LOAD #7- A mini album

A couple of years ago I made a few scrapbook kits. I had not done anything with them, until yesterday. I wanted to whip up something real quick and grabbed one of those kits. I grabbed the Halloween one and got to work.
 I wanted to make it easy on myself, so I only added very few extras to the original kit. For me,less choices means I can get done faster. I added some embossing folders, Black Magic mist, button twine and wiggly eyes.  
I used 6x6 chipboard for the base of my pages and O Wires for the binding.

The front cover. The pumpkin is a wood piece I covered with designer paper. (I put this kit together so long ago I forget which paper collection I used.) I used some button twine to tie a metal charm to the stem. As it turns out this was the only page I used the mist one. LOL (I need to pick up some tiny black letters to add to the title.)

Here you can see one of the embossed photo mats. I added some chipboard letters and stars and layered some flowers on these pages. The spiral clip at the top of the right page holds the flap closed. (This is a good way to add more space for photos.)

 The flap opened.

 The page on the left I left plain. The spooky trees were too cool to cover. I added a plastic id badge for a couple of wallet sized photos. The page on the right has an embossed photo mat some black cardstock, layered flower and skull and tombstone ribbon.

Another embossed phot mat with a torn photo corner and layered flower.
The "spooky" page is my favorite! I like the wiggly eyes inside the "o"s and the black pompom trim!

 A library pocket will hold photos as well as a journaling card. I added a paper bag with a tag in the opening. 

 Paper bag pages.

 Another embossed photo mat.  I added the velvety cat stickers to the page on the right. (I will get some tiny black letter stickers to add some wording.)

And now for some details-

 A metal charm.

 I used the Bind-it all to bind my album, then added ribbon and another metal charm. 

 A wiggly eye flower. LOL

And this is what I have left over. I can further embellish the pages once I get some photos in there. 

It feels good to use my stash!! And it only took about 3.5 hours to finish the whole thing.Even though I am not big on Halloween I am very pleased with how my mini turned out! (And Hunter gave it his seal of approval!! LOL)
I need to look and see what other kits I have. LOL
Thanks for stopping by!!
Until later~

Rockin' Roxie Matchbook Kit

I made an album yesterday. Yep, I did the WHOLE thing. LOL I can not believe how quickly I got this album done. Oh, and it's so easy ANYONE could do it. The kit is brand new from The Angel Company. I love the colors!! Yesterday was the perfect day to use these festive colors, because the weather outside was far from festive!! LOL The kit is Rockin' Roxie Matchbook kit. (This is a part of the Miss Moxie Collection from TAC)

For only $8.95 you can complete an entire album. You get 3 twelve by twelve pages of punch- outs. For the cover, you have 2 options, the other side is blue. There are 7 double sided pages,and lots of embellies. Each page is ready to go, or embellish with the die cuts that are included. (I also stamped in mine, like here on the cover. **Why, have I not stamped on designer paper before?** I really love that look.) Other than the stamps, the only other thing I added was the ribbon to hold everything together. (I will add eyelets too, as soon as I get them.)

Here are some of the pages. The colors are perfect for many themes. I used our fall pictures. I think spring and summer pictures would be perfect too.

The stamps used are Starburst florals (a set designed to match the flowers in the Miss Moxie collection.) Swirly gigs was also used.

These little albums are great to keep on your desk or to give as gifts.

** The photos in my album are wallet size. I had mini pocket albums printed for gifts and had left overs. 4x6 would look awesome too.)

Until later~
