Fall Mini Album

Hi Everyone!!! It's November and it's time to enjoy the autumn leaves, Thanksgiving, and pumpkin patches!!! I just can't believe the holidays are already here! This year has flown by so quickly! I am happy to be here this month with my November project. This month I decided to create a Fall Mini Album using the Perfectly Shaped Build a Book pages. I know that I will be taking a lot of pictures this month because of Thanksgiving and all the other Fall activities that my family does.

The Perfectly Shaped Build a Book pages can be found HERE. The shapes I used for my mini album are the Square, the Mega Sawtooth, and the skinny Rectangle. These pages are very easy to create with. I used several different types of ink, paint, and paper to embellish these. MOSD has many different shapes that are available, so don't forget to check out the MOSD website for awesome products for all of your creative projects!!

Here is my mini album:

Cut-Outs

The chipboard comes in many shapes and sizes and I love how it can make a page come alive. I used one of the shapes and cut my PP and then distressed the edges. You can reuse them to cut them out or you can use it with the PP as I did. I wanted my photo to pop a bit so it added dimension. TFL

Its Begining To Look...

...like Christmas everywhere! Can you believe how quickly they start the Christmas season?! On November 1st there was Christmas music playing in the stores, Christmas commercials on TV and Pre-Black Friday sales beginning in stores! All this Christmas hype gets me feeling like I am behind already! So I plan to take time this year and enjoy the holiday season and I want to remember how we spent this BUSY time of year! To help me I am planning to do a 25 days of December mini book this year. I have the pages covered in pattern paper and numbered so when December starts I just need to take my pictures each day and then put them in and journal about our day.

To create my fun little book I of course turned to the AWESOME Midnight Oil products! My pages are an assortment of of the various shapes of the Perfectly Shaped Pages and my covers are the Perfectly Shaped Covers. I have 25 pages in my book for a total of 50 pages allowing me LOTS of room to capture my memories, but with the spiral rings I can always add or take away pages as I go along! Here is the start of my book and be sure to follow my blog during the month of December to see how it all comes together!

Well I hope you may have been inspired to create a book of your own and be able to reflect on all the fun memories that you have during the month of December!

TFL!

Scrap some words...

One of my favorite types of mini albums to work with is MOSD's Cover 2 Cover mini albums. Cover 2 Covers have chipboard pages and acrylic covers.
My project today features the Show Off album. I added a couple of extra chipboard pages to the four it comes with.
I chose to create an album featuring Words to Live By. Here is the concept behind my mini:
I chose 10 words that have a powerful impact to me and built my book around it. I used a variety of vintage looking products to create a collage of quotes and thoughts for each word. Here is a peek of some of the pages:














I hope you've been inspired by this mini to choose 10 words to scrap.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Expressions Word Books

MOSD's Expression Word Books are so much fun! You can have them custom made in a variety of lengths with plain letters or new scalloped edges!

First lay out your letters how you want them to sit, trim as necessary.

Decide if you want to cover your letters with papers, with photos or a combo of both. Add the adhesive to the top of the letter & put your paper or photo on top. Trim with an Xacto knife (I sanded the edges to help hide any trimming imperfections :) ).

I punched holes in the chipboard letters with my crop-a-dile and used Spiral Rings to hold the book together and added some fun baseball ribbon!

As always, thanks for stopping by the MOSD blog! :)

Tiny Baby/Tiny Book... Baby Book

I love all the fall projects we see this time of year.

They are filled with such lovely earthy colors!

But as life would have it,

a little miracle of pink or blue will pop up

amongst the array of earthtones.

Isn't that awesome of God?!

I so appreciate how His creativity is most colorful!

We had little "Emma" bless our lives last month

and I want to give her mom a little something

that is ALL GIRL

since she already has two boys that are more than all boy!

*

I created this little mini book from the center part of a

Perfectly Shaped Mini Scallop piece by MOSD.

I simply cut the outer parts of the piece away

which gave me a 3x(nearly)6" cover for my mini album.

My inside pages are 3x6.

I left them all this size so a teeny part of

each page would show when the book is closed.

*

I used my Cropadile to punch holes in the binding

and threaded ribbon through before tying with a knot.

The book stays closed with another piece of ribbon

which is secured under pieces of card stock

layered within the inside of the front and back covers.

May you be blessed by the many colors of

God's creativity today!

“BOOOOOOO--EssenseVibez in the Houzeeee Again!”

EssenseVibez in the housssssee!--and yes, it's my turn again to present a spooktacular project for you to enjoy--this minibook was designed for those who like to send grandparents or favorite Aunties Halloween/pumpkin patch photos---

I used various Midnight Oil Perfectly Shaped chipboard pieces to build this book---I used patterned paper on one side of the chipboard and painted on the opposite sides of the pieces--Added cute lil' embellies with foam dots--Then added pictures and tied twine around the pieces and to hold the book together--






If you happen to make one of these books--We'd love to see it!
