Recycle it- Whimsical Designs reveal

I absolutely love to recycle items around my house.. As a crafter, I'm always keeping an eye out for boxes, cans and toilet paper rolls even, the creative side of my brain is always switched on..  This weeks reveal for Whimsical Designs is a recycle project.  We were asked to recycle something that we would normally throw away.  I chose to make a toilet paper roll mini album, which I haven't created one in a real long time.  I had loads of fun with this one and what better way to spend a sunny Sunday than in the crafting room..LOL

I was able to save 5 rolls of tp before my doggy got them, he likes to craft as well by chewing them up all over my floor..

I'm just so excited sharing this with you, I absolutely love how pretty it turned out.. I give all my thanks to my Silhouette Cameo.. I took this paper collection and scanned the papers, which made it so easy to use the prints to design the elements in the Silhouette Design edition.

After 12 hours of labor (LOL), here is what I ended up:

Love love the colors I decided to use.. its the sunshine collection by My Minds Eye..

Here's some close ups and a short 5 min video talking you through the mini.. I cracked myself up so many times cause of the mistakes I kept making.. but bloopers are great, just shows how silly I really am in real life!! LOL
