The mini book | finished.

Last week I posted this mini book - in progress that post is here if you want to track back, So I finished it on the weekend & with everything memory keeping wise I kept it super simple using just things on hand in my office hoarding away. Get that stuff into your book - I thought to myself so happy I did!  Looks better there anyways. 

Not starting in order of pages here but somewhere in the middle I took a beautiful mess 8x10 paper that came in the kit and trimmed down to 4x6 placing a wood veneer on top, the opposite page has a cardstock in orange and then I took another 3x4 card and cut down and sewn on to the page. 

Oh happy day indeed. I took a transparency page from michael's craft store (clear + green) trimmed down to 4x6 and placed a cork sticker "oh happy day" from a beautiful mess. 

Left page is a full 6x8 photo & added in a little journaling right on the film photo.

Another 4x6 photo and used a Elise "today is" stamp.

This page I took again from a Beautiful mess kit and trimmed down to 4x6 adding in a weekly washi tape strip date stamped and journaled. Left side is orange cardstock and trimmed 4x4 photo + journaling.

This page I made a little side tab out of the fabric that I have been creating with from Ikea on various projects sewn onto the orange cardstock. Left side I trimmed down 4x4 journal on the film photo. 

Opposite side the fabric wraps onto the other side and I stapled a wood veneer full 4x6 on the right side + journaled on the film photo.

Full 4x6 with my hand carved stamp and drawn a box around the stamp. 

Photo is trimmed down to 4x4 on teal cardstock + stamp from a beautiful mess. Right hand page is a paper from my left over PL Seafoam edition. 

Photo trimmed to 4x4 on another Seafoam paper. Right side is a word transparency then a full 4x6 photo with date stamp on top.

This end page may be my fave, that photo of her and that silk screen painted pineapple to the right + stamped with the year wraps up the book just right.

Finally the back of the book, This was so so fun! I am really taking a liking to the mini books and hope to do a lot more with other projects.

Hi Trisha. This is totally random, but have you used the FoxTrot transparency from the June Messy Box? If not, are you interested in getting rid of it? I'm a dancer and I would love to have it for my album. Let me know! Thanks.
