Here's my project for today's post at
She's a Sassy Lady: (Please hop on over to
She's a Sassy Lady and leave me a comment...you're the best!)
Hello my crafty friends! This is Kristy from
Craftin on my door, and I want to thank Sheila for letting me guest design again for
She's a Sassy Lady (I look forward to my monthly posts)! Two of my goals for the new year are to "use" what I have, and to "dig" deep and pull out cartridges that I haven't used in what seems like forever! Well, today I did both! Since, it is almost Valentine's Day I thought that I would make a mini flip album for my hubbie.
I was looking through Fabulous Finds and found the perfect album:
I used the flip album
, and the insert (no shift) on page 126. First, I cut the insert using the "Fit to Page" button on my Cricut. It showed that it would cut the insert at 3 3/4". Then, I cut the album at 3 3/4" also.
Next, I used my Scor Pal to score the album and insert. I then attached the insert inside of the album. I went through my pictures, found the ones I wanted to add, and cut them all around 3" x 3".
The fun part was going through my embellishments and seeing which ones I wanted to use!
On each page I added items like die cuts, glitter stickers, buttons, twine, fiber ribbons, flower ribbon, doilies, crepe paper, bling, pop dots, foil, and ANYthing else that looked fun to add. I think the MORE the BETTER!
On the inside page I added my journaling, and only put glue on the sides and bottom of the journaling so that I could add a tag behind.
Lastly, I added ribbon on the "spine" of the album, and "made with love" to the back of the album (why leave anything blank...right?!)
This was actually quite quick to put together, and if I have some more time I might even make some of these up for Stinkerbella's grandparents! I hope you all enjoyed a little bit of craftiness today, and I challenge you to "use" what you have and to "dig" deep and pull out cartridges that you haven't used in what seems like forever! Sending {LOVE} your way as we approach Valentine's Day!
<3 Kristy

Such a darling mini album -- and the embellishments are luscious! "Stinkerbella" is soooo cute! Thanks for this great idea!

This is soooo pretty! I would have never in a million years thought that Fabulous Finds has an album feature. It's time to pull out the oldies!

Kristy this is such a beautiful little mini album. Love your color choice and what a great tutorial! Thanks for sharing with us today at Shes A Sassy Lady and showing us this and your beautiful family!
Love this! I'm trying to replicate on my gypsy. Is there a "fit to page" button or way I can do this on my gypsy? Thanks!
Luvy,
You can set each piece to cut at
3 3/4" on your Gypsy.
:)
