Pink Mini's for a Cure Fundrasier

Most of you may know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. This is a cause very close to my heart as both my grandmother, mother, and several other close family friends have died of this disease. I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in a "mini album" challenge that Laura at Following the Paper Trail is hosting. Myself and 20+ other extremely talented women created "Pink Mini Albums for a Cure". Laura is hosting a silent auction on her blog form Oct. 31st until Nov. 7th. All proceeds raised will go to the Susan G. Komen for a Cure Foundation. Check it out!


The front cover says "Sweet Things".  That was my theme and most of the elements used in the album are "sweet things". (Click on any photo to see it in a larger format.)

This is a close-up of the three charms that I attached to the metal ring, that is holding the mini together.  I have also attached a ton of ribbons and fibers to conceal the ring. 

Pages One and Two

Another view with the tags removed.



Pages Three and Four


This is a close-up of flower and pink ribbon detail on page three.


Pages Five and Six


Pages Seven and Eight~ There is an additional small "cupcake" charm that is attached to this page.



This is a close-up of the "mini" round album that is tucked into page eight. I embossed the three inside pages with a glittery embossing powder.


Pages Nine and Ten


Pages Eleven and Twelve



 












This is a close-up of the tags from page eleven. Two of the tags are clear acetate with stamped images on them. There is a small flap on page twelve that has room to journal on. 



Pages Thirteen and Fourteen


Here is a close-up of the tags from page thirteen. The white tag says "It's a sweet thing" in the bottom right hand corner.

Halloween Mini Album #1

I made this mini Halloween album to donate to the elementary school where my best friend's children attend. It will be raffled off at school's annual harvest festival.

I made the album using five small envelopes and the Recollections Halloween paper pack from Michaels.

This is the front and back cover. I placed ribbon along the spine.
















Inside view
















The first two pages~ The small purple bat was cut out from another sheet of paper, inked around the edges, and attached with pop dots for dimension.
















A view of the tags.

Pages 3 and 4, the ghost bag was cut using a 2x2 quickutz die and it was attached with pop dots so that the tag is able to slip underneath.














Pages 5 and 6, I cut the two small black bats out and attached them with pop dots for dimension. (Click on the photo for a larger view)

Pages 7 and 8, the file folder has a small journaling spot inside. I cut out three candy corns, from another piece of the paper, and attached them with pop dots, and added a little stickels for dimension.


These are the last two pages. The small ghost is from a quickutz 2x2 die. I inked him around the edges and put pop dots on the back for dimension.  The tags have journaling spots on the back.


When you remove the tags you get a surprise!
 
Boo!
