Two Tags Die Mini Album

I thought I would join in yet another challenge, they are a great way of trying out new things. Todays challenge is from The Paper Players

My youngest daughter Jessica is putting together a memory tin and asked me to make her something to go inside, so I thought I would use the Paper Players Tic Tac Toe challenge and chose Pink and green (not a colour combo I usually use), Tag and Spring. I thought I would make a tag to go on the front of a little mini album but I ended up making the tag into a little mini!

 I used the largest tag from the the Two Tags Die. The front and back covers are tags and it opens up into a little accordion album. Stamp sets are Best of Everything, Itty Bitty and Morning Post Alphabet.

This is the back:

I had a little mishap, there was a ribbon tie and that I had stuck behind the front tag I thought I might stamp on. I had a practise on some spare ribbon, unfortunately it wasn't spare, it was attached to the album so I had to cut it off, (oops!). I made a little belly band instead!

Jess likes her little album and I hope you do too,

Best of Everything

My niece was 18 in December, ( I am getting old!) and I made her this card using the Best of Everything stamp set and Memorable moments for the 18. I chose a bright colour scheme of rich razzleberry, real red, pacific point, daffodil delight, pumpkin pie and lucky limeade. Made a change from Christmas red and green! I used marker pens to colour the flowers in and topped them off with some rhinestones for a bit of bling.

 I put a little pocket on the inside so I could slip some money or a gift card in. I did decorate the insert as ell, but I'd already written on it before I took the photo, duh!
