Punky Sprouts and Melody Ross....

Can I just say that meeting some very special ladies this past weekend was so awesome.... Shelly Mitchell, Owner of Punky Sprouts gave me a Punky Sprouts book and some Melody Ross paper to create a sample! First let me tell you how freakin' excited I was about this..... Second, I love these books because they have chipboard, acrylic and canvas......Third, I don't know where I have been but the GCD Melody Ross paper and embellishments are just to die for...Sounds cliche', I know but I am serious. Bright and vintage and full of 50's charm!!!!

Seems like the true love of my life..... making mini books is resurfacing. I love teaching mini books too.....So many people in our area love 2 page layouts and they are against taking book classes. Well I am here to say that with a mini book you get a better bang for your buck.... Why? You make several pages all with different techniques and design. You get much more product and usually have leftover supplies. A Mini book is just that, a mini version of what you can do on a layout so you walk away with a ton of new ideas to create future layouts....

Punch holes around the edge of the acrylic page on the front.

String your ribbon or toole thru the holes.

Fold up a piece of the Scallop canvas and make a little pocket by sewing the edges.

I used the transparent embellies to make little journal cards.

Just adhere the transparent piece to a folded piece of card stock... make sure an edge of the transparent piece is hanging the folded side of the card. Cut out your shape.

Make a little surprise pocket. Fold a piece of paper and stitch and tie the edge. Add another journal card or a surprise gift card.

Use a Tattered Angels Glimmer Screens and Glimmer mist over it onto the Canvas...

Makes for a great page design!

I painted on the canvas and on the back of the acrylic page.....

Sew around your photo instead of matting it.

Well I sure would like to know what you think about this mini album..... hope to see a comment...

Since I have an extra Punky Sprouts album and some left over Melody Ross paper and Embellies.... Leave me a comment and let me know you have pressed that wonderful LIKE button on Facebook for Punky Sprouts and GCD Studios. I will randomly chose a winner Sunday night after I return from New Orleans.... I am teaching a class at an event for Acadiana Croppers! So very excited....

Big Hugs,Amy
