Girlz! An itty bitty Coaster album.

So, I have all this girly paper and no girls in my house.

I decided to go ahead and use it up and get a start on some product for an Etsy store that I keep thinking I will start some day.. I always have good intentions and then I get side tracked.

I started with some papers that I thought would appeal to the tween group and tried to make it something that would appeal to the 10 - 13 year old set. I think I got it..

Now that is has a ribbon and a charm, I'll stop messing with it.

Lots of tags!

Of course, if your like me, it's never finished and I decided I should have charms on my albums, so I whipped up one of those too.. I had no idea I could do this but once I started I went crazy. I love how they all turned out.

New ideas to take me away from the laundry!

I won't bore you with all of them.. but they are fun to do! Since this photo, I've made a few more with pink, I'll add the pics on the next blog. Princess mini coaster album coming up..

and.. another cool cake! Yum.

Mini Chipboard Album - Baby boy

A mini chipboard album for my Grandson, Kayden.

This album has been added to the following linky parties:
Make it Monday linky party
Inspire me Fridays linky party

Moving away from traditional baby colors, I’ve mixed in rusts, browns and blues to give it more boy than baby feel. Most of the paper was from My Minds Eye “Complete Boy Collection”. I added a lot of little details and interactive pages to keep it interesting. I always try to throw in a few shaped pages for visual interest as well. As always, I never think I’m finished and the books get too thick (is that even possible?

I’ll soon be adding tutorials on all the items you see used here. Most of it is pretty straight forward, the multi pocket tag holder (above) was the most complicated and even that wasn't too hard using a standard envelope. Unfortunately, I did forget to photograph of the back side of the photo tags, which all had something on them. 

Next up: A secret surprise book for someone special and I have a few Facebook “Pay it forward” gifts to get busy with.
