Recently I took part in a challenge over at Nicely Done Designs and was so excited when I was asked to be a Guest Designer for their current challenge of Show me the mini! Basically it is anything goes as long as it is a mini album.
I was so tempted to make yet another tiny album with binder rings etc. However I decided to make something cleaner and much more plain. Believe me I find this style really hard lol.
My daughter has just given birth to twins and I had already decided to make her a couple of mini albums for her pics. My daughter is not fussy or fancy and not into steampunk either lol. So plain and simple it is then lol.
I used coredinations in 2 shades of blue and followed the You tube tutorial I found last night. I thought I had bookmarked it but sorry I have not.
Once all the pieces were put together I randomly stamped to give it a little bit of character lol. I used some substitute pics (ones where the quality wasn't up to standard) just to demonstrate what it would look like with pics in it.
Do you realise just how hard it was for me to resist temptation of distressing it and using inks and paints lol......
