Happy WOYWW?! again. So nip over to Julia's Stamping Ground and join in! This week, I've covered another Amazon box (with 'Sweet Dreams' from The Works) and filled it with my 4x8 Design Paper Pads. (I always forget I have them, so now I can see them and still forget to use them!) And a few of my nearly used up 6x6 papers pads. And!! with a little partition at the front there's space to add some small or narrow embossing folders.
You can just spy my phone, it's playing Shiny Silver Treasures; You Tube ... she is making two cards using the freebie 'Woodland Collection' from Papercraft Essentials #196, so because I have that, it was waiting on my bench so that I can 'craft along', when I suddenly remembered, it's Tuesday! Go draw the freebie and take WOYWW?! pictures! So I did.
Here's a bit of the inside. Haven't finished filling the pockets yet. Video Links to make these mini albums #curio by B-spoke (who talks nice and slow! Get a screenshot of where he sticks the glue!) and Einat Kessler, who adds a lot more pockets and tags and has links to downloads of measuresments etc. It's my birthday on Friday, Hubby sez, 'What would like?!' 'Ummm!!???' We could do with a new bird table... or, maybe some more crafty stuff?? There's still a bit more room in the hall! That's it from me! It's only 3.30 in the morning, so I'm a bit early this week! (But I'll be late linking) I'll have a little bit longer snooze time! Happy WOYWW! Thanks for stopping by!
Argh! Another inspiring link to follow. You are bad for my time management, friend! But I just love me a mini-book - any kind, and technique, and size...I cannot help my self when I see yours. So sweet and such attention to detail. I am averting my eyes on the covered boxes. Luckily it was recycling yesterday or I would not be responsible for my actions...
ReplyDeleteHave a great desk hop!

Fabulous work, they all look so interesting. Elaine
ReplyDeleteThat’s a good use for the lovely soap box! In fact I like everything you’ve shown this week, the papers from the Trago Mills haul are particularly pretty. Oh go on, ask for something crafty, I’m sure you could squeeze a bit more stash in your craft room, lol!

What a little work of art that mini - album is. Keep twiddling! xx Jo
ReplyDeleteLovely mini albums there Lyn! It feels great to use freebie papers and older stash sometimes doesn't it?! As always, stay safe and keep smiling, Lisa-Jane #8
ReplyDeleteSo love your mini albums! I want to make them too, but so far I haven't had the courage yet. I'm not exactly good at measuring stuff and I'm afraid that I might mess up my nice papers! Will check out those videos! Happy Wednesday! I can't believe you were up until 3.30! Oh, and happy birthday for Friday, fellow Piscean! xx zsuzsa #24
ReplyDeleteYour paper box is very pretty and oh so handy! Great albums! Have a wonderful week!

Oh WoW !!! Those little books are amazing :-) I hope you have a great Birthday :-D xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteIf you can make a mini book from one sheet of 12x12, I predict you will be able to make a library! I like the 6x12 size pads too, useful without having to do too much cutting. A lot of the scrapbook companies produce an 8 x6 to match collections. They are useful for scrapping but god, they cause a lot of waste in English card making sizes! Great bargains from Tiago last year, when you consider that some individual papers are as much as 1.99 each! Happy birthday! I’m thinking a birdbath wouldn’t need to be found house room!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for stopping by my blog, dear. It's been ages since I visited. I guess WOYWW 600 was the last time I was by to see you. One thing I noticed is how clean your work space is. I remember from years ago, you almost prided yourself at not being able to keep a clean work area. Now it looks so orderly, clean, and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday this Friday, dear. However you spend it, I hope it is great.
Love how you store your papers so they get seen and used Lyn. The mini books are stunning. SOme inspiring links today too. Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #4
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday for tomorrow! LLJ is right, ask for something crafty.
ReplyDeleteIsn’t pretty storage great?! Your soap box is beautiful. Lovely work on your mini book.
Stay safe

Hi Lyn. Thanks for the visit to mine and your lovely comments. I'm late this week as I've been trying to sort out stuff for my mum coming home. Your little journal books are amazing and a great way to use up all those pretty papers. I fully understand forgetting to use stuff. I have great intentions when I get them but soon get distracted by something else. Have a lovely birthday, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteWhat a hive of activity on your desk this week, Lyn. I love all your gorgeous mini-albums! And good old Trago Mills - we've got one quite near us here in South Devon too. They've always been really good for arty stuff.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,

Hi Lyn, wishing you a very happy birthday for tomorrow. I went to a craft class several years ago and we were shown how to fold that little album. I bought mine home and never did anything with it. I might just get it out and finish it! Have a great Angela #21
ReplyDeleteYour mini albums are stunning! Happy belated WOYWW. Take care and stay safe. With love & God Bless, Caro xxx (#18)
ReplyDeleteHi there!! Paper is the bane of my life, I have so much of it and so much that I never think to use. Love upcycling boxes for storage. The mini album looks delightful. Happy WOYWW, I'm slowly getting round! Have a lovely week, stay safe, stay well, love n hugs Cindyxx #23
