Happy Monday friends! My 2 year old son has become quite the little chatterbox. He is now starting to speak in short sentences and some of the things he comes out with are just down right hilarious! I wanted to have a way to remember all the funny things he says for the future so I whipped up a quick little mini album/notebook so we have a place to record them.

I covered two 4x6 pieces of chipboard with patterned paper and embellies from the This & That Charming collection by Echo Park to make the front and back covers, and I cut some white cardstock to make the inside pages. I plan to bind the book with the Bind it All from Zutter, but I have to borrow it from a friend.

Well that is it for me today, quick and fun!

Don't forget to check out what's NEW in the shop, and if there is something you can't find, just message Kristy

Have a great week!

NYC - the mini

HI there! Dani here today to show that even an "office line" can work for many different projects, even travel mini-albums! :)

Yes, yes! I have used my most beloved October Afternoon - 9 to 5 (I really do love that line!) to create my entire mini-album for my trip to the Big Apple! And I think it looks so cool...

Here is one of the pages inside, sorry I tried to take more pictures, but the pages don't open flat (and my finger is NOT part of the mini, believe me).

One thing that I truly love about this project is the biding.. I found this super clever, super simple, super cute way to bind your books somewhere on the internet and I knew I had to use it to my next mini, just 2 holes in all pages (hello crop-a-dile) an elastic band and a paperclip! Brilliant! (And it holds very well!!!!)

I hope you have enjoyed a peek into my mini. I sure had lots of fun creating it...

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello NYC!!

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share my excitement. Friday my husband and I will be heading to NYC (yep, the Big Apple itself) to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary, my favourite detail: NO KIDS ALLOWED!! YAY!!!

So, to get this parted started and already anticipating the gazillion pictures I will take, I started to work on my minibook for the trip. Can you tell that I'm excited? Well, I am!

I promise to share more of the mini-album in weeks to come, OK:

For this mini, I have used:

October Afternoon - 9 to 5
My Mind's Eye - Miss Caroline
American Crafts - Thickers

All the papers are from October Afternoon, but the twine and the wood banner are from My Mind's Eye. It's amazing how these two lines go together! Try for yourself!!!

Thanks or stopping by!
