Film Tin Mini Album

My youngest sister Tarah was inducted into the French National Honor Society at her school earlier this year. We are so proud of her. In order to commemorate this wonderful experience I made her a film tin mini album.

I know that Graphic45 sells the film tins, but I found some actual old film tins at a thrift store and I was dying to use them! (I still have 10 left....I don't think I will use them all....I am a hoarder.)

I used the Graphic 45 "Curtain Call" Collection.

Macey's Baptism Book

I love creating mini albums that will be keepsakes for the rest of someones life. A cherished child at my old ward was baptized. Before her baptism everyone received note card to write Macey a little message and then I created an album out of those little messages.

Steampunk Spells Waterfall Album

Now that Christmas is over I am happy I can finally show off this Waterfall Album I made for someone to give as a Christmas Present. I had so much fun making this album. I used G45 Steampunk Spells Paper and an assortment of Tim Holtz embellishments from my stash.

Accordion Butterflies

While I was away with my Besties this past Spring at the Making Memories Expo in Columbus, Ohio I saw these beautiful butterflies at one of the booths. However, the booth was selling them in their kits and not separately. Knowing I didn't want to pay $30.00 for a kit for what I wanted... I scoured the Internet and found them for $5.99 plus shipping, but they only came three per pack.

Here is the butterfly attached to the page kit that I saw at the convention.

Alright, so I decided that I would attempt to use my Gypsy to create these butterflies on my own. It took me several hours, but If I welded together one Large oval and one small oval and then accordion folded them at 1/4" they turned out pretty neat. I did not add the metal antenna and body. I just used some elastic that I had in my stash. Love the idea and so I made several for my stash.
