this is the first page of a little mini I whipped up this weekend
at a craft for cancer retreat.
I was going to show you pics of the album splayed (is that a word??) open
but I sold it and forgot to take a finished project pic.
so please bear with me as I show you

One of the things I did when I started this album was to stamp
half a dozen of these flowers (C1494-card word puzzle)
cut them out
ink the edges and then added some stardust Glitz glitter to the center
and set them aside to dry.

I wanted a pocket on this page
so I could just stuff some photos' in it
I cheated and
glued the flap down on a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 envelope
and then cut it in half lengthwise (I now have two pockets 2 1/8 x 5 1/2)
then I just trimmed it down to 2" wide
adhered it to the page and then added a decorative strip over top.
Instant pocket

I love the zip strips that are found on one end of each of CTMH B&T's
one side is a decorative 1/2 border (which I used on this page)
and the flip side has all the paper pack info--colors and product code.

I also stamped some of the smaller flowers & butterflies (found on C1494 --card word puzzle)
cut them out & inked their edges before added them to the page

Hint--when starting a project like this I like to pick a few stamped images that I will use throughout the album. I stamp about 6 or 7 of each, cut them out and have them ready to add where needed

I also stamped a flower from the Workshop on the Go (G1033)
cut it out and used some 3D foam tape to make it pop off the page.
