Mini Album ~ My World

I decided that I had time to attempt Smidapaper's June challenge of coming up with a "mini book with soul" at the very last minute. Was completely inspired by the colour combination of the blues, greens and blacks. The cover might be temporary though as J is demanding for "her" notepad holder back. Anyway, it remains an album (for now) until she next looks for it.

A close-up of the little 'window' I made with the Hambly.

One of my favourite quotes by Oscar Wilde.

Update:-
To use the words of my 3-year-old ... Holy Toledo! I'm so excited!!! Okay, so before I got a chance to post this original post, I found out that I had actually won the challenge ... and this now resides with me. Can't stop smiling.

Accordian Folder Album

This is a little present I made for my nephew for his 2nd birthday. I hope he likes it!

I doodled the white outline of the word with the Sakura Glaze pen (the outline actually pops up slightly, giving you the effect of embossing), then used colour pencils to add touches of colour. The faint stars at the top are done using masking with chalk ink. All stretched out - side ASide BThe star is manually cut out from cardstock and inked around the edges for better depth. I then adhered it with 3D glue dots to make it pop. The embossed word is actually done using metallic ink which the photo does not seem to show to its true effect (click on photo to get clearer view).
