Splendor 3-Ring Mini Album

Saturday's workshop is a 3-Ring Mini Album and while I tried to conserve by suggesting to use a paper set that everyone already had (because of a workshop that we did last month or so) most tried to talk me into the Splendor papers.  Today is a preview of the Splendor 3-Ring Mini Album.  Today you will see cover and page 1.  But I assure you that the rest is just delightful.

So now this will help along your decision.  See all of your who are coming to the workshop on Saturday.  And for those who aren't but would like instructions - email me for cutting guide, etc. 

FAC - Pages 5 - 10

I finished the rest of the mini album and took a break for Fourth of July. I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th, remembering that our Founding Fathers were profound in their recognition of the threat that comes from Globalists wishing to destroy our freedom, especially FREEDOM OF RELIGION, SPEECH and RIGHT TO BEAR ARM AGAINST a tyrannical government. Hmmm seems our Founding Father's knew what Globalist could do to a government and a country.  How amazing and brilliant our Founding Father's were!

So, continuing with the Fabulously Artsy Challenge. Here is page 5--which is a pocket:

Here is page 6:

This is the front of the pocket insert (below):

And here is the back of the pocket insert (below):

Next we have pages 7 & 8 which is made into 4 small half pages.  This is page 7.  The tag is made by gluing 5 punched circles of cardstock together:

Here are the center pages of page 7 & 8:

The page below is the back side of this  -- page 8:

Page 9 is a fold out page:

Here is the page with the fold out flipped up:

And finally page 10.

I think that Teresa Black is an amazingly creative person!  Hmmm I wonder if she is left handed?  Well, next Saturday we will be putting together one of these little babies but it seems like the Splendor Paper Pack is the paper of choice.  So now, I'm off to start those creative juices flowing!!  Wish I could borrow some of Teresa's creativity....

FAC - Pages 3 and 4

Now here are the tags:

Lastly, here is page 4. 

Tomorrow I will have some more pages. Enjoy!

FAC - Pages 1 and 2

Sometimes it is nice to have pictures in still life although Teresa Black truly did an amazing job with her videos on this challenge. So now here is page 1.  The page is actually folded to make a pocket for page 2:

Now, here is page 2.  The front of the pocket could be a place for journaling or used to convey some title information.

And here is a closer look at the tag in the pocket:

More posts on this to follow, but next will be the July Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.  Ta ta for now!

Fabulously Artsy Challenge

I am working on the 3-ring Mini Album and decided that I had to have at least one artwork post for the June before the July stamp of the month blog hop started.  Teresa Black, a Close To My Heart consultant, has a mini album contest which I'm doing for a workshop and personal challenge.  This will be an ablum of my Grandchildren (2010).  Well, here is what I finished last night using the Veranda papers:
