Mini Monday

I have been struggling to decide what to create lately, having too much stash doesn't help but I am trying to use it up - might take a while though!  I thought perhaps if I had a theme it might help so I've decided to start with 'Mini Monday', I will be sharing something small each week - a tag, ATC, small card etc., it's a good way to use up some scraps as well.

This week I'm sharing a couple of small tags, I used my Graphic 45 ATC tag die to cut them both and decorated them with papers from the Graphic 45 Bird Watcher collection.

For this one I used several small scraps of paper along with a small topper from the 8 x 8 collection, I fussy cut some flowers from one of the papers and inked the edges of everything, to finish I added some twine and a small charm.

For the second one I used my Die-namics Fishtail Flag Dies to cut several fishtail flags, I layered them up and added a sentiment that I die cut from one of the papers along with a fussy cut bird and some fussy cut flowers. To finish this one I added some grosgrain ribbon secured with a twine bow.

I quite enjoyed making these, it's surprising just how much you can fit on a small tag.

Thank you for popping in today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

Bird Watcher

Sorry I haven't been around for a while, my eldest son came to visit for a few days so I was spending time with him.

This is the completed album that I created after taking part in the most recent Facebook Live class held by Clare from My Creative Spirit, it was number 23 and we made a window box and album.

Below you can see the album inside the window box, I used a combination of papers from the Graphic 45 Bird Watcher collection - you can see more details and photographs of the window box HERE.

Next you can see the inside of the front cover and the front of the first page, the front cover has an acetate flap, there is another flap on the first page, both flaps are secured with a magnet.

The next photograph shows the flap on the inside cover open to reveal a pocket, I  have placed a journal card in the pocket but you could also put a photograph in it.

Now you can see the flap on the first page open, there is a small tuck point that I have placed another journal card in.

Next is the back of the first page with a place to display a journal card or photograph and the front of the second page with a flap that has a pocket on it, again I have placed journal cards in the pocket but you could place photographs here as well.

Below you can see the open flap with a journal card in the small tuck pocket.

On the back of the second page I used my Stitched Slots Pocket Die to create the pockets that have journal cards in them, on the front of the third page there is a place to display a journal card or photograph.

The third page with the flap open.

The back of the third page with a photo mat and the front of the final page, this one has a small pocket in which I have placed a small journal card and a small tag.

The flap opened to show a journal card in the small tuck pocket.

The back of the last page with a side pocket that I have placed a tag in and the inside of the back cover which is a repeat of the inside front cover with an acetate flap.

The flap opened to show a pocket with a journal card in it.

Finally, these are the two tags that I have placed in the pockets.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, your company is much appreciated - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.
