Muir Woods -- The Mini Album

Nothing like an overdue assignment to make you get photos printed! I just finished designing this mini album for my good friend Terri's scrapbook kit club, Color Me Miki...I ran to the nearest CVS drugstore yesterday and popped the memory card right into the machine, and voila...a few buttons later....PHOTOS. Easy......and I knew our recent photographs from our Thanksgiving Day hike at Muir Woods would go so well with this latest kit, Winter Whimsy. Terri's kits are packed...and I loved how versatile this one was...I easily used it for something not-so-Christmas.

I did use just a few things from my stash, silver acrylic paint...a few extra buttons (same colors you will receive in the kit), bookrings, and Vanilla Bean Raffle Tickets from my shop....and as you can see.........I machine stitched everything, including the photographs, to within an inch of it's life. Sewing makes me happy. My daughter says it was noisy--that oddly made me even happier. ;) Enjoy................I'll post a few more photographs later this evening.

Winter Whimsy -- Color Me Miki's latest kit!

I love this latest kit "Winter Whimsy" by Color Me Miki!! The colors and textures are perfect for Christmas projects...or just everyday events too! Very versatile.....here are two photographs of a layout I recently created with the kit............there's Jake with his fingers in the cookie bowl...he loves to help bake cookies....and Christmastime is a good time to do just that! These photos were actually taken a few winters ago...he is a big boy now....he gets himself up on the counter! I can barely lift him!
