Mini album continued....

Hi friends....Happy Wednesday to ya'! Abby here to share the 5th "page" of my very first mini album. This little project of mine continues to challenge my creativity but I must say I'm havin' lots of fun discovering how a mini album comes together. Beth my dear I don't know how you do it....I've always admired you and all the other bloggin' gals who can put an album together so fabulously but now I'm down right in awwwwwe of anyone who tackles these brain teasers.....

I'm still just a 'babe' at this mini album thing so bare with me as I figure it all out.....hopefully with some practice I'll get better at it, lol. Ok so here we go.....this little number was inspired by an Easter egg.....and it all started with this delicious Basic Grey Nook and Pantry page that Lisa sent me.....I absolutely love the cheerful colors and the different designs through out this page....it was just begging to become something springy and fun.....
....to start I cut along the edge of one of the designs on the page....then adhered just the top portion to layers of beautiful Webster's Pages ......offering sort of a flap or closure....
....along came the embellishments and the shabby touches I can't resist.....a pocket created with vintage lace....an old safety pin with a few vintage buttons...
.....another smidge of Webster became the removable card....
....bits of gathered ribbon along the page.....
.....and a butterfly made her way to this springy themed creation....just covered up a Tattered Angels chipboard with pattern paper and a few glazed brads and she's a beauty....
.....did I tell you how much I love this Nook and Pantry page....I'm sure I did.....you must get your crafty hands on a page or two....you'll know what I mean! And while you're at it....why not check out a few things that compliment it beautifully.....like the Basic Grey sugar glazed brads, Prima pebbles and flowers.....pretty much anything Tattered Angels.....and Webster's Pages, of course!

Well there you have it...my 5th page....I'll share the rest of the pages as they come along......so be on the look out....

Oh....almost forgot! As of March I'll be here every other Wednesday.....sharing different creations made with my favorites from BlueMoon.....see you in a couple of weeks!

Abby:)
