Mini Album w/ Crate Paper
Today I'm sharing with you fun little mini I created for a sweet friend's birthday. I bought this paper a while back at Michael's - it's a Crate Paper line designed by Maggie Holmes (Flea Market).
When I craft I usually grab a lot of things I think I will use -- often there are lots of things I don't use out of that pile. Those things go in a basket until I get around to putting them away. For this album I went through that basket and gathered the items I used for pages: scraps of chipboard, pieces of buntings, wooden frames, old coasters, etc. Then, I gathered several pictures of my friend from mutual friends we serve with at church. I also grabbed the paper I'd chosen, and some of my favorite Heidi Swapp stamps.
It was fun to use all these bits and pieces to create this gift:
