Altered Container and Mini Album Swap

Hey Bloggers and Crafters!

Here is an altered container and mini album that I created for a swap that I hosted for the ladies on the Sista's Scrap Too Forum at Cricut.com. The rules were simple. Alter a container and create a mini album that fit inside for your swap sister based on her likes and such. So I sent out a "Getting to know your Sista" questionnaire and such so everyone got to know more about their swap partner. We also had to include some scrappy or other type of goodies for our swap sister as well. So this is what I came up with for my swap Sista Yvatte. Here are the pics and you can watch the video I made on YouTube HERE.


Thanks for looking!

My First Complete Mini Album - IT's A BOY!

Hey Bloggers!


Boy it has been a BUSY month! And it is not over yet! I have been busy crafting and working...working and crafting! *WHEW!* I need a vacation! But first, I wanted to share with you a baby mini album that I made for my co-worker Tammi. She is having her first baby and it's a boy! So I was inspired by Teri of Teri Beri's Creations who made a baby mini album using the Sizzix XL Baby Onsie Bigz Die. It is a retired die but you can get it here (no I am now endorsing Scrapbook.com, that is just one place that I found it for sale!)

So I have for you an extra treat! A video of the mini and some photos! YES I FINALLY CREATED and FINISHED my FIRST mini album! It came out so cute I wanted to keep it! *WARNING! This is photo heavy!!** Enjoy! And Thanks for looking!
