A Mini fold out scrapbook

I was scrapping up a storm this weekend, so much to do and so little time.

Amongst a few other things I made a little flip out mini book for my Nan. I am yet to round up all the photos that akw and I have taken with the Fuji Instax to pop into it but I couldn't resist posting these pics now.

I made it with Bazzill and patterned card paper from the BoBunny Mama-Razzi range which I just love... The only other bits I added to it were a small key chain and a couple of small flower eyelets to thread the chain through. The eyelets lends the album a bit of strength so that the chain doesn't simply tear the card.

Mini tutorial for this album coming soon.

A very cool stumpwork mini fabric book

Love this stumpwork mini fabric book made by Beth Lea from the Bluebell Wood blog. In case you were wondering, Stumpwork is another type of embroidery, it's 3 dimensional and is often referred to as raised work. It was popular in the olden days (around the late 1600 - 1700's)

This little mini is only 2 inches high.
If you want to see how Beth created this mini then head over to her blog for a very detailed description including templates, advice and even a shopping list of supplies. Beth has really done a great job putting this together (It makes me want to add stumpwork to my growing list of crafts i want to learn.... sigh)

make a Cupcake Mini Album

Leslie makes this cute Sweet Angel Cupcake Mini Album.
Using old or scratched cd's create a "chain" by gluying 2" of ribbon to a cd. This can be repeated until you have 4 or 5 cd's (pages) to play with. Glue patterned paper to all the cd's covering the ribbon. Add your photos, envelopes, chipboards, flowers, rub ons, etc to album. For the top I used a 5" foam ball. I punched 1" circles and glued to ball, then added ball to a 5" circle covered with a doilie. For the base I used a cd case. I trimmed the case with paper and added chipboard, rub ons, flower and bling. At the top of the cupcake add layers of flowers and a pin. You can see my album by visiting my blog...www.leslieguerrero.blogspot.com

It's all in the details

As every scrapper knows, It's all in the details. And those details can definitely to be found in one of my favourtie scrappers, Lisa Pace's new book that was released last month.
It is full of more than 40 techniques for charming embellishments and accents that you can learn to create beautiful projects with a vintage flavour.

It's got quite a broad range so there's a little something for everyone, from the scrapper to our crafty kids, from card makers to the mixed media artists.

If you want to see what there is on offer the artistnetwork.com is offering the Crepe Paper Rossete project for free on their site
