Mini album with pockets!

It has been an awesome weekend! Saturday was spent at a scrapbooking fair not far from where I live. As I don't live close to any scrapbooking shop it's like Christmas everytime that fair is arranged! I think there were six or seven companies that participated. One of them sold Distress Ink pads and refills really cheap! I took all I could get my hands on! And now when I finally have all the refills I just saw that Ranger released refills to the limited edition pads. Oh well...

Sunday we had another crop. This time P was going to show us how to make a mini album out of one sheet of 12 x 12 paper (here's the tutorial). Wow! It was so fun! I will sure make more of these! Unfortunately we all felt kind of tired after the scrapbooking fair so we weren't very creative at the crop. But I got so inspired when I got home so I finished it yesterday evening.

Here is the front. I used a paper from American Traditional Designs: Elegant Wedding - Earthtones. The stamp is from Glitz: GS2389 Love Nest Bird Cage Stamp. Flowers from Reprint, bling from Storyteller and charms bought at Dollarstore (a Swedish shop). The tape I used is a cheap stationary tape I bought at Ö&B (another Swedish shop), it's kind of transparent white. I like it! I used four Distress Inks: Pumice Stone, Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon.



Stamps from Basicgrey:aviary, my handwriting, bling from Panduro and a border punch from Martha Stewart. I don't know the name of it since I borrowed it at the crop. I made a tag out of a scrap piece of paper. Stamped it with Flower 4 (PM541886) from Prima Marketing and inked the edges. I used a Distress Marker: Picket Fence, to make two flowes white. This mini album will be a birthday card and I'm going to write the greeting on this tag.

Tiny Alpha Stickers from Kaisercraft under a plastic sticker from Panduro. The bird is painted with Crackle Accents (bought it at the fair, I'm in love with it already!!). Martha Stewart punch: Doily Lace. The tag is made from a masterboard I created at the crop a while ago (yes! I've been into orange for a while now!!). The lyrics are from a song from ABBA, one of my favourite ABBA songs.

Alphabet stamps from Studio G, The flower is from Prima Marketing Paisley Road 1 (PM542030). I borrowed the Friends Forever stamp and the Martha Stewart punch.

Paper clip from Ordning & Reda. The tag is stamped with Paisley Road 2 (PM542047) från Prima Marketing. The Martha Stewart punch and the stamp with the roses is borrowed. The lyric is from a song by Marie Fredriksson of Roxette.
