Better late than never! Although I didn't get finished, we went ahead with the reveal. When I visited last week with +LaDenna Lawrence we started this challenge as a side by side one. Then I brought it home and we finished separately.
The challenge was to use a block of Styrofoam (I wish I had a pic). And we had to make a mini album to go with it.
This is the front of the "book". I glossy accented the butterflies and glittered the flowers. Still have some work to do on it before it's done.
We carved out a place to put the mini album. I still have some embellishing to do throughout.
This is the album inside. Tonight was the first time I put the album inside and TRIED to close the book. Epic fail! It wouldn't close-the flower is too bulky. So, back to the drawing board! lol
This is the cover of the album.
The following are a few of the pages. Like I said, still a lot of work to do on it. I will post a follow-up when I complete it.
This week was also our monthly card challenge. Since we do a month ahead, this month we did 4th of July cards. I always make cards to send to my grandkids on all the holidays. That's where these are going with a little surprise tucked inside.
I do like how these turned out. In the pics you can't see how sparkly they are. I used Cricut cuts to embellish.
Next week's challenge (my choice) consists of using stove burner pans (1 and/or 2) and Cricut cuts to decorate them.
This will be interesting! Join me back next Thursday for the reveal! : )
As always, thank you for taking the time to stop by. It's always nice having visitors and comments!
Have a wonder weekend!

Love those 4th of July cards, they're wonderful. I've been meaning to get busy on a set of Family Albums but have just been way too involved with trying to sell my handmade jewelry and get my comatose etsy shop alive and breathing, if that is even possible :D.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have an Etsy shop too. Things have been slow. I think it's this economy.
