Memories Mini Album

Hi Everyone!  It's been a while since I blogged.  It's been a busy week!  I've been fiddling around with some mini album ideas and trying out making different tags.  On Mother's Day, my husband bought me supplies!!!  I'm thrilled.  I got several different colors of Glimmer Mist, Mod Podge, E-Line Pearls and Jewels, and a really nice emboss punch.

Anyway, so I made a paper bag album for a friend of mine and took some pictures before I give it to her.  I'm still a mini-album novice and the only original idea I have is my cover art... so enjoy!  Oh... and keep in mind, it looks MUCH BETTER in person! haha

The paper for this album cover is fiber paper.  Once bright green and pale pink, are now distressed looking and browned with Chocolate Covered Cherries Glimmer Mist.  The flowers are Prima and sprayed with the GM too.  The title is foam and gold and the little key is just a metal finding.  The stamps however are old and original.  Old stamps are one of my favorite items to scrapbook with.  I'm always keeping a keen eye out for people's old collections.
The pages on the inside have pockets and flowers and tags for journaling.  On the butterfly page, you can see an embossed white butterfly.  In each of the pockets are tags, nothing very special. :P
These pages have flowers, feathers and fibers!  Heh
Here you can see a pocket with three different tags in it, and on the right there is a pretty page with flowers and feathers. You can also see tags sticking out from the pockets.  I didn't photograph those.
This is the last set of pages, with room for journaling and another photo.  The Togetherness text is a metal die-cut. 

That's it... hehe.  One of these days I'll find a good way to photograph my art!
