So, have I said how much I love love love making mini albums?, well, if I haven't, then I DO, I DO, I DO..LOL
and what a great way to spend a hour of your evening, than sitting in front on the computer and checking out some great videos on tube on different styles of minis.. I seen this cute little pocket mini made with business size envelopes by : Follow The Paper Trail

and please leave her some much deserved love, She is just amazing!!..
and I knew as soon as I seen it, that I had to try to create one.. I was super quick and embellishing it was so much fun.. Tried to control myself though..LOL
Here is the cover to the mini, which I cut from yet another cereal box and I did the back as well.. from what I remember, its a 6x5 cut..not super sure though.. :O)





Used some Prima flowers, a chipboard element and then I cut the title "Autumn" with my cricut.
And then for the inside of the mini album..
I took two photos of every page.. one with the tags in place and then another where I had pulled all of the tags out..

Gears In Motion and Framed pics-DT

Happy Monday ladies.. I've been so busy having fun with these Bo Bunny Cambridge papers, that I refuse to throw any of it away.. took some of the scraps that were left over from a few layouts and decided to spoof up some plain jane white frames I had found on sale a while back..these really were just sitting on the shelf collecting dust..
So, here is the layout I made.. This is my son Aaron a few years ago, when he was going through his no hair Phase..LOL  a few years later and he went through his "Don't cut it!" phase..LOL

Seemed like no matter how many photos I took of this layout, they were all just a tiny bit blurry... so sorry about that.. 
and here are some close ups:


I had a blast with the cuttlbug and a Tim Holtz embossing folder I had found on ebay a few months back.. I think its called brick wall.. can't remember exactly.. But, I also inked em a little bit after embossing just to bring some of the brick work out a bit.. looks so kewl!!  :O)

then for the scraps.. I try so hard not to waste scraps and I seriously wanted to to use them all, but decided to just stick with a few choice colors..LOL
Here are the frames:

My son Adam is on the left and son Aaron is on the right..
alrighty then:

Bo Bunny Cambridge Line: Dot, Post and Cobalt papers
White 7x5 frames

Report card keepsake box-Generations Crafting

Good Monday morning ladies.. been feeling a bit under the weather all last week, but I really really really wanted to finish this little keepsake box.. It turned out so cute and really didn't much for embellishments. Its for my boys after all..LOL (psssst. Remember, no flowers mom)
I was lucky to have these great Bo Bunny Cambridge papers and I'm soooooo in love with them..
I found the clasp at my local scrapbook/craft store and then added some screw head brads and a few Tim Holtz Journaling tags..Thought those would be cute to add some notes later when I actually hunt down all of their report cards that I have been saving in a safe place for the last 9 years..LOL
and for the inside of the box:
and Finally the back:

alright ladies.. thank you all sooooo much for looking and do stop by Generations Crafting and check the gallery for great ideas and inspirations..
Hugs
