Laura Rumble - Crafter

Hey there, today is new challenge day at Crafty Ribbons !  My team mate Elaine has chosen the theme of Holidays, and I have made a layout about an annual camping trip my youth group went on... The paper collection is from Cocoa Vanilla Studios, and enamel dots from my stash.  I used a new (to me) stamp set that I picked up in like for ever 's sale to stamp a little 'hello sunshine' tab... Most of the goings on on this layout are safely tucked away in a glassine bag behind my main photo.  There were a few extra photos and some journaling that I didn't want the world to see and a glassine bag is my favourite way to contain such things.  And that is where the ribbon comes in... The photos are 7x5 inches and so the bag needed to be big enough to hold them.  The little tags made their way to the bottom of the bag and got lost.  To remedy this I added some ribbon pulls to each journalling card and tag so they are easy to access. All the ribbons...

I have a few Mini Albums to share so I've decided to I'll share one at a time for a month of Mondays, so welcome to Mini Madness Monday I... I found a little memory card holder in Paperchase.  It told me it wanted to be a scrap book though... So I transformed it: And I had so much fun doing it!  Half a rub on, flowers, a brad and a tag with ribbon for the front cover.  Inside it started with a little accordion folding to make the pages... It's quite small so not much room for layering or embellishing - I gathered some of my smallest pieces, quite a few were little post it notes. The rest of the embellishing came from doodling with a black fineliner. And here is the other side:  I used some rub on butterflies and my black pen to jazz up the back. I'm so pleased with how it turned out - my holiday captured in a little case :) I'd like to enter this at:  Make My Monday - anything but a card...
