A New Handmade Mini-Album!

Friday is almost here, and with it (hopefully) free time to get crafty!  A couple of weeks ago, I made this easy, simple little mini that I want to share with you.  It's up on the PRACTICAL SCRAPPERS BLOG today, complete with a VIDEO TUTORIAL that I would love for you to check out.

You know I love capturing everyday moments, and this mini was just the right size for a series of photos, and accompanying journaling, from a recent walk with my youngest.  It's only three pages, but each page holds three tags - so there is lots and lots of room for pictures, decorations, journaling - whatever you want to create!

My mini was simply made from folding and stiching 6x6 papers together to create pockets.  My cover is an old piece of cardboard that I painted, misted and decorated after cutting it down to size.  Here's how it turned out:

These are the tags pulled out of the front pocket and the side pocket. 

The next page...

The next page, where my child added her own journaling...

There's so much space for journaling and pictures with these wonderful tags!

And the last page...

That's it for today...but be sure to stay tuned.  I will be back this weekend with a Lori Whitlock project and more...

Now go forth and be crafty!

Happy Birthday, Baby!

Today, the baby of my little brood turns 12.  Hard to believe it's been that long since she made her impatient entry into the world at the crack of dawn - two weeks before her due date because she couldn't stand to wait a moment longer.  She had things to do!  And she hasn't slowed down even once ever since.

I have a fun project that I will be sharing with you on Thursday, the 14th, featuring this child on one of our recent walks.  It has a quick video tutorial, and I can't wait to show it to you!  Until then, I will leave you with a few of my favorite photos from our walk which will be making a re-appearance in my project.

Happy Sunday everyone!  Hope it's a good one!
