Mini-Album Monday!

So it's mini-album Monday and it's also my turn to post on the Our Kreative Karma blog, so I'm doing a cross post.  The theme for the month of April is sunshine, smiles and summer, so here is my mini-album.

The paper is Martha Stewart and a couple of Leaving Prints, the word art is also Leaving Prints.  The buttons I think are Dress it up.   Had fun making this mini-album, it's been a while.  It did take longer than I thought it would, but everything always seems to take me a while.

Close up's - Summer Mini





Hope you enjoyed y mini-album and will be posting again soon!

I am posting today as a guest designer for Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party hosted by Tara of Craftin Desert Divas! Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly linky party and you could win fabulous prizes!!

This linky party theme is Peacock Color Challenge. The sponsor is Pinque Peacock. The more you link up, the better chance you have to win.  Visit Craftin Desert Divas for all the rules and to play along.



Here is what I created for this linky party....

I used a paper mache dress form and used modge podge to attach pattern pieces.  I used the new Pinque Peacock April release stick pin and flowers.  Of course no project is complete without bling!  I also used the 3 Girl Jam crinkle ribbon and lace I found at a craft show for the skirt.  






Hope you will Craft It Up & Link It Up!!!

Welcome to Day 2 of the Pinque Peacock April Release Blog Hop!  Hope you had a chance to check out yesterdays blogs for the hop, if not, it's not too late and there are some awesome projects.

My project for the April Release Blog Hop is a picture frame.  The button and the stick pin are the new release items that I used.  The stick pins are gorgeous and the button is so pretty (even has bling on it)!

Here is a close up of the button and stick pin, but the photo doesn't do either of them justice.  The crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam and it's awesome.




The wooden block picture frame is covered in peacock fabric.  I've been looking for peacock items for at least a month and found nothing in my area at any of the stores.  I went to Beverly's and didn't find anything there either, but asked in the fabric department and they had this really pretty fabric.  I lucked out!!  The picture is my grandson Liam, but will look for a newer picture that will fit.  I am horrible about taking pictures off of my computer and actually having them printed, I had hundreds if not thousands!!  lol

So here is the picture frame.  I used the extra fabric as a backdrop for the picture.



Thank you so much for stopping by and your next stop on the hop is the talented Marji and see what she has in store for us!

Don't forget to become my newest follower!!

Mini Tuesday!


It's Tuesday and I've made a mini-album, which is my addiction.  I just love mini-albums and love making them.  For this mini I think the paper is K&Company but can't find the name of the actual paper that I used.  I am a horrible 'collector' of paper and so they get mixed up sometimes.

Here are a couple closer up shots of the mini-album.  I've used a variety of Pinque Peacock products and just love them.  The flowers (both felt and material) are awesome and the angel stick-pin is beautiful!!  The large green button is also Pinque Peacock, but it looks more brown in the photo.





Here is the finished cover.  I haven't put it all together yet, not sure how fat it's going to end up when I get all the inside pages embellished!!



And by the way, I took these pictures with my new IPad!!  I've spent most of today playing with it and since my camera has been giving me grief I thought I would check out the camera on the IPad.  It worked really well, better than my camera lately.

So thank you for stopping by and if you're not already a follower I would appreciate it if you would become one!!
