My Little Monkey Mini Album

I did say that I would be posting some completed mini albums to share, and finally I am bringing one for you.
This album was created with an idea from Patricia Viramontes via You Tube, using a file folder.  I chose two green foolscap folders to use with papers I got from Aldi called Playtime Papers.  It all lent itself to an album for a little boy.
I made most of my own embellishments as well as some paper from Echo Park which I cut into photo mats or journalling mats.
Using the green papers was a bit of a challenge as I found it harder to match things up.  In the end, it is quite a simple way to make a 'simple' mini album.  The paper is quite busy and bright, but overall I am happy with the result.

And here are most of the mats/tags I have in the album.  I hope you have gained some inspiration and ideas from this share, if you have let me know.

I also have a You Tube video posted below which will take you through the pages.

Thank you for visiting, till next time ...

Getting Some Creating In!

It's been a while since the last post here! I have done very little scrapping, and then trying to scan/photograph the layouts just escapes me ... so my posts haven't been happening!

I did some digi scrapping last night. Went to the LSBS to learn some more about Photoshop Elements. Doing things with an instructor is so much easier for me ... generally I tend to work things out for myself, which can take so much time. I found doing the class meant I not only learnt things immediately but I had others to talk to and learn more.

Here are the two pages I did - not necessarily the design or paper I would choose, but they are a good start and I feel satisfied with what I achieved.




I am planning to do some paper scrapping tomorrow, finally! But I am certainly interested in doing some more digi scrapping, practising what I learnt and learning more.

Check out these sites for great Digi Scrapping freebies. And here to learn more about Digi Scrapping via Video.

Smile :-D

I was just sent this great little video, it's worth watching till the end ... enjoy!



I hope to get some layouts scanned and uploaded in the next couple of days ... so stay tuned!

Till next time ...
