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.

Undiscovered Picasso

I'm totally inspired by this colour these days - Cerulean Blue ... according to Nick Bantock, love that ink colour to bits. Finally managed to get off my busy schedule *ahem* (read: lazy butt) to participate in a little challenge ~ using little one's art in a LO. Remember J's artpiece from here? Well, I hope my LO does her piece justice.


Distressed the blue cardstock and the blue splashes of paint on the background is actually J's handprints ~ which by the way, she LOVED doing. I had to submit some kind of torture technique to the piece so I messed up the alphas with some copper ink and copper-embossed them for that kinda-rusty-kinda-dirty look.

J loves butterflies - this one got stickled a teeny bit.

More paint and a little journalling. Ce'st fini!

Sadly though, J asked if this was done for her and when I told her yes, she was disappointed. Apparently it's not "pink" enough ... exact words were "But Mummy, you know I like pink ..." yes, as in THAT shade (fuschia), oh well!

These 3D flowers were made from the same pattern paper where I cut out each petal indivdually and inked the edges before I 'curled' them slightly using scissors and assembled them with 3D adhesive.
