Hi friends,

Today I present to you my latest mini album. To make this mini book, I used Tonic Studios Dies and Lemoncraft papers aptly called: Girl's Little World. I absolutely love the watercolor images in this collection, and thought they were perfect for the type of album I wanted to make.

On the cover, I began with a white base, dotted all along the edge with different colored Nuvo drops. This immediately added to the whimsy of this book. I also used one of the darling images from the collection and highlighted it using Ranger Glossy Accents. To finish it, I also added a small banner topped with the baby's name, and different pastel-colored gems. The little butterflies also decorate the cover with matching wings and little gems.

Here you see a closer view of the mulberry roses I used to decorate the corner of the cover. They are a lovely delicate pink. I also hand colored the butterflies using promarkers.

For the spine of this book, I arranged small flowers and heat embossed them in different colors to match the papers. I also added small pieces of the lovely trims used inside the book, and topped it with an adorable little bow, wrapped in blue twine to match.

Inside the front cover is yet another stunning image. I added small sparkly sequins throughout just to give it a little shine.

The first page will allow mom to introduce her little baby girl with the title : Princess. I fussy cut all the images and added a small butterfly and tiny bird die cuts layered for dimension. Behind the oval frame is also a small pink trim I used throughout this book.

Here is the second page with more adorable images and places for pictures.

Here you see the New Baby photo sleeve I created using Tonic Studios dies, and a small bow from Pink & Main. I also added the mother bunny image here, with an embossed flower and layers of trim, tiny hearts, flowers, and touches of shine.

The opposing page houses a little booklet which fits more pictures. It is also topped with a little girl bunny, altered with glimmer, and grouped with the word Love atop a small heart. I used shimmery soft yarn to create the closure.

On this page spread I added four matching oval frames. Then I decorated the pages with little bunnies from the paper collection, small butterflies and pink embossed cabbage roses , a pinwheel and the title: Fantastic Girl.

Here you can also see the beautiful Daisy Chain Lace from Reneabouquets on the edges of the pages. A small pink heart is also topped with a daisy. I cut these from the lace and used them throughout the book as well.

The next page is so endearing, with the two little girls who appear hugging, such a tender gesture!

I used more small interactive frames, a heart shaped paper clip layered with vellum, beautiful board pieces topped with moonstones, and a darling little flower-filled cup. It reads: Pretty Day.

The opposing page has more frames, a small teddy, and duck. Both are made in the same fashion as the heart. All of the small flowers are fussy cut from the collection. The sentiments read: My Super Girl, and Special Moment. Small pictures may be placed inside.

This layout appears simple, but it houses a little door for more pictures. The left page features little pink shoes. these are grouped with more flowers, and a little blue butterfly. The opposite page is a simple frame that has been bordered with the delicate pink flower trim.

Here is a closer look at the small shoes, and the tab that opens the page. You can also see the dry-embossing on the paper. I used an embossing folder for the added texture.

This page also has a shaker!!!! It is also a door into another picture pocket. I adorned it with the lovely little girl, flowers that serve as a frame, two shiny dragonflies, and a small tab on the corner keeps it closed.

The opposing page also has a clear acetate pocket, topped with more butterfly beautiful board pieces colored to match and topped with small daisies and gems.

Here is the open page, revealing the space for a picture and a dainty heart-shaped garland. I colored each to match the papers.

The very last page houses small tags that can either be used for important milestones, or more pictures. I also topped the pocket with embossed paper and a gorgeous piece of lace. Then I finished it all with more gems.

For the back cover I added a clear pocket cut with Tonic Studios dies, and also added larger tags with beautiful seam binding ties The pocket is layered with a flower swag and a small blue butterfly. On the corner is another beautiful board butterfly colored to match the page and finished with sequins.

I hope you've enjoyed this project share, that you can Be inspired, and Be blessed!

Hi friends,

I'm enjoying spring, and finally getting into my garden to enjoy the gorgeous colors and sounds! Today, I am bringing you a mini album covered in all of the beauty that we can encounter in a Secret Garden...

(Dies used: Tonic Studios Mythical Glade)

On the cover...

From the very top of the cover, you can see a nest full of adorable singing birds. They are nestled in a grouping of flowers that drape onto the page. Below them are a stunning Dragonfly, and floating butterflies that I suspended with floral wire. These quite literally float on the page!

Front and center is our Dahlia Flower girl. She inhabits this garden among the mulberry flowers, covered in sparkle and moonstones. Behind her are layers of paper altered with glimmer and delicate lace. Peeking from one corner is also a small beautiful board butterfly...

Dimensions: 8"x 6.5"x 3.5"
Papers: Summer Studio

A closer look reveals the delicate beauty of this Dahlia Flower Girl and My Romantic Heart Butterfly. This is suspended with floral wire for some added whimsy. The lilac Mulberry Rose is also topped with a Butterfly Kisses Spun Lavender Single Side Printed Butterfly. I also fussy cut images from the Sweet Sentiment paper collection to include more floral arrangements in this book.

Take a peek at the adorable Printed Beautiful Board Large Bird Nest Laser Cut Chipboard. Can't you just hear them singing? You can also see how I've added dimension and layers with more fairies peeking in the background, glistening hearts that float on the page, and touches of light with pearls, gems, moonstones and Nuvo drops.

On the spine of this book, I took the opportunity to display the Flower Crown Lace that drapes beautifully with its delicate peaks, and topped it with one of the pieces from the
Beautiful Board Large Dainty Butterfly Pattern. These have been altered with Nuvo Alcohol markers, cotton candy flat back pearls, and sequins.

Hand-painted papers are fun to incorporate into my projects!

The interior pages of this mini album continue the secret garden theme with each page displaying doors that open to reveal pictures. Each embellished with White Wide Floral Embroidered Lace, adorable magical hummingbirds, and pockets filled with vellum tags. The first page hosts a dancing ballerina, topped with a Romantic Heart Butterfly...

I used several Tonic Studios dies from my collection. All ephemera is fussy cut using my Tonic Scissors.

Using the Cathedral Elements Laser Cut Chipboard topped with

Gawdie Girl Pink Chunky German Glitter Glass, I was able to make a glimmery nest for my magical hummingbird on this page. The delicate pieces of lace are shown here in Ivory...

All pages are decorated with Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.

The Cathedral Elements Laser Cut Chipboard can also be used as-is. Here I only topped it with Cotton Candy pearls, and a gorgeous ballerina fairy from the paper collection...

For a delicate touch on the opposing page, I added more Cotton Candy Pearls.

I made each page slightly different layering Vellum in soft pastel hues.

This page has a delicate vellum-layered pocket. To keep the items soft, I layered the Wide Floral Embroidered lace with moonstones and more images from the collection...

Using my pastel Prima Watercolors, I managed to paint each page to match!

All of the pages are cohesive, and here you can get a glimpse at the last page, that also has a piece of the Beautiful Board, sprinkled with Pale Pink Glass Microbeads. Each piece can be altered to suit your fancy, which makes them easy to incorporate into any project!

Frame topped with Cotton Candy Pearls.

On the last page, you can closely see that I have dry embossed all of the base pages in this book with a floral pattern for added texture. This final page has a hidden door to reveal three revolving doilies, and its door couples more butterflies and a magical hummingbird. All of these pieces will help tell a wonderful story.
