shabby chic mini using prima papers

I'm busy working on a shabby chic mini using the Prima Romantique collection. Be on the look out for some pics or a vid this week. This mini is really trying to challenge me. I want to ink it, tear it, and grunge it up, but I'm trying my best to stick to shabby chic. White washing it, white lace, and flowers are harder to do than you think. ;) Check in with you later on my progress.

I have several more ideas. I want to start an old farmhouse vintage looking recipe book for my daughter. I'm excited to play with my Le Cirque Graphic 45 papers as well. A paperbag mini sounds fun to me. What do you think?

Fashionista mini

This mini album is about to be on it's way to New Zealand. The papers I used were the Graphic 45 Fashionista stack. Most of the flowers were made using Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die cut. The leaves were his Tattered Leaves Die cut. I am just going to use metal rings to bind it because it is such a chunky album. Graphic 45 and anything by Tim Holtz is always a favorite of mine so those products are used in abundance in this mini. On the front cover I have used a cut out from the Graphic 45 Communique collection. The film strip ribbon is also from the Tim Holtz collection. I also glimmer misted some flowers from Recollections. The ink is mostly vintage photo and walnut stain.
Anyway, I can't remember everything I used (I'll learn to write that down huh?) but if you have any questions, just give me a shout. I hope you enjoy viewing the mini as much as I enjoyed making it.
Michelle I hope you have fun with your album and I can't wait to see mine. :)
