new project. It's something tangible and not so overwhelming. I'm quite motivated to see the end product. Instead of scrap booking an entire year and a half of Fiona's life (too, too many photos) I'm making a handmade mini album with my most favorite photographs. I'm calling it, A Year At A Glance. I'm only selecting one or two pictures to put on each page. At first, I wanted there to be twelve pages representing 12 months but I'm going to try and squeeze out 18. We'll see.

I'm absolutely in love with the paper, chipboard stickers, and stamps that I ordered from Two Peas In A Bucket. I'm just a sucker for cute paper and stickers. It reminds me of when my sister and I used to save up our pennies just to buy some stationery at the Sanrio store. It gives me that giddy feeling all over again.

I'll keep you posted on my progess.
