While browsing at Michael's, I spotted these white cardboard eggs and they just called out "Mini Scrapbook to me:) I have been wanting to make a unique mini book and these were perfect for a darling little girl's first Easter. My friend, Liz and I had a great time discussing how to complete this project. I was pleased how it turned out. Can't wait to add the pictures that her parents will take during this upcoming weekend. I have included a few of the decorated pages. Depending on the pictures, I plan on leaving a few pages blank for her mom to journal. I think I can include 8-10 cropped pictures in this scrapbook.
Some of the decorations on the eggs look a little crooked but it was the was just the photo!!

This is the last page and it will be for journaling.
Recipe:
DP: Some were from my stash and my friend, Liz chose some from her pastel stash to complete this project.
Stickers: Michael's... Alphabet stickers: The Dollar Tree
Images: I wish I could give all the artist credit but they were not signed and I downloaded them before I started putting the site or artist's name with the download.
Ribbon: Michael's
Notebook Rings: Office Max
Small Eggs: Spellbinders Nestabilities
Modge Podge was used to adhere the DP to the cardboark eggs
I hope you have enjoyed viewing my first mini scrapbook. Perhaps I have inspired you to craft one of your own. Splitcoast Stampers have so many ideas to choose from.

ReplyDeleteDear Barbara
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comments on my blog and loving these little egg-books. Just perfect for pictures.
Half-single is my own interpretation of having an on/off boyfriend who lives with his mum 30 miles away and cannot make up his mind about what he wants. Maybe I should just become "single" hehe
Hugs, Mette
A gorgeous book, thank you for joining us at Ellephantastic Hugs

WOW Barbara how clever of you to make an egg shaped mini album - it's beautiful, you are so lucky to have 'Michaels' in the USA we have nothing like that here in the UK, looks like I may have to move stateside lol.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog, I just want to explain, the term 'Bank Holiday' means a public holiday here in England and as I live at the coast lots of holiday makers flock here on 'Bank holiday days. Hope this answered your question. Have a lovely weekend
