Woodland creatures flip over mini album

I just loved Fabscraps woodland creatures range it is adorable, although my daughter is 18yrs old when she saw this little flip over mini album she fell in love with it and has been begging me to have it (Im still deciding I love it too).

I used two pieces of chipboard for the base and then plain cardstock for the 'pages'. I fussy cut out a lot of the images from the papers and added them with some flowers etc to the pages.

I am still busy with the tutorial but as soon as its finished I will post it. Here is a sneak peak video.

Happy crafting everyone!

Baby mini album with a twist

Here is a little mini that I created using the Fabscraps sweet baby collection.
I used a pair of baby shoes as the cover for my little mini album. This would be perfect for those special little baby shoes you saved (if you saved them) unfortunately I never saved any of my kids baby shoes so these are a pair that I bought.
I added the little bears to the inside of the shoes as a little extra interest.

The album isn't very big so it can really only hold small pics or journaling. Although if you used a bigger pair of shoes you could make the album a little bigger.

I created an accordian style mini using plain blue card stock then covered each of the pages with a different patterned paper (front and back). There isn't a lot of room for embellishments but I added some buttons and some of the images that I fussy cut from the paper line.

Once I was done embellishing I glued the first and last pages of the mini album to the shoes. Then added a few decorations to the outside of the shoes and of course the little bears into the shoes.

Sweet baby layout

Hi everyone, its been awhile since I last posted and I do apologise. We are in the process of moving from our small town into the big city, so its been back and forwards to Johannesburg (an hour and a half drive each way) trying to find a house and organise our daughters studying for next year. However I have been crafting in between all of this I just havent had alot of time to post things.

Here is a layout I created for Fabscraps using their sweet baby collection.

I used one of my fabric hand made flowers again, I just love using them on layouts!
