Well, I'm happy it's done...

glad I did it... and I'm satisfied with the results... but I'm not sure I'll make another. I have big plans for the rest of these transparency sheets, though... have some stamping ideas in mind!

Enjoy the weekend, friends!

Looks like it's going to be beautiful.

Transparency Mini Album

A short while back,

my blog friend, Ros... Mikey's Mom... and I did a swap of supplies and she sent me some transparency sheets that I had been wanting to make into a mini album. I've been captivated of late by the creativity of Stephanie Miller. As nearly everyone knows, she is in the forefront when it comes to mini albums. After watching her Ustream for Prima where she created a fabulous mini album with transparencies, I just had to try making one. Believe me... it wasn't as easy for me as it was for her.

I had a hard time

lining up my paper to the transparency, and in the end, I trimmed some of the edges with my Tonic scissors. Unfortunately, I'm one of whose people that are bothered by slight imperfections in their projects and I "try" to fix them all. (Probably why it takes me so long to make a project.)

The papers are all

from the Glitz Vintage Blue 6x6 pad and a few scraps of the 12x12 sheets plus the Vintage Blue Whatnots die-cuts I got from Audrey's Etsy shop last year. I thought it was time to use up this collection and make way for a new one. I'll try to give a brief description of what I used and how, but I may need to break this up into two posts... we'll see how this goes!

What Can I Say?

I'm so sorry, dear friends!

I've been in a creative frenzy, and have neglected my blogging duties. Here is a peek at what I'm working on right now...

a mini album using 

the transparency sheets Ros sent me. Believe me... this has been a challenge! My desk is utter chaos and I can hardly reach my keyboard to type... but I HAVE to finish this tomorrow. 

I promise to visit as soon as I can get this done.

Thanks for stopping by!
