I've been busy off and on in my craft room this week working on another mini album. For this one, I used the 5th Avenue paper collection from Melissa Francis. Such pretty paper in my favorite pastel colors.
I had purchased two 6 x 6 paper pads of this collection online late last summer and also some coordinating chipboard pieces. Being the hoarder of pretty things that I am, it took me a while to actually get up enough gumption to put it to its intended use. I find it so hard sometimes to cut into such pretty scrapbook paper. But I am getting better as I've come to realize there will always be more out there.
Here's a sneak peak of just a couple of the pages, still in progress...
It's almost, but not quite finished. I still have a few smaller details to finish up and then I'll show you the rest.
And as I took that last picture above, I realized I forgot to show you the pretty lace trim I found at the antique store last weekend. It's very hard to tell from the picture, but it's the softest, prettiest shade of minty green..
There is quite a bit of the trim on the roll and it was very reasonably priced. Less expensive compared to what I would have had to pay for it in the craft stores or fabric shops.
Well, that's all for today. I'm heading out soon to take a short road trip up to St. Cloud to visit the Crafts Direct store in hopes of finding lots more scrappy goodness to add to my stash.
See you soon..
The green lace is so pretty.
