Here's the latest little mini I have made. I was trying my hand at recreating a box similar to the Graphic 45 boxes. While I didn't quite achieve that style, I did stumble and fumble onto making a box I like...here's the side you would see on your bookshelf..and the cover has a flap that has a magnet closure. Close, but no window like the G45...maybe next time...lol.
Inside the box, I have a mini made with pretty butterfly and dragonfly papers from K and Co. and lot s of pretty flowers from Prima, Wild Orchid Craft and most importantly, from my dear youtube friend, Sue. Of course I used bling and dyed seam binding too, to give it a soft summery feel.
Plus, I am trying my hand at selling some kits on my blog. I made one from the mile high stash of things I pulled to make this mini and didn't include....
This kit includes 20 sheets of double sided K and Co. paper, four pieces or more of hand dyed to match seam binding, lots of flowers, charms and a full package of K and Co 3D stickers to coordinate, plus several sheets of mat sized papers and clear photo overlays. I only made one kit...hope someone loves these papers as much as I do...
Well I hope all of you are having fun scrapping!

Okay, I am trying to learn new things here on blogger. I sure hope this works...Take a look above and you should, fingers crossed, see a new tab that says "Things to Share" I just posted some holiday journaling tags and hope to hear you can use them. I will be adding things here in the future if you like or want...just let me know...
So glad to have these wonderful items from Misty to inspire me to make myself these design pieces. The items I used from mbtreasurista.com were:
The colors in this line are so rich and sun drenched, just like the name implies. The prints are so boho chic. I had never loved sunflowers til now. These sunflowers are much more Vincent VanGogh and Tuscan inspired. I love them. I have always been an admirer of batik prints too, so this line just called to me. 
Now the style of mini I decided on was another of Kathy Orta's inspired designs. Using craft envelopes and paper, I dug in. I so admire Kathy's work, and one of my favorite things I love is how here style is always focused on making the photos the star of the project. And man oh man do her minis hold a lot of photos. With flips and flaps and tons of hidden photo mats, they are always fun to make and to just as fun to "explore" when done. 
rich colors I needed. Yum...Lindy's sprays never disappoint...and of course I could not let one drop of the overspray go unused...I always spray on waxed paper, so the over spray won't get absorbed, 
then I use it by sopping it up with plain white seam binding and voila again....dyed to match ribbon trim. Well, thanks for stopping by, and I hope your summer is wrapping up well and your fall is starting off as beautifully as you hope...
