4x4 Mini Album

I whipped this little 4x4 Mini Album up this morning before work. It looks cute & fresh with the pink, purple & turquoise color combination. It is one of the great class projects I'll be doing at my Open House this coming weekend (Friday, 12/7 & Saturday, 12/8). For those of you who are local to the Denver area -- I'll see you there!

I used a pink 4x4 album & eyelets (white snowflakes & white rounds) from Eye-Lets Etc. The ribbon is 1/8" white satin from the craft store.

All other supplies are from Stampin' Up!:

Stamp Sets: The Snowflake Spot, Headline Alphabet (retiring soon: 12-31-07) and Season By Season (retiring soon: 12-31-07)

Card Stock: Whisper White and Tempting Turquoise

Ink Pads: Pixie Pink, Tempting Turquoise and Lovely Lilac Classic ink pads

I'm not sure how well it shows in the picture, but I sponged the edge of the Whisper White layer with the Lovely Lilac. I also "popped up" the "W" as well as the white layer to give it even more dimension.

If you're interested in any of the Stampin' Up! products used, (especially the retiring stamp sets) please contact me to place your order.

Have a lovely evening!

Here’s my answers to the questions:

1. If you could have $100.00 worth of scrapbook paper or assorted embellishments, which would you choose?
Embellishments – I LOVE adding texture through ribbons, brads, eyelets, hardware & etc.!

2. If you had to choose between using only stamps or rub-ons, which would you choose?
Stamps – I like the artistic look and the fact that you can change it by the technique used. I am looking forward to playing with the new SU! rub-ons coming out with the new Idea Book in January, though!

3. If you knew how to do both awesome cards and layouts but could only do one for a whole year...which would you do?
I’m still a card maker at heart. Most of my scrapbooks have been given away as gifts.

4. Would you rather own a scrap booking store or have your own scrapping room at home?

I need a scrapping/stamping room so that I can keep it contained to one room. Currently I have stuff in two closets, a corner desk in my bedroom, and the dining room table is usually in semi-constant “craft mode.”

5. What is your CURRENT card making or scrapping style?
I guess you could call it “Classic Eclectic.” (At least that what Bob, my DH, called it when I asked him).
