Right Now.

Last week I was noticing all the beautiful colours that Fall brings us - ok I have been doing that more than just last week, but last week was when I got an Idea to make a fall photo book of all the beauty around us. I shared this photo on my IG here and this is one of the shot's above from that shoot. Why make a book out of leaves? I think it's going to be great, and I'm looking forward to making it. Stay tuned. Happy Tuesday folks.

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.
