Graphic 45 Perfect Gentleman Mini Albums

Hi everyone.  Guess my pact of trying to post once a week fell by the wayside.  I have just been a little busy renovating my girls bedrooms (something a little more grown up as they are now 12 and 13).  I just seem to run out of hours in my day!!!!  School holidays are upon us and hopefully things will sloooow down.  Just a little anyway.

Anyhooo, I shall stop boring you all and get on with today's post.  Earlier last year I taught a bunch of wonderful ladies a Mini album series using the Graphic 45 Perfect Gentlemen 8 x 8 paper pad.  The whole idea was to show them just how many things they could get from that one single pad.  Well did we have some fun or what and they all loved the end results.  We actually had quite a bit of paper left over and I have used my remaining stash to make some cards.

All up we got 3 mini albums (these were quite detailed) and a lovely flip Calendar for the desk top.  I have no photographs in mine as I generally do this after I have taught the classes but here are some pics for you all.

This is album number one which we used the bind-it-all to put it all together.












This is album number two.  For this one I created pocket pages using just black card stock.  I stuck all the pages together then stuck the inside pages to a cover with a spine.  This book has loads of hidden pockets everywhere to put photographs or bits and bobs.









I will post the other albums next week so stay tuned.

Ciao for now. x

I'm Baaaack

I'm Back!  Yes I have been Mia for a very looooong time I know.  I have just been way too busy to take time to write a blog on a regular basis.  I am sure you all understand how life gets from time to time.  During my absence I have become Copic certified so you will start to see some projects using these wonderful markers (they go well with my love of stamping).


I have also made quite a few mini albums (another one of my favs) so will post about some of them as well so stay tuned.  There may also be a few cricut projects thrown in the  mix as well.


At this stage I am unsure as to how often I will be posting but I will try to do at least one post a week to start with.  So stay tuned and peek back in the next few days for my next post.


Ciao xx
