Friday

The unveiling of the super secret project! *winks*


If you spot three boys and a girl at a park/playground with a camera, it's probably me and my "entourage" (aka nephews)! :)

A day at the park mini album pages

I don't make a lot of mini albums because stuff inevitably fall off...my dad has commented that "acid-free glue is lousy!" *LOL*

But minis are great for using up little bits of scrap and making you feel better when you ruin a perfectly good piece of 4 x 12 cardstock.  You can use it as a base for your mini album like a I did! Good save! *LOL*

Supplies: American Crafts patterned papers, glitter cardstock, vellum, ribbon and stamps. SRM stickers. Brilliance inks. Wrinkle ribbon. Button.

**********************************************************

And now, the unveiling of the super secret project....*winks*

Some of you got it right....yes, it's a brand new challenge site! Yay! :) As part of its pre-launch, there will be a big manufacturer giveaway and a super fun contest! It opens its doors next Monday! I hope you will stop by my blog then to get more details about how you can partake! :)

P/s: Have the most awesome weekend friends! And please come play along with my guest Helen's modern shabby challenge! :)
