My 1st mini album swap

I participated in my 1st mini album swap..This was really a tough-y for me. Thanks to the hostess EmpressTrahan for coordinating this mystery partner swap. The theme was color based. Each person had to submit their wish for a color to be used in their album and I selected the color Burgundy from the list. Here is what I came up with:

 i added mini vellum butterflies to the flourish on the cover

 i added tags to the pockets on the possibilities page. You can't see but there are stickles in the grid stamp

 The left side had a accordian album inside of the white frame it has 5 sides.

 i pictured the hope page below with tags, it opens up to reveal more real estate.

 The acetate was moved to the 1st set of pages..I have "tip" tags in the love pocket.

 here is the accordian mini pocket

 hope page open with tags

Final page (originally pictures with butterfly acetate covering it)

Hope my partner likes it as much as I had fun making it.

Stampin Dymonz Scrap Shack

This is the tag I made for the monthly swap held at the Scrap Shack Village. The theme this month was Inkie Fingers, we had to incorporate 3 colors, a Tim Holtz product, use a brayer, mask, and resist. As if that wasn't enough of a challenge..it had to be dimensional..so here is what I came up with:

Dies:
Sizzix Alterations-Tag and bookplates
Sizzix Alterations-Caged bird
Sizzix-Flower and vines with stem

Stamps:
Fiskars- bold flowers 8x8
Glitz designs-D2323 text

Papers & Fibers from misc. sources.

Hope the gals like them..

My 1st Blog Award

Wow..I'm all warm and fuzzy!! Thanks Karen at ScrappyKsue for giving me this wonderful surprise. I don't blog for followers or blog for any monetary gain, so it was a total shock that someone whom I don't really know would think of my blog as stylish. I blog for me and it's nice to be appreciated. So thanks again.

1. I love fried okra.
