Hi lovely friends,

I'm back with a very fun project. This month I'm working with the super cool Wild Heart collection from Crate Paper and I made a mini album.


What I noticed in the Crate Paper collections lately, is that the ephemera packs always include very big pieces. I almost never get to use those pieces in my layouts, so I really like to use them to make mini albums.


So to start I chose all the big tags and other big pieces that were included in the ephemera pack. I also cut a piece out from the cutapart patterned paper.

Then I used my new We R Memory keepers crop-a-dile eyelet puncher to punch an eyelet through every piece of paper.


There were also three frames in the ephemera pack. I used them to make shaker pockets, using sequins from Neat & Tangled.

I put all the pieces together with a ring and started decorating the album. I used photos from some of my vacations in Gran Canaria and used all the good stuff from the collection. Chipboard stickers, cardstock stickers, puffy stickers, epoxy paper clips and clear foil stickers.  I created three paper pearls, using papers from the 6x6 paper pad. I threaded them together and added some Maggie Holmes mini tassels to make a super cute hanging embellishment that I added to the ring.


I really love making mini albums, because it always looks fun and you get to use a lot of your embellishments.
I hope you like it too. You can watch the process video on YouTube here:

Hi friends,

I'm back on the In The Scrap blog sharing this layout with you,

For some of the tiny stars, I punched out some stars with a punch using the gold and green glitter papers from Shimelle. This time, I didn't put the stars behind the cutfile, I stuck them right on the cutfile, again not trying to place them exactly straight.


For the middle sized stars, I took my piercing needle, I pierced some holes and I stitched the inside of each star using metallic thread.


Then I used a lot of embellishments from Shimelle's Box of crayons and Dear Lizzy's Stay Colorful collections and the Shimelle sticker book. I used stickers, puffy stickers and some pieces of ephemera.


I matted my photo on some pieces of scrap and placed it on the right side of the layout, overlapping the cutfile a little bit.

For my title, I used three banners from Shimelle and I used the alpha stickers from the same collection. I love to mix all the letters and colors, it gives a really cool look.


I hope you enjoyed reading this post.
